Yes but I just finished running an exhaustive memory test and no memory errors were found.
So memory problems are out of the question.


No I meant the problem was with the way the memory was used on the system not with the system itself.
Regardless of that I removed ALL extensions that I am running and only left QMenu and QPAC2. Sysmon continues reporting fragmentation
As Rich Mellor so rightly asks, What version of Sysmon is it. This has been updated.

That is silly. You cannot use PC (x86 code) firmware on a Q40!
Wrong. The firmware is what is on the chip that does the controlling. That firmware is, these days, often flash memory so it can be updated to support new media (as happens often in CD Writers etc.) The hardware and O/S has to interface with the onboard firmware in order to control the device. I thought you went to college to learn this stuff!! (He he)
Nonetheless all but one of my ISA controllers are dual channel ones and are supported by SMSQ/e as well as QDOS Classic and Q40 Linux. Many people use them (among others Fabrizio which bought it on his own)
Probably not the likely cause of the memory problem as I said.

Well I wouldn't call my Aurora setup redundant (or slow) for that matter myself but that's strictly a personal opinion. (However if it is redundant I'll be glad to relieve you of it ;-) -for free of course-
:-P )

Would this be to go with the Aurora and SGC that you asked me to hold onto for you which you then did not reply to my email about asking if you wanted it?


But I did reply to your email! Twice actually! However the above reference was a joke (unless you want indeed to give it for free :-P
So was mine but the only reply I got from you was to say you were going to reply.
Once you have SMSQ/e you cannot use Minerva (except for the I2C part) but that doesn't stop you from NOT loading SMSQ/e (where QWord plays quite nicely and floppy speed is faster than with SMSQ/e)
See my reply to Rich Mellor
Not exactly. Not all SMSQ/e's are the same and AFAIK they don't all have EXACTLY the same code. What would happen then if you tried to use Cache modes commands on QPC or Gold Card?
They do have different modules added in to support the various hardware differences but the core code is, I have been informed, always the same. I do not think anyone has changed the Cache modes which were written by TT at Peter's behest.
