The Sinclair QL Forum

Hi, I totally agree, the Q68, Qzero all are brilliantly designed. I realised this when I saw the Q40, and I went on to build the Q60. I maybe at the limit of my technical ability, I seem to blinded my technology and struggle with the design of FPGA. The Tang Nano 20K, seemed a good idea, for my own ...

HI Peter, I totally agree, I am totally sold on the Q68, which I use on a daily basis, all my QL work is done on the Q68, it is the most complete system. I thank you for designing it and I just hope my production of such a marvel, does not diminish your high standards. I may f wasted money on the Ta...

Hi,

The Thor Technical Manual was interesting to read, pity the
scanned pictures were not any better scanned.

Hi,

How do the programme loader S*BASIC lines get added to the programme being loaded?

All the large programmes I load are loaded within a second of pressing Enter key.

Hi,

The Tang Nano 20K development board, cost me £29, but the price has dropped to just above £23.

I am trying to learn FPGA Verilog programming, this seemed to be a good solution.

Like many retro systems, the prices they go for somewhat amazed me!

I have 2 Z88, which I have to upgrade, I will get them done and see if anyone want one.

Hi, The Toolkit 2 defaults usually to: DATA_USE "MDV2_" PROG_USE "MDV1_" This can be checked with: PRINT DATAD$ PRINT PROGD$ If there is no device entered on the command line, the Toolkit 2 default is used. This might explain the activity on MDV2_ Just change the DATAD and PROGD ...

Hi,

I have another little job to fit Rom and internal ram upgrades to 2 of my Z88s.

Hi, I think a good Small QL would be a Raspberry Pi running Raspberry Pi OS Lite, which does not have a Desktop. Just a console or command line terminal. Use sQLux, which does not need a GUI system running. Once sQLux is compiled and installed, executing the emulator will run at full screen. Works r...
