Re: New (to me) Q40!
I found atari-disk more flexible allowing any number of partition and varying size of partition. The down side was it was a Linunx application, I could not find the source code to it to try and port it to the Q60. The exact name of the software is atari-fdisk, just in case someone actually searches...

Re: New (to me) Q40!
The Q40 mainly used SMSQ/E, which used QXL.WIN or QWA container files that are located IDE devices, accessed by the I/O Card(s) Not container files, QLWA partitions on an Atari format harddisk.

Re: Lightning SE
Hi, I bought the disk and ROM version in 1998, which did make a big difference. I had to get the rom updated to faster access EPROM, as it would not work with the Miracle Hard Disk. Those nice people at Miracle Systems did the free upgrade. There is a nice way to add founts to channels, but Toolkit ...

What viewers will bd able to PAC files?

Re: New (to me) Q40!
Hi Chr$, The Q68 does not have hardware flow control on the serial port, so you have use software flow control, check the printer manual, there should be configuration switches to alter the flow control for the printer. The Q40, uses a PC I/O Card, which has full hardware and software flow control. ...

Hi, I have the first version of QL-SD, which is installed inside the QL case in place of a Microdrive and attached to an updated ROM board in place of the QL Rom. I wanted a second SD Card reader board, but could not be supplied with one. So that I could throw away all the Mircrodrives, I do not nee...

Re: New (to me) Q40!
The QLSSS is not only not good, it is shit as it was designed with exactly one platform in mind: the Q40. Supporting it well on anything else is a huge pain. But I didn't want to split the user base needlessly, so I adopted it despite all its flaws, at a great personal expense time-wise. Hi Marcel,...
