Anyway, my interface can accept only 9600 Baud, am I right? Yes, according to the manual (http://www.dilwyn.me.uk/docs/manuals/QL_CentronicsPrinterInterface_UserManual.pdf ) it's fixed at 9600 Baud. And I wouldn't worry too much about that because most programs will not even be able to send at high...

For the moment there's still something I don't understand: the printer (Brother HL-5040) receives data, but it stays paused until I push the botton "go", and Quill doesn't print ("can't open the file"). Apparently, your printer doesn't start to print until it sees a form feed. M...

Tom, Did a quick check: STRINGL doesn't show up in any of the SuperBASIC keyword lists that I have (and I have some....), and also not in Rich Mellor's SuperBASIC reference manual. Although it appears to sound more like picking the length of the string (which wouldn't make a lot of sense), I would s...

Yes, Tobias, I'm looking at uQLx as an emulator option. It only provides a base QL, doesn't it? It would be nice to have one that also includes higher video modes. James, uqlx is actually able to emulate a kindof "super QL" - with the following extended features: Up to 16MB of accessible ...

The most central thing would be to get the emulator working, but I happen to know someone whou got this working already for you . Look for uqlx for the RPi on Dilwyn's site - It still has a number of quirks, but runs reasonably well.

There is a number of scanned QL magazines (and also quite some other stuff) available here:

Oh yeah!
I have been looking for that version for ages now! Would be good if we could make that openly available!

Peter, yes, that's true. SBASIC checks against a number of possible quirks in programs that SuperBASIC didn't care about - A fact that has mostly been considered a bug in the interpreter. One of those is the proper nesting of PROCs and FuNcs. Other languages like Pascal or MODULA allow you to basica...

Most of the stuff seems to be old Apple Image/LaserWriter junk (The "Adobe" ROMs hint to that). Nothing for a QL freak in there.
