Re: Fast Plot/Draw toolkit / viepoint manual/ PD3 Manual
The "Giga" thing used to be part of nearly every program name that ABC Electronic in Germany sold. So, it's likely it was part of their software line (I do, however, not recall a "Fast Plot" toolkit) As a lot of ABC stuff was distributed in the UK through Digital precision, I t m...

That sounds like GIGABasic. Should be on Dilwyn's site.

Many thanks The reason is that whe...

Re: Joystick/Sound in Supervisor mode?
Inside of timerTick, you cannot use a6 to update your variable (it has another value in the polling interrupt routine than in your code and will actually point to the system variables). Instead, you get a pointer in a3, not in a6, to 8 bytes before timerLinkage(a6) - That's because the polling routi...

The QL's RTC is only progressing in 1s intervals. You could use it, but it would make your program crawl The polling interrupt is really the only way you get a suitably fast tick rate.
If you pack your sources and put them here I could have a look at it.

Re: Dev_use how to use?
The dev_ device us built in SMSQ/E. There is a loadable device driver for the standard QL, that you probably haven't loaded. You'll find that in the Toolkit section on Dilwyyn's site.

Re: Software updates
Unless there's here's little nasty gremlins changing the wiring every now and then.
