Re: QL <-> MOXA Nport 5150A and Internet! Surf on Telnet connected BBS

Hi,

All that is required is connect the QL to a Linux computer by serial ports, running TCPSER which configures the Serial port as a Hayes Modem.

Or use a WIFI modem with a QL serial lead, all works perfectly.

Re: Can a QL do donkey Kong sounds?

You could look at this web site:https://mrcook.uk/arcade-game-source-code


The challenge would be to convert the Z80, 6502 or other CPU to 68000. Then make run on a QL.

Re: Most probably the smallest "QL" ever!

Hi,

This is similar to an Intel Compute Stick, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Compute_Stick

Windows 10 could be removed and Linux put on with the same functionality as Windows, except runs faster.

I just thought everyone would be interested in the other extensions.
