Re: Announcing availability of a QLNET driver for the Q68 (ND-Q68)

Hi Dilwyn! Well done Martyn. I'll be pleased to add it when you're ready. As soon as you like, thank you! The zip-file attachment to the original post is all that is needed, perhaps with a 2-liner comment: "ND-Q68 is a new driver for the Q68 to allow networking with QL-compatible devices over t...

Announcing availability of a QLNET driver for the Q68 (ND-Q68)

On this Father's Day (in the UK, anyway), I am pleased to announce the availability of driver software that allows you to finally network the Q68 with other QL-compatible machines via the standard QLNET ports. The ready-to-run driver as well as the source code are attached below and I'll call upon D...

Re: SCREEN1 = SYSVAR @ JSROM

Hi Thomas! All procs seem reasonable fast, except BLOCK that I also use for scan line fill, circle and ellipse. It takes these lines below, is simple but quite slow (as it goes by pixels), actually slower than QDOS. I wish to make it a lot faster? When I last researched the topic of 'block' fill (e....

Re: SuperCharge Decompiler

Dear Martin

Just in case I forget to say it, your development of the Decompiler remains a truly valuable project for us and I for one am grateful for your on-going efforts!

Re: Q68 I2C addresses.

Hi Peter My hope was that bitbanging I2C is simple enough, so people could live without me providing example code. It seems not so - and I stille have providing I2C example code on my to-do-list. Perhaps we can help here, with just a teensy-bit of guidance from your (busy) self! a) Could the Minerva...

Re: Q68 I2C addresses.

Hi Whopper and team Whilst Peter will certainly be the authority here, I do recall reading that the Q68 I2C implementation is 'Minerva compatible', so might assume that using the Minerva's I2C published source code would provide a suitable set of primitives to base any further work - once the port a...

Re: New Minerva ROMs for Q68

Hi Derek! Would there be any network increase connecting 2 Q68 via the Network connection. Not as the driver stands, but it is a trivial matter to reconfigure the Timing Constants (a less-well known feature of the later TK2 Net driver) after loading/initialising the driver to reduce all the HW time-...

Meanwhile, the Minerva version of the QLNET driver for Q68 (ND-Q68) is almost ready for release ...

Re: New Minerva ROMs for Q68

Hello Jan! I've been playing with your Minerva4Q68 recently as we continue to develop the QL-Net driver for the Q68 (ND-Q68, already working under SMSQ) and wondered if you felt up to the task of re-assembling your patched Minerva to incorporate the 'I/O Fix' that Marcel added to Min v1.98. Effectiv...
