Is there any way in which SMSQ/E could use the Qubide driver calls to implement what has been discussed? Or the only other way would be a new or modified quibide rom which allowed SMSQ/E to work in this "indirect" way.
Given SMSQ/E's modularity, a Qubide module might be feasible without having to think in terms of replacing the ROM, but I don't know enough about the device drivers to know how feasible this might be. -- Dilwyn Jones
