The Sinclair QL Forum

I've run a range of much less interesting tests to check read/ write/ dir on different drives, copy files between combinations of floppy drive, Microdrive, and win1_ device, plus check TK2 functionality. All seems in order, except one strangeness I've found is that using flp2_ to format a floppy di...

Following my suggestions, Vitaliy is going to try to see if he can get the v2 ROM (and GAL code) for the QubIDE to run, as well as the v2 Trump Card ROM. There is a v2 Trump Card ROM on Dilwyn's site, but it has a lower version of Toolkit II than the v1.37 Trump Card - so we will need to try and ex...

I dispatched all Beta QL interfaces today.
Im sorry, bacause of problems with new floppy disk chips ( WD1772 is expensive now ), I inserted used chips ( with scratches ) but in working order.

A 5v one would be great, I'll probably take a 9v and 5v once you hit proper production. Is it easy to write the firmware using the blaster? I've never used one before! Yes, it easy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzRLirqt_wI Please see from 3:00 In this video full version of Quartus, but you need ...

Thank you for announcement, Rich. Wow!!! Simply incredible!!! I'm offering to test it and buy it one ;) Great that have his internal memory + TK2, great job!!! Soon we will see a clone of the Super Gold Card + Qubide too? ;) The part of Trump card has 768Kb. Really this board has 1Mb, but I dont kn...
