Hi Andrew, If you look in the Easyptr msnual, at page 65, it detsils the OUTL command, which is an extension located in one of following extensions: easyptr_cde easyptrr_cde ptrmen_cde ptrmenr_cde Load in any one these extensions and the demo programme should run. Thank you Derek ! I started to rea...

I am trying to get a grip on EasyPtr and I have a problem: I am using EasyPtr4 - I have PEX installed and I LRUN the boot (had to change easyext_cde in easyext_bin to run the boot) When I try to run demo_ptrdemo_bas i get "At line 110:2 unknown procedure" 110 WMON 4: OUTL: OUTL#1 So OUTL i...

A new version of PI Cole (hopefully all bugs are fixed) Changes: - fixed the bug found by Marcel - now you can select actions and objects also with SPACE - added TK2_EXT in boot file - changed the game to run from mdv3 to mdv6 so it can be run on vDriveQL without vMap - fixed a few typos in the manu...

Hi Alan

I have one of these and it works: http://trolsoft.ru/en/sch/mouse-ps2-to-serial
The schematics and the source code is on Github (see link at bottom of the page)

Also on Github there is another project: https://github.com/Lameguy64/ps2serial

What Psion versions are you using ?
I use XChange 3.90 with GC and SGC and have not encountered any issues.

All right, but how do you do with files larger than 127Kb ? In QL www archives there are a lot of them. I have never encountered a file larger than 127k. Archives, yes, but not single file. So I just unzipped them and copied files to mdv. It's time consuming, though. The QL file server seems a bett...

I have a QUBIDE with DOM card (no floppy disk) and I use vDriveQL to transfer files from PC to QL or from QL to QL. On PC I use QEmulator to write the data to the mdv images, then copy those images to vDriveQL Another solution: Build Jason's Sinclair QL Network File Server: https://github.com/dandel...

I would keep the best example of each Sinclair and sell the rest. But that's me. I had Sinclairs when I was young and they bring back nice memories. I never had Amigas, Atari STs or BBCs. So my advice would be: keep the brand that brings you the best memories. (And if you decide to sell any Sinclair...

Yes (in monitor mode)

I have to type lrun mdv3_boot w/o SD cart in vDrive to get Toolkit running.. if that is what you mean by initialize. Then I have access to those features. No, I mean to enable the vDrive you have to LBYTES a _bin file that comes with them. Do you also do that on every fresh boot? That I have no ide...
