Both versions:
SMSQ/E Gold, SMSQ/E 256 Colours need a Super/Gold Card to run.
But are there somebody (except me) who is using SMSQ/E on a real-QL or
Aurora
system, instead of only on emulators?
My system is as follows:
-
Aurora
- SuperGoldCard
- 1 FDD ED (Mitsubishi)
- Qubide with 2 HDD
-
SuperHermes
- PC keyboard (connected to SH)
- serial mouse (connected to SH)
There is a big bug in SMSQ/E versions for Aurora (also I think
for QL+(S)GC) higher than 2.91 DD Floppy disks are not read/written
Only HD and ED floppy disks works
This is a big handicap especially
for retro-compatibility with older floppy interfaces.
I have a similar setup.
And I think you are right, I am just not sure it's limited to the
GC/Aurora versions.
DD support seems to be broken since 2.91, which I would use for any DD
formatting.
Reading usually works but saving or formatting hangs the system.
Also I find ED less reliable and use QDOS for formatting them.
I once promised Wolfgang L. to really test this on my platforms but have
so far not found the time to do so. My main platform is now QPC2 with HD
but floppies are not much used these days.
