Announcing the new "Gold Card" - QIMSI Gold

[Peter]

SMSQ/E has all the supported languages built into one single universal binary - Swapping it thus doesn't make much sense. You need to configure (using menuconfig_exe) your desired language into said binary.

And the menuconfig program is also in the win8_ container. LRUN win8_boot starts it.

Hi

The QIMSI Gold uses other Language commands, please read the QIMSI Gold Manual, Chapter 3, Page 13, Keyboard Section

For people who do not read manuals:

Keyboard

Currently, only PS/2 keyboard drivers for SMSQ/E and Minerva are available for the QL. (Super)GoldCard
SMSQ/E versions 3.40 and later have inbuilt driver support. After booting your QL you load and start
SMSQ/E, e.g. by LRESPR WIN1_SMSQE.

Once (Super)GoldCard SMSQ/E is booted, you can activate the PS/2 keyboard by using the command
“KBD_PS2”. You can change the keyboard language by “KBD_TABLE_PS2 x”, where x is your country
code (e.g. UK = 44, Germany = 49). When the PS2 keuboard is active, the QL keyboard no longer works,
and vice-versa. You can switch back to the QL keyboard by “KBD_QL”. Only the Minerva ROM supports
auto start, so this is required to fully omit the QL keyboard. Also Gold Card or Super Gold Card is manda -
tory for SMSQ/E.

For the QL's Minerva operating system, a driver is provided at github.com/janbredenbeek/QIMSI-KBD,
whhere you can also find more information about using QIMSI as keyboard interface. The Minerva driver
also supports the KBD_PS2, KBD_QL and KBD_TABLE_PS2 commands.

On QIMSI Gold, if you are using the PS/2 keyboard by the operating system on the MiniQ68, it can work
alongside the QL matrix keyboard.

Is there any 3D stl for a QIMSi Gold enclosure?

I have printed this one:

(Not my design, but QLObi's - fits perfectly)

Does this housing accommodate the QIMSI Gold with RTC and super cap as well?

I don't think so - It's already very tight with the normal one - But nice and tidy.

But I'm sure If we ask nicely, Detlev will tinker until it fits

Then it's not good for me either. I have the QIMSI Gold with RTC.

[Peter]

Detlef just told me he'll have more time to look a case for the RTC variant in autumn.

I have printed this one:

Looks much better than the "Wurstlegemaschine" output I had seen from you...

The case in the picture has actually been produced with a "Würschtlesleger" (i.e., an FDM-Printer). But on highest quality with 0.1mm layer height.
