I plugged the Qubide into the spare slot on the MPlane (I hadn't realised it's upside down compared to the other slot!) and the problem remained. So that seems to have eliminated an Mplane slot fault as the source of the problem. For now, I've given up. What I've done is to plug my romDisq into the EPROM slot in the minisql, wire up the hard disk LED to the pair of pins furthest from the gold connector on romDisq and copied the SuperHermes Lite keyboard extensions into it. This way, I can get most of my programs and extensions into RomDisq and do routine work from floppy disk. Not the most satisfactory solution (I'd rather have the Qubide and hard disk working!) but it'll do in the short term. Thanks to everyone who tried to help. -- Dilwyn Jones _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
