Re: Metacomco C and Fortan

I don't have Fortran, but should be able to sort out the cartridges for Metacomco C for you (plus a disk copy) :) Could you make an image of the Fortran cartridge please (and send me an email of the packaging if you have it). With cartridge plugged into the QL ROM slot, use SBYTES flp1_fortran_ROM,4...

Re: 20 Line Programming Challenge

A guess the animal program was even sold as a commercial title back in the day ! It was however, written in Archive BASIC - see http://www.rwapadventures.com/ql_wiki/index.php?title=ANIMAL&lang=en Now if only I had time to do some QL programming - I am sure we could manage a cut down space invad...

Re: Hi all from the Netherlands

I really want a Java emulator - it would be great to add to the QL Wiki the ability for people to try out each of the QL programs (maybe a time limited basis?)

Re: SinclairZX

If all else fails, to still ensure that they meet the deadline, they could always stick a huge chunk of ugly mis-shaped plastic on the back of the machine and explain that the software for controlling the motor had grown out of expected memory limits, to add exciting features like lights. Of course,...

Re: SinclairZX

Ah but then July 2011 is a whole month - so the deadline could be 1st or 31st....

And of course it is only ' estimated delivery' - its a wonder they don't say "within 28 days"... :D

Re: Gold Card and JM ROM?

I should add that I have already been speaking with the user about this - he has tried removing the 68008 from the QL, but that does not resolve the issue. The Gold Card works fine with a JS ROM QL. I have also suggested that he check that none of the expansion port pins are bent or missing as it co...

Re: Hi all from the Netherlands

At least you are getting somewhere :)

As for the QL - have a look at

Re: 20 Line Programming Challenge

The code block is to be used for easy copy and pasting. The problem is how you get that into a QL emulator (or woe-betide, a real QL!). If all a user has is Notepad, then that program adds the wrong code (CR,LF) to end each line of text (and you also get spacing before each line). A proper editor, s...
