Re: Most probably the smallest "QL" ever!

The topic here seems "the smallest PC ever".
Obviously every Linux/Android/Windows box can run an emulator.
What is QL specific about all these boxes? We could as well search for the smallest Amiga, Atari 400 or ZX81.

Was there any QL compatible hardware mentioned at all?

This one made me smile. Always thought the original QL also needed an external display ;)

Re: RTC Query

If you simply want an NTP client for the Q68, there's a tiny one here: https://github.com/tofro/Q68NTP Cool. Which network driver do you use? Obviously won't help anyone who wants to set their QL clock :) Which brings up the QL ethernet question again - with a CP2200 the Q68 stuff could be mostly r...

Re: QIMSI

Indeed. I have been using that one for a long time, until I moved all my QLs to SMSQ/E. It basically behaves the same as the history device in the newer OS (some marginal differences that you need to get used to). Recommended. These are indeed "must haves" for non-SMS systems, as long as ...

Re: RTC Query

Here's a link to such an adapter kit: https://www.horter-shop.de/de/i2c-pc-adapter/41-bausatz-i2c-rs232-koppler-4260404260547.html (Note I haven't tried wether that works with the QL, but don' see much reason why it shouldn't. These things seem to be doing the level shifting and clock generation, t...

Re: QIMSI

I think it's some sort of confusion here. The driver FSH (which includes PTH in it's installation kit) is the one that has a built-in commandline history No thanks. I do not want a different, Forth programmable commandline interface. Just saw the chance for an alternative history for the normal QDO...

Re: QIMSI

https://dilwyn.qlforum.co.uk/tk/history127.zip I know that one of course (and it has problems). Instead I asked for a link to PTH which allegedly has built-in commandline history, according to ql_freak. Another good extension is ALIAS by Simon Goodwin, in the Volume A DIY Toolkit Series. https://di...

Re: QIMSI

Alos look at PTH, which is a Path search extension, all very flexible. This is IMHO the BEST file utility ever. It's one of the first things I install. Would be a good improvement for QPC2. HISTORY-Device (first implemented by Boris Jakubith, Berlin), Named Pipes (first implementation I know of: Er...

It emulates a Q68 instead of the original QL. Which gives it highcolor graphics and the capability to run SMSQ/E. Which I find very cool.
