Re: Q68 Serial devices

Q60: I will do as soon as it will arrive....it is taking age, update later. Fabrizio My suspicion would be that the converter might have no buffer. At the moment, the Q68 fetches keycodes with a rate of up to 50 per second. The Q68 hardware the tells the keyboard not to send more, until a recent key...

I wrote him to check if eventually he can deliver to France a couple of unit. Let's see. Keep you posted Fabrizio BTW, for $18 currently on eBay they are selling USB to PS/2 converters.

Re: Run benchmarks and share your results

Hi, are you using QPC under a VM ? Maybe parallels with Mac OSX? I read VM (in general: Parallels & VMware) can slow down graphics, even if I don't remember why and where i read it. Fabrizio Apropos QPC, on my i7 laptop I'm finding that the results are very inconsistent. One thing is certain tho...

Re: Beyond Super Gold Card

I checked again because this is a video resolution for Q68 I've never used and the refresh speed, according my feeling, is more than adequate: DISP_Mode 4 1024x768 (4 colour) Fabrizio well, it's not only the screen refresh for high color display that slows the Q68 - Also, the poor CPU has lots more ...

Re: Beyond Super Gold Card

Hi, the problem rely mainly on the fact that i consider Q68 and SMSQ/E a modern system, saying that the resolution of 1024x768 is an acceptable resolution but 4 colours are absolutely ....insufficient, valid only for using old program done for QL.
