I'm having issues with the win images. By the third (small) file that I try to add to a drive image. I get a drive full error. I have tried 8, 15, 16, 31, and 32 Meg images and it is always the same. The images are created with qxltool. My system has vMap installed. I get the same results with or w...

Hi bwinkel67 Can you expand on this: I haven't done a spec comparison between the QIMSI Gold and the Q68. Can someone give the fundamental difference between the two of them if you use the QIMIS Gold as a stand-alone computer? In other words, what would be the advantage of now buying a Q68 if the QI...

Hi,

Why look at QL World 1989 May page 14, DIY Toolkit Stopwatches.

Hi,

unless there has been a change DISP_TYPE does nothing, as with the DISP_XXX functions.

I asked Wolfgang about a while back, confirmed, maybe it has been implemented.

Hi, The quote from the Q68 SMSQ/E manual has been mis-interpreted, the CREATE_CARD command creates a blank unformated QLWA/WIN file in the FAT32 partition. To allow use of the QLWA file and give it a WIN number, it is required to be formatted. The WIN drives are protected from accidental formatting....

Hi, I have been asked how to determine the screen mode or a Q68 screen, which SMSQ/E has a function: RMODE RMODE seems to work only in QPC2 and SMSQmulator. On a Q68 RMODE returns 0 in all Q68 screen modes. What is the best way to find the Q68 screen mode? My rough solugion is to use the screen reso...

Hi all, be aware: The jumperable QL-SD will only work in QIMSI mode but not in QIMSI Gold mode. See here: https://qlforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?start=10&t=4540&sid=c55a6fbbb71d217fcee23ac9d035a77b Stephan Hi Stephan, Thank you for reminding me I forgot about the update. I will just use my Jum...

Hi,

The QLSD is not in production, but if the need is there maybe I could get some made.
