Marcel, I have the previous version of SMSQ/E at home. Ok, A small but significant update.
Removal of the RomDisq appears to have solved things, or at least, moved things forward. I no longer get stuck on the 'Initialise' screen, The machine continues to boot and im left being able to use the keyboard. Entering Jobs gives me two jobs, the second being HOTKEY The Boot program is pretty extensive ( 45 lines), highlights are ( there may be type errors as i need cut/paste ) TK2_EXT WMON LRESPR win1_exts_smsq_gold LRESPR win1_turbo_sms_code LRESPR win1_qpac2 LRESPR win1_menu_rext LRESPR win1_c68_env_bin LRESPR win1_ipcextuk_bin LRESPR win1_c68_pth_rext LRESPR win1_c68_redir_rext LRESPR win1_c68_sigext_rext DATA_USE win1_data PROG_USE win1_progs DEV_USE 2, win1_progs DEV_USE 1, win1_data SETENV "cc=win1_c68_cc" SETENV "CFLAGS = -c -v - DQDos" SETENV "TMP = ram1_" SETENV "TEMP = ram1_" SETENV "c68 = -warn =3" SETENV "cc_path = win1_c68_" SETENV "cc_opts= -v" SETENV "cpp_opts = -1 win1_c68_include_" SETENV "lib.dir = win1_c68_lib_" SETENV "tz=GMT 0" SETENV "TERM = Qdos" SETENV "TERMINFO = win1_progs_terminfo" BT_SLEEP "sysdef" BT_SLEEP "EXEC" BT_SLEEP "PICK" BT_SLEEP "RJOB" BT_SLEEP "files.";"\dwin1_",,,1 ERT HOT_WAKE (".", "Button_Pick") ERT HOT_LOAD ("x", "win1_progs_xchange") ERT HOT_LOAD ("e", "win1_prog_editor") ERT HOT_LOAD ("v", "win1_progs_elvis") HOT_GO This HOT key... so how would i trigger this and also, when the Aurora finished booting, i was aware of a few icons on screen with a padlock but the mouse seems to have little effect. Finally DIR flp1_ gives Qubide 1007984/104800 sectors , this is the HD and not the 3.5" so Im not able to access the 3.5" !! also, how can i access the CD ? Sorry for the questions, if only there was a "QL systems for Dummies book !"

I have fixed it in 3.03, so if you have any earlier version it might be worth to update.
