Yes, looks hot, eh ;) How did you get it to read a .win file, though?
Sorry, I made a mistake in the message, I could not read the hard drive QWA file.

Re: SMSQ/E Beguiners Guide

Hi, I have read the QL/E readme file. What you have do is: Create a FAT32 partition on the SD Card. From THE DISTRIBUTION directory: Copy the QL/E file: QLE/QLE.WIN to the FAT32 partition Copy the file: QLE/Q68/Q68_RAM.SYS to the FAT32 partition The SMSQ/E file: Q68_RAM.SYS is configured to load QLE...

Re: SMSQ/2 on Atari

Hi, I have the Hatari emulator booting into SMSQ/E v3.37, in glorius monochrome. I had to change the keyboard options to symoblic code, as the _ does not work if it is selected. If a ST or DOS disk image is attached to thevDidknDrive, SMSQ/E can read the disk image. But a disk image created on Qemul...

Re: SMSQ/E Beguiners Guide

Hi, The description of the location of a QWA container file, also known as QXL.WIN file is not quite correct. As stated in the manual, the SD Card must have the first partition created as FAT32, where SMSQ/E and any QWA or QUBide container file are held. Addition partition can be created as FAT or F...

Re: SMSQ/2 on Atari

Hi,

There was a plug in module into the Atari Catridge port, that could load SMS2, which could run in the Atari high resolution mode (800x600). Though dedicated Atari monitor is requred, but I modified a Mono VGA monitor to work with the screen mode.

Does anyone have any experience SMS2?

Re: SMSQ/2 on Atari

Hi,

I tried a QVME on a TT030, which worked okay only Mode 4 colours.

Compared to the Q68, which can do 1024x768 Mode 4, looks the same.
