I had Taskmaster in hand about an hour ago, due to some re-organising and sorting out empty boxes etc. I actually have a spare Taskmaster now (in folder with manual).

As the MDV definitely would need to be refelted, does someone have a version on disk to send me the files (Rich?). Of course, I would give proof of the original.

Ask me about felt pads - I can cut them to size and they have proven excellent for mdv data recovery.

Re: Corrupt Programs
I was given taxcalc 1986-7 & Talent Cosmos as freebies, so don’t have any other versions (didn’t really want taxcalc but it was free so can’t moan)RWAP wrote: Thu Aug 08, 2024 11:15 amI now have TaxCalc 1986-7 as a working copy - just 1985-6 which is corrupt (tax3 file)
Sadly taxcalc was working (after using mdump_task) and Cosmos is corrupt

Re: Corrupt Programs
There are 2 versions of Cosmos:
- English version - v 2.03 is newest, updated by RWAP, and works on any screen resolution and under SMSQ/E, cursor issue is fixed
- Spanish version - updated by Angel Lopez in 1989 - better menus and a bit more features, works only in 512x256 resolution. Works under SMSQ/E, but on anything faster than stock QL the cursor is too fast to select any star, even when using Slowgold or Slug

The hardware SLUG of Q68 or QIMSI Gold should do the job.Andrew wrote: Fri Aug 09, 2024 11:29 am Works under SMSQ/E, but on anything faster than stock QL the cursor is too fast to select any star, even when using Slowgold or Slug

I do not see any reason why the Spanish version cannot be made freely availableAndrew wrote: Fri Aug 09, 2024 11:29 am There are 2 versions of Cosmos:
