Re: Piggyback 4164 to Diagnose Memory Fault
Looking at the photo, Is the pin 2nd one down on the left supposed to be connected to that large piece of track.
Also there are a of solder splashes that might be bridging tracks, Give them a scrub with an old tooth brush, and/or scrape them off with a small (watch makers) screwdriver.

Re: Minerva4Q68
Thanks for that. I will add a warning in the FORMAT description to not format WIN drives, and to do it in SMSQ/E. I have already added a warning in the concepts document to avoid starting Minerva with CTRL-Fx. Another quick question, Is the QUB device like the SMSQ/E one , in that it should only be ...

Re: Minerva4Q68
I've had a play with this. But I've found I can't do what I wanted. I wanted to start Minerva, then use WIN_DRIVE to mount whatever QXL.WIN file I wanted. But there's no WIN_DRIVE, or CART_DIR$ commands in Minerva4Q68. You have to use menu config to set the Minerva4Q68 WIN associations first. I supp...

Minerva4Q68
Just a quick question.
If I start Minerva4Q68 from SMSQ/E with LRESPR. Once Minerva has started, Can I safely mount QXL.WIN container files in Minerva4Q68, that were mounted by SMSQ/E beforehand. i.e. When Minerva4Q68 starts, is SMSQ/E completely gone. And any open files are closed.

Re: Has anyone ever tried "long filenames" from H.P.Recktenwald?
I wrote this https://www.qlforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php ... ept#p27694 some time ago.
It was just a proof of concept, and I never went any further with it.

QoE Ethernet driver version 0.44 for the Q68
This update is a bug fix for a problem when saving a SBASIC program with NETO from QPC2 to the Q68, when Windows chops up the QL network packets.
I found this bug while working on the IP Network driver update.
There is no manual update needed.

IP Network driver version 1.15
This is an update to my IP Network driver to co-exist with the NDQ68 QL Network driver by Martyn Hill on the Q68. It does this by introducing a config block which allows changing the drivers device names and SuperBASIC extension names to an alternate set. The config block also allows the IP Network ...

Re: 720 sectrors
Hi, Is it the drive your having problems with, or some particular disks. If it's the disks, are they Double Side Double Density, or Single Side. I think you used to be able to buy SSDD 3.5" disks. If single sided you will only get 720 sectors If it's the drives, Do the heads need cleaning, or t...
