Hi,

In the good old days, that is 1995ish... SMSQ/E was available for the Super 
Gold or Gold Card on a QL motherboard, with standard QL colours and resolution.

Nasta designed the Aurora and a 4 colour  version of SMSQ/E was released that 
used the higher resolutions of the Aurora.

There was talk of the 256 colours on the Aurora, but this did not appear till 
Marcel wrote Aurora Colour drivers.

So as I mentioned earlier, SMSQ/E Gold is for a Super/Gold Card on a QL 
motherboard, the Aurora version could be 4 colours with high resolution, SMSQ/E 
256 Colour is Aurora 256 colours with high Resolution.

The QXL, with SMSQ 4 resolution standard QL colours & SMSQ/E with same 
resolutions and high colour mode like QPC2 & Qx0...

 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.

Hi,

There was a version of SMSQ/E for the Super/Gold Card written before the 
Aurora, I think about v2.76 was the stable version where everything 
worked. I used it on a BBS with a Super Gold Card.


When the Aurora was released SMSQ/E could only do 4 colours with a 
patched version of SMSQ/E to use the Aurora higher resolution.


It looks like Marcel wrote the 256 Colour SMSQ/E and this was added to 
the SMSQ/E compile list keeping the SMSQ/E Gold in the distribution.


Both versions: SMSQ/E Gold, SMSQ/E 256 Colours need a Super/Gold Card to 
run.


Regards,

Derek

That might qualify as a bug then, because the only difference is the
screen driver (I also checked the build-script).

But as I said, I don't really see the point in this version anyway,
except maybe to save a few KB of RAM.

"GoldCard_256colours.bin"

(S)GC + Aurora mode screen driver (NO QL mode!)

Not sure why one would want to use that.

Cheers, Marcel



Thank you Marcel.

But I'm sure (i tested it) that GoldCard_256colours.bin doesn't work well on 
Aurora.
It doesn't restart QUBIDE and you remain without hard disk.

I'm pretty sure I've never heard of this variant and I was the one who
did write the 256 colour driver...

Listing the modules linked in the binaries I get this:

(S)GC + QL mode screen driver

>  "Aurora.bin"

(S)GC + QL mode + Aurora mode screen driver

> "GoldCard_256colours.bin"

(S)GC + Aurora mode screen driver (NO QL mode!)

Not sure why one would want to use that.

 For what QL system? 256 colours without

 On my QL Aurora + SGC I use "Aurora.bin" and
it is the only of that three that works, both in mode 4 in

The ultimate authority on this would be SMSQ/E Registrar, Wolfgang Lenerz
http://www.wlenerz.com/smsqe/

Just a stab in the dark - since the QL can't support more than 8 colours, 
this might be for emulators, perhaps?


Looking at the code, all seem to have the same version number, implying it's 
not a case of an out of date version remaining in the package, for example.
