Re: New Q60 Boards

Hi Dave,

You made me an offer, which I asked for 3 to try in 3 Q60 boards I have hat need a CPU.

Then the next day, when asked for a way to pay you, you said, you were offered over four times the price you quoted me. This did sound like you were increasing the prices.

When I questioned price ...

Re: SMS2 in FPGA



The question one might well ask is, what would be the point?

Re: SOLVED !! smsq/e on rom

Hi,

SMS2 was a QL compatible operating system desined to run on an Atari ST computer, Atari emulator, or FPGA core using Atari ST system.

It is no shock that SMS2 and SMSQ/E can run the same appointments software, because, they were both written by the same person.

I used have an AtarI STE ...

Re: MicroPicoDrive Popopo's version


Derek,

I can only profusely apologise! I was certain that you had posted in the past that you were dyslexic.

Again, I'm so sorry for this error.


Cheers,
Norm.

I would not use that word as I can not spell it. I doubt I have word blindness, as I have done a lot of higher education.

So ...

Thanks, I do not think I am Dyslexic, which I think is a little strong.

I am a little too abrupt and direct at times.

Re: lhq syntax

Hi,

you could redirect the help screen to channel in the command line, all C68 programmes accept this type or redurection.

EX lhq,#1;"h"

or use ACP and do not worry about the command options, as ghey are set in the ACP archiver options.
