Re: Launchpad v2.12 Update
Have been looking at this today without yet being able to resolve the issue. The Jobs menu is populated by sending the output of the QLiberator QJ command to a pipe channel and reading back the results, using Q_PIPE . Somewhere amid this, things just stop for no obvious reason. Interestingly, it doe...

Re: Lunar lander and UDG generally
I don't want to overcomplicate things, but I wrote an article on how the font data structures work (in broad terms) which might help to explain why PEEKing and POKEing font addresses is a bad idea. It's a bit technical but tries to explain things as it goes along. If it helps explains things, I migh...

Re: TK2 and RAM disk
Here's the RAMPRT section fo the QL manual. Might add this to my site for those who wish to use the RAMPRT part of QPAC2.
Note: warns against using this with SMSQ/E.

Re: TK2 and RAM disk
Many systems which came with Toolkit 2 also came with ramdisks e.g. floppy disc systems. So it made people think they were part of TK2. But as you've found, ramdiscs were never part of TK2 as such. There are two main types of ramdisc. 1. Static - these are formatted to a fixed capacity 2. Dynamic - ...

Re: QL2k speed change
The SpacePods MDV on the games page on my website is for the MIST FPGA system. If that's where you got it from, it's possible it might not work properly on QLay/QL2K anyway. The other version on my site is just two standard files, a boot and a _cde file, so can be used on most systems. (I've assumed...

Re: QL2k speed change
As I haven't had QL2K installed for some time, I reinstalled yesterday to see if I could find anything to help you. Not used it for a few years now. Initially, I couldn't get MDV drives to work at all - QL2K froze each time I did DIR MDV1_ . I later found it would only work if I had a maximum of one...

Re: QL2k speed change
I'm assuming you have been through the QL2K speed settings, using the FT_bas program supplied, and set the speed setting in the clock multiplier box in the startup dialogue of QL2K? Many QL games use the equivalent of the KEYROW command to read keyboard (to allow combination key presses), so there i...

Re: Most probably the smallest "QL" ever!
Hi, This is similar to an Intel Compute Stick, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Compute_Stick Windows 10 could be removed and Linux put on with the same functionality as Windows, except runs faster. I used to have an Intel Stick. It ran Windows 10 and QPC2 adequately for home use. Unfortunat...
