Re: Is QDOS relocatable
Video is one problem, but there is also keyboard access and stuff... of course there is the QDOS classic source code that could be changed for different I/O hardware if not aiming at register compatibility. Yes since the source is available I was thinking of hacking, I mean adapting it for a serial...

Re: Is QDOS relocatable
Depends on why you ask. The code itself is probably pretty position independent, but some stuff like QL vectors have to be at certain positions by definition. I have some components lying around like a 68010 on a board with a couple of MMUs and other stuff so thinking about putting them all togethe...

Is QDOS relocatable
Can the ROM code be put anywhere in memory? My ROMs have addresses of 0000 and 8000 written on them implying the code is not relocatable but could it be made relocatable?

Re: Life Saver
We have "magnetic" therapy for all known disases and it also helps save fuelin your car too. (It doesn't - at least not according to actual experiments.) Here is a prime example of quackery being lumped in with real working technology. Great for the drug companies so the waters stay muddy...

Re: Life Saver
I often think of the human body like a finely tuned vehicle - it's all good to start with, but you start to get corrosion, rust and parts begin to wear. The interesting thing here is that the body does rebuild itself to a good extent - the number of friends who've had 'life changing' injuries on th...

Life Saver
This is for all you old sick guys out there where I have been. I have been developing Electrotherapy devices for the last 10 years and it has been a real eye opener. The idea that old age brings sickness and pain is a myth that needs to be busted. Using electrotherapy devices I started out eliminati...

Re: RGB to VGA
Ok I will shut and go away. I did search but didn't see that thread. There were some recent discussions about old monitors going bust and not being able to use VGA hence my post when I came across the board. I suppose it is a lot cheaper now for a while until VGA starts going obsolete.

RGB to VGA
I came across this device that can solve the QL video output problem for modern monitors I think. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Arcade-Game-R-CGA-EGA-YUV-to-VGA-H-Video-Converter-Board-H9800-S820-D-X/202842691198?_trkparms=aid%3D555018%26algo%3DPL.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D40733%26meid%3D58fce0bb363544a780a...

Re: Replacements for Zx8301 / Zx 8302 / IPC
Sorry my memory fails me I thought PS/2 was just an asynchronous serial connection. This page describes it well for keyboard & mouse as a clock and data system at 10 to 16K Hz clock rate.Pr0f wrote:I could try
