Hi guys, The QL bug bit me hard this year, and so I'm recently the proud owner of a Q60.
The amount of time I have to enjoy this machine isn't what I'd like, but I have started to tinker, and will move some of my 'little projects' across to this machine from my QPC set up (which itself runs under Windows vitualisation on my Intel Mac - I gave up on PC's, except for work, as soon as OS X appeared from Apple!). Now, I'm having a few problems with crashes on the Q60. Naturally, I'm hoping that this is a software issue (or some interaction) and not a hardware fault per se. Two methods that I can crash the machine easily with: 1. Once booted, right click on the "Utilities" menu before doing anything else. This locks up the machine with 100% probability, unless you've been off doing something else after booting (such as launching/using an editor). The menu appears, but the machine is borked and needs resetting at that point. This works equally 'well' on SMSQ/E 3.10 (ROM) and SMSQ/E 3.12 (loaded from boot file). 2. Playing with QSPLAYER. After starting and stopping playback a few times, or loading different samples, the sound will eventually pick up noise or other corruption, eventually the machine crashes (usually with very pretty screen artefacts being drawn). Actually, I have only had this happen on V3.12, not (yet) V3.10 - though I've played with it less in that configuration. Now, I'm not sure how many people here have Q60's. I see some discussion about 3.12 flying by, so maybe there are a couple of bugs to be squashed in the next SMSQ/E. I'd like to know if there's any way to get a crash dump that might be useful to someone.
