Stephan, imagine all the work to read a reply from yesterday! You can not expect that! Let alone studying the manual we wrote in so many workhours. We really should improve service. Maybe a free phone hotline 24/7 would suit user requirements?

I would be more like the 80s and make it premium rate, but top idea

I did telephone support for the Q60, it is a thank less job, that no one appreciates. On variably, no one reads the manual, but need some one to tell them them answers.

No, I order the parts from a printing service. And thanks for the update!

Which service do you use and are you in the UK?

Before I bought some 3D Printers, I used Treststock, which has a directory people who do batch 3D Printing in many countries.

My remix is ​​also suitable for QIMSI Gold with RTC:

Hi. I've seen this version when looking around but am concerned the use of screws/bolts may lead me to damage the QIMSI Gold if I get it wrong

Would probably be ok, but I'm hoping to find a "just slot in" version like I have for my QIMSI non-gold

Will have a think about it though

Many thanks

Thanks Mark, but does the QIMSI Gold fitted with the RTC option fit please?

(I don’t do 3D printing so have to get it done by a local company)

Many thanks

Yes it does. I specifically changed the original design to fit the battery and IC on the bottom, as well as the extra HDMI socket. Attached are some photos of mine.

Many thanks Mark

Following the news about the new Spanish keyboard driver for Qimsi Gold, I have a question regarding the external PC keyboard driver for "Qimsi" and "Qimsi Gold." I'm posting this here because it's not related to the new CPU accelerated driver, but rather the traditional external PC keyboard driver.

The thing is, in the latest version of SMSQe, the keyboard driver that comes with Q68 has a really handy feature: the standard use of the "Home" and "End" keys (which replicate the behavior of ALT-right arrow and ALT-left arrow). This new feature is super convenient for users. However, the Qimsi external PC keyboard driver doesn't include this Home/End key behavior.

So, my questions are: Could it be an issue with my system? If not, will there be a future version of the Qimsi external PC keyboard driver that supports the Home/End keys, similar to what Q68 already has?
