Re: SMSQ/E Colour issue!
The Jan Jones book (Quanta issue) does not fully agree with your picture. Stipple 0: Top Right is contrast Stipple 1: Bottom two are contrast Stipple 2: two Right-hand are contrast Stipple 3: Top Right & Bottom Left are contrast So Jan Jones is right and the QL manual is wrong, at least with QD...

Re: SMSQ/E Colour issue!
Actually, both QDOS and Minerva have stipple patterns 2 and 3 reversed compared to the figures shown in the QL Manual (and QPC Concepts guide) under 'colour'. In stipples 1 and 2, the white pixels are background colour and grey pixels are contrast colour. But in stipples 2 and 3 they are reversed. U...

Re: ntsc sinclar ql schematics ??
Not even $ instead of £? The ASCII code 96 for £ was something specific for British-made computers. Apart from Sinclair, only the Acorn machines used it as far as I know. On standard ASCII it should display as backquote (`). So the backquote sign is not available in QL ASCII. Back in the '80s there...

Re: QLTerminal v2.35 with TheOldNet WiFi v4
QLTerm does not know anything about Hayes commands and responses. It just forwards them to the display and from the keyboard. So if you set the baud rate in QLTerm to 9600, it will stay at 9600 regardless of what the modem reports. Of course, your modem should not change the baud rate once connected...

Re: QLTERM - XMODEM and ΣFP QL ROM bug (?) - Official Sinclair Greek QL ROM implementation
If you don't have a Moxa but do have a PC you can use the telnet.bas program from my QLTerm repository (https://github.com/janbredenbeek/QLTerm) on any TCP/IP-enabled emulator such as QPC, Qemulator, sQLux or SMSQmulator. On SMSQ/E you'll even have 8 colours available. I'm not sure why XMODEM transf...

Re: Run a SuperBasic program from Assembler?
It's different depending on which system you're running. QDOS: No easy way, you could try stuffing an LRUN command into channel 0's keyboard queue (this of course only works when SB is idle since it cannot multitask). Minerva: Start an instance of MultiBASIC. The details are in the Minerva manual. S...

Re: QDOS on Wii walkthrough
I had hoped to also show QPC1 running on top of DOSBox_Wii. However QPC exits at initialisation with the error /INT15 fehlt oder ist <1 MB! which is a shame. A quick web search shows that early DOSBox versions had issues with INT15. I remember that QPC1 is a bit picky about the memory configuration...

Re: Minerva4Q68
After the upgrade from v1.00 to v1.05 I got random crashes when loading Minerva from the FAT partition, which led to the discovery of the bug in the FAT driver. It seems to be connected to the 40MHz SDHC clock option (which I had disabled in the SMSQ/E configuration). SMSQ/E versions before 3.37 ap...

Re: Minerva4Q68
I have loaded Q68 v1.02 FPGA code onto a Batch 4 Q68, and copied a Q68_ROM.SYS, with integrated Toolkit 2, to a freshly formatted SD Card with a FAT32 partition. The Q68 boots up to Minerva and links Toolkit 2, faster than my monitor startup. The system seems to work in 512x256, 1024x768, also load...
