Minerva ROM: Second Screen, how It works?

[Outsoft]

Hi to all guys.

I would like to know hot to use the Second Screen on the Minerva QL Rom.

I supposed that can be used as a second desktop but I see that is only possible to switch it (and If unused is always black) and not operate with it.

I just supposed that can be uses as a "task switch screen" but I see that also with QTPI that works in task mode is absolutely not used.

I would like to work with it.

Best regards.

It has been quite a while since I experimented with the Minerva second screen. The majority of my findings appear in the SBASIC/SuperBASIC Reference Manual - http://superbasic-manual.readthedocs.io ... .html#mode and http://superbasic-manual.readthedocs.io ... clean.html

The main problem is that not much software was written which was aware of or could handle it.

Try MODE 96,-1 to switch the default screen to the second screen and then execute your program.

I think later versions of the pointer environment realised which screen was being used and switched when switching between programs, but I can't remember

Thanks dear.

I was able to launch a second Superbasic session on the second screen too
