Hi Andrew.
I finally found time to install and study the functioning of your QLC 2.1. I must say that he impressed me very much.

The Qimsi works perfectly, I have no doubts about that. Yes, the problem arises only by connecting the keyboard to the SuperHermes and this happens by connecting the keyboard directly to the SuperHermes.

Marco

I think that the qimsi non gold doesn't work without the SGC, or am I wrong? For the rest I will try to follow your advice.

Yes, to run a QL OS with standard QIMSI, you always need a CPU on the QL side, not necessarily a SGC of course.

If I understand correctly, you are using an external ...

... If I restart this time with Minerva or SMSQE, the QL starts normally but both Jan's keyboard drive and the SMSQE one (if I restart with this one) do not work correctly (


Hi Marco,

what do you mean with "restart"? Press the QL reset button? If yes, the QIMSI is not reset, because the ...
