QIMSI HELP

Post by mhanias »

I have the following issue with QIMSI
1. I transferred the files to the microsd card
Q68_SMSQ. WIN
2. QL_ROM.SYS
3. QLWA. WIN
( I renamed the qlrom_uk.bin file to Ql_ROM.SYS)
2. With qpc2 I transfer the files from QLX.win to QLWA. WIN
3. I installed QIMSI on QL which has trump card 768 with gotec floppy and Greek ROM
4. At boot, the card :QIMSI and card1 initialized ,are recognized
But with the dir command WIN1_ not recognize the device WIN1_
What am I doing wrong?

I have also a QIMSI gold but I did not used yet

QL_ROM.SYS and Q68_SMSQ.WIN are not needed for standard QIMSI, only for QIMSI Gold (Q68_SMSQ.WIN is used by the mini-Q68 to run SMSQ/E, and QL_ROM.SYS for using the QL's keyboard with the mini-Q68). Since the standard QIMSI cannot run SMSQ/E, they are ignored.

Did you format the card beforehand to avoid fragmenting the .WIN containers?
