Re: Announcing availability of a QLNET driver for the Q68 (ND-Q68)

Hi all, I am not sure that is the right thread to post it but... Ill do... :) My Q68 is part of a bigger Lan and it act as a bridge for 2 QL, I mean: " QL NET 1 ----> Q68 (Net 2) ----> QL Net 3" I share the resources of the 2 QL to the other Component of the Lan (PC running SMSQE/emulator...

Re: The MEM Device

Sometimes, apparently, problems need to sink in deeply for a while until they collide with something else in my memory that happens to be the solution. Same case here, I totally forgot about NASERVE until a small LED went blinking in my brain: With regards to the MEM device and security concerns (o...

Re: Announcing availability of a QLNET driver for the Q68 (ND-Q68)

You might like to try to see if the Q68's I2C driver can be accessed over the QL Network. You could then read the Q68's backup clock. I think the example in the Q68 I2C manual will read the clock as four bytes into a string (If I remember correctly the bytes are in the 'wrong' order (little endian)....

Re: Announcing availability of a QLNET driver for the Q68 (ND-Q68)

FSERVE on the Q68 should just strip the n2_ bit off then try to open the tcp_ channel on the Q68, which is known to work. I'm a bit tied up at the moment to try to replicate it. And the last time I tried to get my QL's to work on the QL network it was a bit of a disaster. I also don't have a land li...

Re: Serial QPC to QL

I'm not too sure about this. But I think when the QL goes busy, It expects the sender to stop immediately. If any more data arrives, you get problems. I don't know if your USB to serial adaptor has any kind of congifuration program. But if it does, look for something that stops transmission as soon ...

Re: Serial QPC to QL

You might want to try lowering the baud rate to 300. So no handshaking should be needed. And at the QL end use COPY ser1 TO con

That will show you the data without SuperBASIC having to convert it to tokenized form.

Re: Fleet Tactical Command II. Data Print Utility

Trying to recreate the the Data Print Utility is a bit of an offshoot from another project, That is to recreate the source code for FTCII. I know that I can't publicly release it as it's still classed as commercial. Your cracked version is almost certainly the demo version, as that has all the save ...

Re: Fleet Tactical Command II. Data Print Utility

The Data Print Utility was sold separately from FTCII. I don't know if you sold this along side FTCII.

Fleet Tactical Command II. Data Print Utility

According to the Ql Wiki https://qlwiki.qlforum.co.uk/doku.php?id=qlwiki:ftcii_data_print_utility , This is a lost program. I'm tinkering with the idea of trying to recreate it, or something like it. Does anyone remember using this program. Did it just display ship data, or did it do anything fancy,...

Re: Piggyback 4164 to Diagnose Memory Fault

I know I keep harping on about that solder blob on the 2nd pin in your picture. I had a quick look at the circuit diagram (issue 5). And I think that is pin 7 of the RAM chip, and that large track is most likely either ground, or 5Volts. Pin 7 is the DA1 line which goes to IC19, (which you've been l...
