As per the title really, is there a way to defeat the auto start on Minerva and leave it on the ROM scan F1/F2/F3/F4 page without auto starting? I couldn't find anything in the manual, and there wasn't anything obvious in the source. The code is in sb/start.asm at the read_key label. You need to se...

The main problem would be the possible creation of SMSQ/E forks while there is still an 'official' version being maintained by Wolfgang. It's not abandonware like many other QL projects and Wolfgang could get unjustified support calls for forked versions. I'm in more or less the same position with t...

The command to map a WIN device to a QLWA file on the Q68 is WIN_DRIVE <drive nr>,<SDcard nr>,<QLWA file> so WIN_DRIVE 8,1,Q68_SMSQ.WIN will get you access to the SMSQ system drive on WIN8. Then, do a LRESPR win8_config_menu_rext_english and EX win8_config_menuconfig and you can configure the Q68_SM...

The pointer to the linkage block can be found using PEEK_L(base_of_channel_definition_block+4). The pointers to the I/O, open and close routines are then at offset 4, 8 and 12 respectively. But when calling these routines register A3 is set to point 24 bytes below this, to allow for linked lists for...

A DS.W 1 at the end had no effect and in fact it could produce binaries with odd length - embarrassing when you tried to EXEC th...

The standard header is not really required - but recommended if you want your program to be identified by job control utilities such as in TK2. He has forgotten the trap #1 (mt.inf) after the first clr.l d0. But that should not cause a crash - only garbage as QDOS version. The real problem is that i...
