Re: C68 function itoa
Norm, Thanks for this information. I fudged it with a switch statement and 16 cases. Kludgy but its working. I don't mind messing around like this as I am learning C as a pass time. I am so used to SQL that there is no common ground to strat of off. I have used Arduinos and RPi before, but only for ...

C68 function itoa
I'm hoping that you gurus can help me with a small problem. I am building a disassembler in C68 (its for fun, don't judge.) I want to use the itoa function to convert a decimal address into hex. I am using code based on this - int main() { int i = 0; long ad; char buff[7]; ad = 43981; itoa(ad,buff,1...

Re: Q68 Order Process
Derek, Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. I was going to try Kermit. I have a working version of Kermit 95 for the PC and have a working (well it starts up and does everything) version for the QL. Your last message did remind me that, on boot up, the Q68 is in BBQL mode (well almost, apart from the spe...

Re: Q68 Order Process
Derek,
Thanks for your reply.
I can write boot files, but am just getting used to the environments. I haven't even added a second SD card yet, so transfering software / applications is going to have to wait.

Re: Q68 Order Process
Derek The only comment / suggestion I would make is restructuring the two interfaces. QLE and QDock use different file stores. This has caused me a little confusion. I believe that the boot systems could load their programs and then attach the same file store to allow access to all of the programs. ...

Re: Dual FDD problems
Rich, I've managed to solve THIS problem. I now want a case / enclosure for two HDDs and three FDDs. I have to work out how I am going to steal all of the black lego blocks out of my grandkids lego boxes. And when (not if) they notice, how on Earth am I gonna be able to run away from the little pest...

Re: Dual FDD problems
To close this thread, my final results. 1) I bought the correct IDC cable and 10 connectors. 2) They arrived today and I made up a lead with the source connector, a FLP1 connector (with leads 10 to 12 reversed) midway and a FLP2 connector (straight through connections) at the end. It worked and I co...

Re: Dual FDD problems
Notes on QL floppy drives. Well, over the past few weeks I've been looking at why my Tetroid clone Gold Card won't use two 1.44MB floppy drives, while it's perfectly happy with two (older) 720KB drives. A number of people helped me with this investigation. Now here is what I discovered. The main QL ...
