Subject: QX-10 with ZCPR3 and NovaDos

CEO summary:
Over the weekend, I finally got around to installing NovaDos and I am 
currently working on installing ZCPR3 on the QX-10.  In installing 
NovaDos, I discovered after some debuging that the BIOS was patching 
the BDOS was causing things to be screwed up when the BDOS was 
replaced with a different version, but I got it to work.  I tried 
getting Z80DOS to work, but it keeps coldbooting.  Installing ZCPR3 
is difficult, but with the BDOS replacement, I think I can work out a 
way where I just add a BIOS extension overwriting the BDOS and using 
the original BIOS for services (this is where the ZCPR3 buffers will 
be stored, along with the cold boot requirements) and BDOS and BIOS 
will be loaded below that.  My questions are:
(1) Has anyone else installed any of these things on a QX-10? (If 
someone is insterested in using them after I am through, I would be 
interested to here from them as well).
(2) In loading NovaDos, it mentions a library NVDSUTL.LBR, and Z80DOS 
mentions library 2 of 3 as being Z8D24SUP.LBR.  Does anyone have 
these two libraries?  They are not on simtel20 where I got everything 
else.
(3) Any suggestions about installing ZCPR3 to use bank switching or 
in a fixed BIOS size environment?  Thanks.
