The Altera chips, I fitted on the latest QXL boards are capable of running at 50Mhz clock speed, which in the 68040 is 25Mhz or half the QXL board clock speed. Interestingly enough, if a 68060...

Re: Microdrive/vDrive woes

Hi, The expansion expects 128K on the QL motherboard and the 512K ram expansion adds to the internal 129K ram, giving 640K. The onboard 512K will clash with the 521K ram expansion. To use the ram expansion, the 41256 ram chips may have be replaced by 4164 ram chips to give 128K plus the 512K ram exp...

Re: Q-emulator on PPC Mac and OS X 10.5?

Hi Mark, Thank you for the Mac files, which saves me a bit of learning on the Mac OS X system, as the syxtem is so secure it is refusing connection to web sites. I will use a USB Pen drive to transfer the files. I have no problem using QDOS Classic, I used to supply it with the Q60 computers I used ...

Re: Q-emulator on PPC Mac and OS X 10.5?

Hi,

I have re-installed OS-X 10.5 and performed all the updates.

I downloaded the QemuLatorPPC.sit file with the Mac Mini G4, but there does seem to be anything to decompresx the file, the Mac Stuffit application seems to available.

I will maybe install Ubuntu 12.04 and see if that is any better.

Re: QDOS4Amiga on Amiga 600

The PiStorm is an interface board that connects a Raspberry Pi (Zero 2W) to the cpu socket of an Amiga. The Pi then runs a 68K emulator to simulate the CPU. It does more than that since it also provide extra memory, hard disk space, external HDMI graphics, and wifi. Thank you for explaining this. I...

Re: QDOS4Amiga on Amiga 600

Hi Mark,

If the A600 is fitted with a PI Storm, or does the emulator need a real CPU?

Re: Q-emulator on PPC Mac and OS X 10.5?

Hi, I have aquired a very cheap Mac Mini G4, 512Mb, I upgraded it to 1Gb ram, with some spare DDR ram I had. It came with OSX 10.5 DVD, though not much to do with it... I also have a OSX 10.4 DVD from an old Mac I disposed of, faulty motherboard. I tried using MorphOS on the Mac Mini, which works gr...

Hi, Interesting article, it implies that the Amiga would of killed off Apple, but due to books I have read about Commodore, it seems that Jack Tramiel had the chance to buy Apple, but due mistake on his part did not swallow up the small Apple company. Clearly a missed chance. Also looking at books a...
