Re: Jumping mouse cursor

Problem solved. It was the Microsoft Mouse 2.1A not being completely compatible. I obtained a Microsoft Mouse 2.0A, and that works fine.

Voyage of the Beano and Tetroid with CF Card

I recently purchased a Tetroid Card which includes a Compact Flash Interface and Minerva and Qubide etc. I wanted to get "The Voyage of the Beano" adventure to run from the CF card, which I eventually did, but it wasn't easy and the documentation I found for this kind of thing was lacking,...

Steve Davis Snooker

Hi folks. I took a risk and purchased a lot of 26 MDV cartridges on ebay. One of them was Steve Davis Snooker by CDS software. It seems the file P5 is bad. Does anyone have a copy of that file they can post for me? The other files are intact.

Re: vDrive QL Menu

Here's the next iteration. All the GOTOs and duplicate lines are gone. The list of banks are loaded into an array from DATA lines. The menu can handle up to 39 entries split into 3 columns. The next task is to stop the menu from re-drawing everything when a cursor key is pressed, but only update the...
