Re: 68K/OS "ROM" based disk attempt

Would doing a cartridge dump using FORMAT RAM1_MDV1 be possible? (assumes at least map is same as normal QL mdv.)

Re: Identity of PiHER 8C2K2 chip?

Surely nothing more than DIP resistor packs (pull ups?).

Re: CST Ram Plus eproms - CST QDisc v4 issue

I would at least try a logic probe on eprom select (pin 22 /OE) to see if after a reset it is at least polled to help start narrowing problem down.

Edit: removed text about jumbled roms; V4 is jumbled

Re: Announcing the new "Gold Card" - QIMSI Gold

Surely only by having a job running on BBQL to periodically copy 32K screen dump through FIFOs to QIMSI Gold :lol:

One of them is leading QLNET and one is a "detection" pin.
The other two could be used with such a connector board. Possibly one as R/W and one as a chip select.
Gets even better :D

Re: FPGA replacment for the ZX8301 ULA and more

Oh I hadn't noticed the 68HC001FN16, so in the 8 bit data bus mode it provides the all important A0 for the QL (IIRC Gold card ingot has to deal with that).

Re: Announcing the new "Gold Card" - QIMSI Gold

Wow, that looks great. Like a QL compute module (conjures up a few ideas) :)

An simple internal DIN41612 to ROMport connector board might be useful :idea:
