Re: Q68 direct sector access
Thanks, but its getting to the image file that is the problem. I'll check with Wolfgang when he's back. I'm all for QL side programming, but if all you want is to change is the volume name of a few images, why not use the hex editor on a PC? I dont see why Id want to do that considering the routine...

Re: Q68 direct sector access
Im trying to change the internal Qdos name of a QL hard drive. Use a hex editor to change the string at offset 6 in the image file. How does one do direct sector access on a Q68 QLWA virtual disk? It is probably not implemented yet. The best would be to ask Wolfgang on ql-users. Not a hardware issu...

Re: Q68 direct sector access
Moved to Software by order of Peter ;) Hi Per I don't have the answer, but wondered if you were trying to do what I wanted-to recently, i.e. to change the embedded Volume name of a WIN Container file - you'd expect to be able to set the Volume name at point of FORMAT, but you seem only able to set t...

Q68 direct sector access
Im trying to change the internal Qdos name of a QL hard drive. How does one do direct sector access on a Q68 QLWA virtual disk? On QPC2 et al Id do DIM sec$(512) ch = FOPEN('win1_*D2D') GET#ch\0, sec$ But I find neither a QLWA drive there nor a QWA partition table. Would it be a FAT32 partition tabl...

Re: PSION Series3 Pocket computer
Maybe, just maybe, 30 years ago I'd have been interested but apart from my QL (emulator), I have no interest in retro stuff thrse days. <> Nor me ;) I was just hoping it might interest a collector. After all this place is full of them. It might be of some use to someone who needs a PDA but wishes t...

Re: PSION Series3 Pocket computer
I see Im going to have to show a little more leg here: The PSION Series 3 (S3) is a hybrid PDA/computer. Powered by two AA batteries, which under normal condition should last for several months. In addition it uses two 3V button batteries (type 1620, not included), one for maintaining the informatio...

PSION Series3 Pocket computer
Could I interest anyone in buying my trusty PSION Series3 Pocket computer? Particularly anyone going to the German meeting in May, to save me the hassle of posting it etc. Details to follow if an interest is shown..
Re: PiStorm
My point is that MC68 CPUs arent being produced any more and as things look now, will forever be stuck at 60 to 80 MHz and be as rare as hen's teeth and cost too much. But say some chip manufacturer came up with a brand new, low-powered, 100% compatible MC68020 clone running at 300MHz for $20 apiece...
