That's the problem with only optimizing snippets. Depending on how "bad" is defined the instruction is allowed or not. In case of PC relative it's only valid as a source, true. New offer: lea bad(pc),a1 movea.l (a1),a0 move.b d7,(a0)+ move.l a0,(a1) Same amount of lines, but less code (10 ...

Hi, Thank you, this helps. How about the snippet TWO, any room for optimisation? Coded in C language *bad++ = d7; red_fail movea.l bad,a0 ;Recover Bad Ptr list move.b d7,(a0) ;Mark failing sector lea bad,a0 ;Increment Bad Ptr addq.l #$01,(a0) movea.l image,a1 ;Reset Image Ptr bra.s sec_loop ;Read n...

Yeah, I just noticed, thanks a lot!

So deleting characters is a bit of a pain. Is it theoretically possible to install some kind of machine-code subroutine that would intercept when 'caps lock' was pressed and reinterpret that as pressing 'delete'? Actually that is probably not that difficult, at least for CapsLock. You can register ...

I think I have all issues, the first x years however just in form of the A5 copies the club provided for back issues.

It could possibly have been even something like a Microsoft bot, as the site includes a download of QL Conqueror (and QL Success) both emulators, which rely on MS-DOS / DR-DOS and/or CP/M - oddly the MS-DOS / DR-DOS companion to Conqueror is not included in the download..... I wonder why.... Type &...
