# SMSQ/E on the QXL

For the last several months, there has been a lot of press and discussion of SMSQ/E, Tony Tebby’s latest serving of QL software inspiration (and sweat). In case you haven’t had a chance to keep up with the news, SMSQ/E is a new operating system written by Tony Tebby to replace QDOS on any QL compatible hardware which has a faster processor (faster than the original 68008) and 1 Meg or more of memory.
