Hi Guys. First the good news, for those of you who have been helping with my Aurora. The KVM switch is now working with my Aurora, After fitting a keyboard PS2 to DIN and PS2 to Serial mouse connector the KVM happily switches between PC and Aurora and the screen quality is perfect.
Now for the bad news, The Aurora doesn't appear to fully boot up. I will describe best i can what happens when i boot and what messages appear on screen. Ok, after switch on i get the usual QL multicoloured screen which clears and gives the MINERVA logo, shortly followed by the F1/F2 Set Monitor/TV , F3/F4 For Duel Screen, 1.93 @ The QView Mega Corporation etc. At the top of the screen i get the following: TF Services RomDisq V2.14 @ 1997 TT Super Gold Card V2.49 Real Time Clock Failure ( Haven't fitted new Battery in SGC as Yet ! ) QUBIDE/REBEL Driver v2.01 @1994-98 Initialising ......... ( the ...... appear one at a time over a few seconds) FUJITSU MPB3021ATU LTN526S At this point the PC's keyboard appears to recognise me pressing the F1 or F2 key although if i wait it seems to carry on. Although probably not important, If i press the F1 key the screen clears, shows the usual window #0,#1 and #2 where the windows are white / red and black, if i press F2, the screen becomes a blue square for a blink of an eye before we have windows #0,#1 and #2 where the windows are black/red and black. after a couple of seconds, the screen clears again and i get the following green on black messages at the top of the screen. TF Services RomDisq V2.14 @ 1997 TT QUBIDE/REBEL Driver v2.01 @1994-98 Initialising Whilst the messages are duplicates of before, the system gets stuck on Initialising and continues no further. Phil, the previous owner suggested the keyboard driver loaded from the RomDisq and prior to fitting the PS2 to DIN convertor suggested the system could be hanging, not able to 'find' the keyboard but seeing as F1 and F2 are being picked up oin the initial boot screen I'm no longer certain. Appologies for the lengthy nature of this email but I guess the more info the better. Many Thanks Neil. p.s. removing the KVM has the exact same results so i've discounted this as causing the lockup. p.p.s. Before being able to fit the keyboard/mouse i took the RomDisq out and booted up, was able to boot up far further, with windows #0/#1 and #2 being shown with plenty of text ( cannot recall what all the messages were but there were plenty of Version numbers ! ). I haven't performed this since fitting the keyboard mouse so i could try that again if need be. It had been suggested by the previous owner ( thanks for your help ) that it could be the *********************************************************************************** The contents of this email are confidential to the intended recipient.
