Code: Select all

⬢ [arch] ❯ cat sq68ux.ini
#SMSQE = Q68_SMSQ.bin
sysrom = Q68_ROM.SYS
#SD1 = q68.img
for Minerva booting, the emulator itself does not yet access the SD image to fetch files from it.

Emulator doesn't run the boot firmware that is on a real Q68.

It boots, but I cannot access the WIN drives after having them configured.

Maybe it's due to the old SD card driver from Wolfgang. I'm looking for a way to backport the SMSQ/E driver but without success so far...

I currently only emulated the byte access style that smsq/e uses to access the card, I haven't checkout the source for the older driver to see how it does it!

Thanks, I didn't see the "Releases" link at the right side.

It has now gained the ability to "boot" off SD card only!

Its still possible to load SMSQE or SYSROM from a file for testing!
