Hmm. Even on my trusty P3-600 server over a virtual VNC X session over
a WLAN link QPC ran pretty usable when I just tried it. So this is
probably not entirely normal.

Very strange but fits with the repeated characters (clock ticking much
too fast so SMSQ/E goes into auto-repeat within milliseconds instead
of seconds). How fast does the cursor blink?

QPC needs RAW sector access to read/write floppies. Not sure whether
WINE emulates this at all and cannot test as my server doesn't have a
floppy drive.

WIN is in QLWA, not QL5A format.
