Re: QubATA without burning ROM?

Hi, Not sure you mean the Monitor to check the address. The ram driver code has config blocks in the code, that define the ROM base address and the device name. You need to you use Menuconfig to to alter base address. If this is not done the base address of the Ram code is the romport C000. You need...

Re: ql+ prototype rebuild ? possible

Hi,

Why not run sQ68Lay on the RPI, you will have to compile the emulator, but XorA has made the compilation really easy.

Re: ql+ prototype rebuild ? possible

Hi,

If you load in JAVA SMSQmulator can run.

sQLux runs quite well on a Pi4, But needs SDL2 development libraries to compile it.

I have just aquired a cheap Pi400 and this all work great.

Re: ql+ prototype rebuild ? possible

Hi,

You try:
https://codeberg.org/xelalexv/spectratur

Which allow a QL to use a PS/2 or USB keyboard.

Also look at thread:
viewtopic.php?t=4012

But I am not sure this is what you want.

Tynemouth Software did a QL USB keyboard interface

Re: SMSQ/2 on Atari

I do not the make up of the SMS2 Cartridge, but I was told there was some custom electronics in the cartridge. I have some " Pure Cartridges" with SMSQ/EVLevel E Driver code, which boots into standard Atari Cartridge drive. SMSQ/E will start the Atari in a QL mode in Atari mono Hi Rez mode...

Re: SMSQ/2 on Atari

Hi, Here is an Atari ST Cartridge that I have been given back, that connects to the Cartridge port of an Atari ST and boots into SMS2. The 17" TFT VGA monitor uses a ST to VGA adapter sold by Cool Novities. The Atari boots in to Mono high resolution mode: IMG_20240325_143730398.jpg IMG_20240325...

Re: Q-Liberator 3.46

Hi

I think you miss the point. I agree with the fact that Toolkit 2 is a necessity and should also be loaded all the time.

Re: Q-Liberator 3.46

Hi, I do not need to test for Toolkit 2, as I know what is installed on the machine. Surely, for compatibility, the presence of Toolkit 2 can be ignored. I am not sure that using ENV is a good idea, as many users may not know how to use it. What are the Qliberator environmental variables? How does t...

Re: Q40/Q60

There is a problem with the Q60 VGA video output, which does not give a clear video output in 1024x512 HiColour mode, on a modern LCD monitor This is such a tragedy.
