The Sinclair QL Forum

Hi everyone!

Just to say that, after careful consideration, I have now gone ahead and booked my flight for the Dormagen QL event in May

Looking forward to seeing some of you there...

Hi Peter

To be fair, the UK keyboard was already pretty much based on the US layout - something I was surprised to discover when developing the extra language maps for the Qbase

Hi Per I don't have the answer, but wondered if you were trying to do what I wanted-to recently, i.e. to change the embedded Volume name of a WIN Container file - you'd expect to be able to set the Volume name at point of FORMAT, but you seem only able to set the volume size in the format string and...

Hi again!

Yes please. How much for 4 and shipping to the UK?

HI BSRJ! Thanks - all good info, though I was actually looking for the Monitor pinout to know 'where' the Intensity bit is output (got that now, too!) Meanwhile, I've finally fitted the replacement PSU and checked all good power to the 2x boards, but the system doesn't come up (yet.) ICs get warm to...

Still missing a User Manual and any low level Technical documentation on the Thor-16.

Will keep on looking

I'm almost ready to fire it up forget first time - hoping the significant corr...

Thanks for the tip, Derek. Yes, had looked there as well - all Thor-1/20/21 related materials.

I'll just probe the outp...

Just bumping this request for any info we might have about the Monitor pinout for the Thor XVI?

Hi everyone! Last November, I was lucky enough to purchase a Thor XVI that had been stuck in a garage for a few years (thanks SNG!) and missing it's original PSU - no FDD nor SCSI HDD. I'm looking for a User Manual and any technical/schematic documentation, having trawled and found all the usual ava...
