Please bear in mind that the book was written on the rel;ease of the QL, when on FB Roms were available and there has been many bug fixes since then.

I have tested the SuperBASIC listing of the Disassembler in Superbasic: JS,JM, Minerva v1.98 and SMSQ/E v3.38 v3.38, seems to work, though very primitive.

The assembly listings are untested and there for reference.

This book is not submitted to Gihub as the QDOS Companion.

Thanks Derek, I still have a hardcopy of this book but it's starting to fall apart now

Unfortunately, some errors in the original book have been carried over to the digital version. These are from my annotations:

• Page 108: EXG mode bits 10001 are of course for Dx,Ay not Dx,Dy
• Page 112: LEA instruction opcode was missing in the original but the correct opcode is 0100xxx111mmmrrr where xxx is the address register in the second operand
• Page 116: the size bits for the MOVE instruction should be 01 for byte, not 00.

Hi

According to the FaceBook (FaceAche) Spectrum Next Group that Simon Goodwin, does not think my efforts were any good:

there are new mistakes and the original was typeset - so I prefer it.

But strange thing he does not want to say what the errors are, just criticise the efforts made.

Maybe not worth the effort is getting all this available and correct...

It's not worth worrying about faceachers, I left those groups long ago for being the domain of trolls.

I appreciate having the book in digital form.

Derek,

The people who do almost all the hard work, never get thanked often enough. I know I've thanked you before for your PDFing, but I'll say it again anyway, thank you very much for all the work you do.

And funnily enough, I was looking for my Qdos companion only yesterday!

Cheers,
Norm.
