Hi lliont, great!
This is close to a GoldCard (2 MB, 16 MHz processor) and also has the additions of the improved ULA, VGA output, MC68H001 at 15Mhz and QL-SD.
By the way, could your "ZX8301 ULA and more" run SMSQ/E?

Re: Software updates
It is strictly required to keep the containers files for native hardware unfragmented, while the QXL (and the other emulators) support fragmented container files. It is extremely important to distinguish this difference. Therefore I picked the term QLWA, which was established for the corresponding ...

Re: Software updates
It's great that SMSQE is still maintained. Many thanks to everyone involved in the project. I have installed SMSQE on my systems (QPC2, Q68, Q-emuLator, SGC-QLSD) and everything is working correctly. PS: Regarding the name of the default containers in win1_, it seems more comfortable to me that it b...

Re: Using the QIMSI-QL Link
Jan, Peter, thanks once again for the responses and support for this QIMSI feature. QIMSI's serial port has only minimal buffering so it's very likely that wrongly connecting pins 2 and 3 will fry your QIMSI, especially with PC ports which use 'real' RS-232 signal levels of +12 and -12 volts (unlike...

Re: Using the QIMSI-QL Link
Hello, some questions:
Could someone post a photo of what the serial output connection from QIMSI would look like?
What type of connector could be used on the QIMSI side?
Greetings!
PD:
Peter, Jan, ... thanks so much for that development. It is a very interesting complement to QIMSI.

Re: Another small tribute for the 40th Anniversary of the Sinclair QL: Interacting with an AI from a QL.
Yes, the methods and data structures needed to interact with the QLUB adapter are fairly well documented within the Sendfile_MQ Basic application, although if you're needing to better understand the NET Protocol itself, it may be lacking and a more full understanding of the Sinclair Network might b...

Re: Another small tribute for the 40th Anniversary of the Sinclair QL: Interacting with an AI from a QL.
Couldn't there be in theory a PI or other small board function in this way where the QL & SMSQ/E are the front end, connected to a more powerful unit doing the work in the background. Yes, a PI or a mini PC would be an ideal backend for that background work, but a fast connection between the QD...

Re: Another small tribute for the 40th Anniversary of the Sinclair QL: Interacting with an AI from a QL.
Hi Martin, at some point I would like to rewrite this application using QLNET instead of RS232, it would be a nice use case for QLNET. But first I need to better understand the QLNET protocol. I'll start by studying the SendFileMQ_bas code. Would that be a good start?

Re: QL replica
The Qzero has dual SDRAM onboard, allowing more than 100% speed increase in 1024x768 highcolor mode over the Q68. A new Q68 could re-use this hardware, either by Qzero as a module (faster development) or an all-in-one PCB (cheaper). I diverted to the QIMSI project for a while. But if interest in th...

Another small tribute for the 40th Anniversary of the Sinclair QL: Interacting with an AI from a QL.
In commemoration of the 40th anniversary of the Sinclair QL, I have been working on a small project: a program in SuperBASIC that allows basic interaction with OpenAI's artificial intelligence. I've called it QChatAI. The idea behind this project is simple: I wanted to explore how a classic technolo...
