The Sinclair QL Forum

This circuit board isn't for the QL (it's a programmable Spectrum Joystick Interface board by Downsway). I can't identify the PiHER 8C2K2 chip. Most I could track down was a PiHER 8C22K and 8C220K chips and still no clear description (maybe a microswitch?)

All my zines and stuff are on my website: http://swensont.epizy.com/ Tim Interesting comparison of Abacus to VisiCalc in issue #8 (you had a typo above with issue 38). The QL software bundle was pretty well developed. It's interesting because the other 16-bit computers at that time came with almost...

Saw this on the news:


Here is their site...revolutionary I suppose :-/

These came from AliExpress. Used them as filler to get my order to $10 for free shipping...they only cost like $1.65 for the pair. HDMI-to-RJ45.jpg Just tried them and they worked with a homemade 50 foot cable to a different room with projector about 35 feet away. Pretty cool and instant, any-length...

This looks fun. I saw game-play from another platform and it does look challenging. Will try it out!

Is there a site for SMSQzine? I found a few issues on the internet archive.

I have been playing with Abacus and Easel and I must say, even on a 128K machine with microdrives, it works pretty seamlessly. I can only imagine what 512K of memory, Choice, and a RAM disk would do the the experience. I guess I was ignorant of spreadsheets in the early 90s as I might have used Abac...

Does Abacus support the modulus operator? It has an int function and supports exponentiation both using ^ and the exp() function. I've tried all sorts of characters to no avail. I currently am computing a - int(a/n)*n, to compute a mod n, but it would be nicer to simplify it.

So a small update on this. Just spoke to a colleague (a bit older than me) who, in the day, worked for Coleco helping design their version of the stringy floppy. He's going to look into some things I asked him regarding my plan and we may get together to test some things using my Spectrum and the sp...

The AliExpress link is to the user order page, not to a listing for switches. Can you post the correct switch?
