I can get the QL-SD Bdi file to opened in sQLux 1.02

Any clues on accessing BDI files?
BDI1=some-file.bdi
Then load the driver in the QL-SD distribution for emulators.

Re: sQLux v1.0 (The Xmas Turkey)
Great job Tim! I like your User Guides (SMSQmulator, uQLx and now sQLux)!swensont wrote:I have done what might be considered a more user-friendly sQLux User Guide with pictures. I have also created a QLX.win file to go with sQLux to get someone started. It comes with zip, Xchange, the Pointer Environment, and some other utilities. It will get someone new to the QL up and running. Both are on my website:
The WIN file (sqlux.win) is handy and small (2MB), but may not really attract people new to the QL. I think QL/E's WIN file (QLE.WIN) offers much more and presents the QL with a Desktop better understandable for people who never used a QL. Sure, QL/E is a bit more complex. But it already comes with sQLux preconfigured (sqlux.ini) to run.
QL forever!

Re: sQLux v1.0 (The Xmas Turkey)
Speaking of QL/E, today I've experienced that its QTop-Desk program (file TDESK) fails to start. This is weird because TDESK is known to run on all QL compatible systems.
First impression is that the SuperBASIC command BAUD does not work as expected. It just gives "bad parameter". Graeme, ?
Good nite,

Re: sQLux v1.0 (The Xmas Turkey)
That's interesting: BAUD 9600 (or other reasonable baud rates) works fine here on MacOS. Anything non-reasonable (like BAUD 256000, or basically everything above 19200) gives "overflow" (that one looks fowl to me, though, because it should say "Bad parameter").QLvsJAGUAR wrote: First impression is that the SuperBASIC command BAUD does not work as expected.

Re: sQLux v1.0 (The Xmas Turkey)
uQLx codebase returns that when there are no serial ports, on Windows port you can never have any serial ports. On linux you probably need to configure them.tofro wrote:Yep.XorA wrote: Would bad param be -15 by any chance?
But if TDESK is exiting due to this it is a bug in TDESK and not the emulator!

You got me!XorA wrote:What is TDESK?
Well, I should update the QL wiki https://qlwiki.qlforum.co.uk/doku.php?i ... p&s[]=qtop one time.
TDESK is the executable binary file of the program QTop-Desk which forms the core of the QTop package. It's TURBO compiled SuperBASIC. QTop if one o 6 Desktop systems available under QL/E.
QL forever!
