The Sinclair QL Forum

regarding the rgb output , will that still be the same as our uk versions ? The RGB is, yes. The one small difference is that the US QL's (as well as some other regions) don't seem to give a color composite signal on pin 1. Instead, it just outputs 5 volts. You can grab the composite off of the MC1...

That I don't know yet...It'll be a few weeks before it gets here.

Finally found the time to order a nice D-Sub hood for my miniaturized version. Type Conec 16-001810E. It has an optional side cable exit, the cable relief for it should be filed off a little. With the circuit fitted, it looks like this: qlminivga_case.jpg And the completed QL to VGA adaptor cable: ...

I'd be interested in 4 to the US. Would love to see if my external drive would read better on both my QL and Spectrum.

Anyone who buys off of AliExpress ever go 5 or 6 pages deep and find $5 items for like over $1,000? What is going on there? I had to replace a mini AV-to-VGA converter that you can get for about $4, and I was trying to fit things into a "$10 and get free shipping" window and kept looking f...

I think that is the essential difference. Also the Amiga keyboard was more appreciated than the QL keyboard. I don't really like my Amiga 600 keyboard. The keys are so soft and mushy. Now true that the QL isn't better, though it is different. I think if the case design of the QL were more like the ...

Of course, you could start out with just a 68000 emulation and virtual RAM as a test-bed and build up from there. Yeah, my idea, back when I was hoping to get my hands on a Pi Zero 2W but got denied by the high prices due to the pandemic,was to initially just see if one could replace the 68008 with...

I got a couple of questions on my above GIF. It's just a mock-up of Workbench 2.1 running on an unexpanded QL. I'm running it in monochrome mode to make it look like the default Amiga OS, but in reality, it looks like this: WB21onQL.png You can try it for yourself. Here is a zip of the MDV image (wi...

I should finish my Amiga 600 PiStorm project. Lost interest when I couldn't find an affordable pi zero 2w during the pandemic. I should get one now and finish the project this summer.

I think that always depends on who the person is and what their motivation is. There is some insane stuff out there on retro platforms :-/
