Re: [Ql-Users] Rawread
Ah, thank you. Floopy is simple enough even for me :o) And cheap enough for me too (Freeware!) I tested it with a USB floppy as drive A: on my Windows 7 64-bit PC and it successfully if slowly created a disk image of a HD QL disk in about 10 minutes. It won't handle 720KB QL disks (it recognised it as such), only 1.4 MB ones on this system at least. Probably because Win7 doesn't handle 720K disks. I should also have mentioned that the SMSQmulator manual states that currently only 720K (DSDD) QL disk images can be handled by SMSQmulator, not the 1.44MB HD disk images.

Hi Wolfgang, Many thanks again! MACHINE keyword with 20, 30 solves the problem.

SMSQmulator fixes it --- On my Lenovo G575 W7/64bit laptop, something precipitated a similar and frustrating keyboard problem. It was noticed after I had just commissioned Windows Live Mail - though I cannot be sure it can be blamed. Reading from my hard-copy log, this is what I wrote at the time - 1. WORD E-mails now demonstrate a wrong character set. 2. Set international settings (somehow changed to 'US' from 'UK') to 'UK' and hot reboot. No cure! 3. Change 'system locale' to 'UK'' and hot reboot. - No cure! 4. Change 'Input Language Keyboard to 'UK' - and hot reboot. - Cured!

Re: [Ql-Users] SMSQmulator
Hi The simple answer is yes. I have been running the full version of QDT with no problem. Just a little slow but usable, at least on my system. Such a shame that QDT will most likely never be finished. I understand the reasons why, but still a shame.

Op Thu, 24 Jan 2013 21:01:53 +0100 schreef Wolfgang Lenerz w...@scp-paulet-lenerz.com: Ho Bob, I have added this to the machine-test-routine and updated Qwatch2 on my site. Also the latest SMSQmulator now gives the correct Amsterdam time on my Vista system. So far, so good. It seems that the DATE problem has been dealt with. I have tried it with internet locked and virus scanner off. I removed Java 6 and updated Java to 7.11, booting in mode 32 is faster than mode 4 but still time enough to pour myself a cup of Java. It doesn't make a lot of difference. Sometimes when nothing else is going on in my SMSQmulator this clock runs quite normal (move every sec.) but for no apparent reason it freezes for 15 secs or more. Anything else is still to slow to be practical. Could you check something for me? Go to Config - blinking cursor pause and set this to 0. Does that make any difference? (It shoudln't, at least not when booting). Alternatively, do you have any other program that could make your machine run flat out? Does this slow down after a few minutes, too? Apart from my Opera browser nothing else is running. With firewall and anti-virus shut down not even that. Zero, 100, 200, it doesn't make much difference. After quiting SMSQmulator the processor drops to below 15%. Another command that is missing is WIN_REMV which I use to share qxl.win drives between QPC's, I now have to kill any QPC to let SMSQmulator access the same drives. Yes, that is by design. You can always unset the QXL file in the Config menu, which will release that QXL.WIN file. Not a big problem but as it is so slow on my system I had to make adjustments to the boot file from QPC which locks the qxl.win for SMSQmulator, so has to be killed before each new try.

I tested both 720K and 1.44M floppy images (in the simplest of tests). I can do some further testing with 1.44 (read, write, etc) and see if I can get any failure. Tim Swenson ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

Ah yes, contrary to the documentation (I'll amend this) SMSQmulator should handle 1.44 MiB disk images Writing to the images will always fail. This is a read access only.
