Re: SGC successor brainstorming
Out of curiosity, two questions: . Will it have a high speed rs-232 output (qimsi style "ser4")? (I believe I understood that yes). Yes. And it has higher throughput now, if used directly with Minerva or SMSQ/E on the accellerated CPU. - If it has video, memory, keyboard/mouse... Will it ...

Re: FPGA replacment for the ZX8301 ULA and more
It also needs two wires and a small board over zx8301 socket but it is so much easier to install and no need for 3d printed plate for the ports. One or two wires are not too bad. For QIMSI I also needed one for the QL speaker. I had the luck that one ROM port pin has no dedicated funktion, so the c...

Re: SGC successor brainstorming
Hi folks, it's been a long while since we discussed this, but it was not forgotten... [*]I could completely live without microdrives, with the limited supply of cartridges, there's not much point in them. SD is a perfect replacement [*]No need to have much on-board ROM other than a small loader - Lo...

Re: Q68 direct sector access
I keep on moaning at Wolfgang that the Q68 Config defaults are not as agreed. His settings are terrible, especially as the WIN8 configuration mechanism won't even work on some cards with the "fast" setting. Also the french keyboard is super weird to get reconfiguration started. And the lo...

Re: Q68 direct sector access
Ive now switched off fast access. That might have had something to do with it? Yes! That overclocks the SD card and is an experimental feature that comes with a huge warning! It should never have become default on the SMSQ/E website, I keep warning people all the time. If you have that switched on,...
