Most likely the PSU. The caps go in them, as do the opto isolators. Exxos have a recapping kit available.

You could potentially create a "just-in-time" compiler which interprets the 68000 op codes and translates them into the native processor instructions and replaces calls the hardware or ROM with function calls. Similar to the way Java VMs speed up bytecode. This would generally be for allow...

Good afternoon.

The QL-SDv2 isn't yet available.

If you are trying to replace the Microdrive function then a vDriveQL with the addition of a vMap unit is what you will need.

Only micro ones.

I cancelled the funding, due having to over 10 months after paying for the computer. Not a good way to do business. Ah, well, that's the point, you're not "buying" the computer, you are investing in a proposal for a project with the contracted reward for the investment at the end of its t...

When I get mine I'll try to do a review of it running the QL core, if it's of interest to anyone. It's not due til August 2021, so don't hold your breaths though :) (and KS1 had loads of delays, so who knows when KS2 will actually deliver) Most of those delays were design problems with the keyboard...

At the end of the ARTice MANUAL_doc it says: Converting to floppy disc use. The simplest method ia to use the toolkit command FLP_USE MDV to emulate microdrives or to use a convert utility which converts every occurrence of MDV to FLP etc. A conversion to flp or fdk on 3.5 in disc will be available ...

It probably just overclocked the CPU a bit.

Indeed, you can never rely upon the mains frequency, which is at best approximate, so no-one does.

Ah, I didn't realise that above 128K it was uncontended, I thought that it was all compromised by video access.
