Giorgio, the file backup date is not used by the system. Various backup programs do, however, use it for the intended purpose (compare modification date with backup date and decide a file does not need to be part of an incremental backup in case the former is earlier than the latter). Any change in ...

Dilwyn, working with FMAKE_DIR or MAKE_DIR is a bit of a dangerous path. It will work in theory, but you will run into hard to fix issues in case the driver has to move files into that newly made directory: win1_LETTER_TXT exists, win1_LETTER_DOC exists you try to find out whether the directory win1...

The behavior you see has to do with the fact that opening a directory on a valid and working device may not fail on QDOS for reasons other than the file exists and is no directory (That has to do with the fact that directories were a late addition to the OS and also somewhat with the way the default...

I do notice from your screenshot that you are using one of the finest QL Toolkits around, DJToolkit. I wrote that one! So what does DJ stand for? I had up to now assumed it was Dilwyn's initials :-D Because Dilwyn used to sell this in the past (probably because no one wants to deal with a Scotsman ...

Interesting idea, Per!

Very unfortunately, however, this will not compile using Turbo - This doesn't allow expressions in DATA statements.
A shame there isn't anything like a LABEL statement in S*BASIC.

Hi It is a standard one fixed to the heatsink but would this of caused any more damage elsewhere if it's putting out too much volts. If you really had 7.5 Volts on the 5V rail, this has probably caused a lot more damage in all places - Some of the more robust chips might survive this for a few minu...

The uQLx versions I built years ago for the Raspberry Pi and the Efika actually had a working TCP/IP driver (although I never tested it beyond some basic packet transfer tests, and definitely not against your driver, which didn't exist at that time). That means: It should in principle be working, as...

Bah. And I was typing up a long answer quoting the exact same sentence of the book.

Thanks Andrew!

This is not so easy to answer - it depends a lot on the "stiffness" of your power supply under load. Power supplies are typically reted at a voltage that can be maintained under a typical load - Note, what you would measure on an unknown PSU is the open circuit voltage which is typically m...

That's simple. It's not implemented.
