The Sinclair QL Forum

I've just been having look and a play in Qemulator. I must be misremembering the bit about the map. Mine in Qemulator does not seem to bother about the master cartridge being there Image1.png Image2.png Image3.png Note that the 255 sectors is because I'm using an image file I created that has 255 se...

It's been a very long time since I played with Cartridge Doctor (Decades?) Are you trying to examine a microdrive cartridge with Cartridge Doctor, or trying to make a working copy of Cartridge Doctor from the Master Cartridge? You say you have 2 copies from completely different sources. Are they ori...

The letter was dated 1st March. It asked if I wished to continue to receive the magazine, and if I was willing to accept the magazine as an email in the future. And I had to confirm that I wanted to be kept on the mailing list. It also said that I would not be contacted again unless I responded by m...

At the beginning of March, I got a letter from Sarah Gilpin. Asking if I wished to continue receiving the magazine.

Did anyone else get the same letter?

It mentions the General Data Protection Regulation. So I assume that Quanta is not officially dead yet.

I've been looking some more into this. I'm pretty sure that the time packet make it all the way to to the remote QL (client). I think the problem is that the time packet has a CHR$(10) right at the start. If I create a text file on the server QL (Q68) that starts with CHR$(10). I have problems readi...

Hi all, I am not sure that is the right thread to post it but... Ill do... :) My Q68 is part of a bigger Lan and it act as a bridge for 2 QL, I mean: " QL NET 1 ----> Q68 (Net 2) ----> QL Net 3" I share the resources of the 2 QL to the other Component of the Lan (PC running SMSQE/emulator...

Sometimes, apparently, problems need to sink in deeply for a while until they collide with something else in my memory that happens to be the solution. Same case here, I totally forgot about NASERVE until a small LED went blinking in my brain: With regards to the MEM device and security concerns (o...

You might like to try to see if the Q68's I2C driver can be accessed over the QL Network. You could then read the Q68's backup clock. I think the example in the Q68 I2C manual will read the clock as four bytes into a string (If I remember correctly the bytes are in the 'wrong' order (little endian)....

FSERVE on the Q68 should just strip the n2_ bit off then try to open the tcp_ channel on the Q68, which is known to work. I'm a bit tied up at the moment to try to replicate it. And the last time I tried to get my QL's to work on the QL network it was a bit of a disaster. I also don't have a land li...

I'm not too sure about this. But I think when the QL goes busy, It expects the sender to stop immediately. If any more data arrives, you get problems. I don't know if your USB to serial adaptor has any kind of congifuration program. But if it does, look for something that stops transmission as soon ...
