Re: QL Games

Hi Derek!

To my (one-track!) mind, I'd love to see some games that leverage the QL Network effectively!

Turn-based, strategy games could be a 'low hanging fruit', but I'm sure there are other genres that could be developed around a multi-player model...

Re: My rare old QL version AH

Hi again badaman Thanks to both. I'm left with the mystery of the 8049 label and what appears under the empty socket. When you say 'what appears under the empty socket.', what are you hoping to learn? There are some traces, but nothing that you need to worry about. The socket is there only as an art...

Re: My rare old QL version AH

Hi badaman! Your Issue-5 looks pretty standard to me, aside from: A. That disconnected flying lead from (what appears to be) AS on the exp connector (B25) to the otherwise not-connected pin on the ROM Port. Perhaps the previous owner had a non standard device attached there. No value in reconnecting...

Re: ql2vga ready to use UPDATE !!

Hi Santiago! Correct, the QL2VGA adapter will come with a small flying lead terminated with an 8-pin DIN type plug that fits the QL's Monitor socket. On the other side of the adapter is a female 15-DSub VGA socket, ready to fit a male-to-male VGA Cable. It's a really neat device and very well assemb...

Re: Greetings from Maribor, Slovenia.

Welcome Joze! I was intrigued to read that you're in Slovenia - my maternal family are from just over the Slovenian border in Northern Italy - though still quite a distance from Maribor! I'm sure between the clever folks here on the Forum, you'll get all the advice you need to do justice to your QL ...

Re: Norm's Blog and QDOSMSQ Web Site

Hi Norm!

I used to trawl your QDOS internals site a lot - I liked the format and style, as much as the info, which, as you say, is now fairly well covered elsewhere.

Re: QL Screen View online

Dear Javier

What a truly handy online utility! Thank you :-)

Here's a rendition from your tool of my favourite 32k QL mode-8 _scr, courtesy of ACG/Ultimate - one I use for testing my Networking developments (hope I'm not encroaching on copyright - if so I'll delete it immediately.)

Hi Steve!

Once again, I'm so impressed to see you develop these comp science ideas on our beloved platform...

Just didn't want you to think that no one is reading your posts with very keen interest!

Re: ql2vga ready to use UPDATE !!

Hiya Techy!

So impressed with your assembly and execution of these great little devices, I'd love to purchase another 2 units for my remaining QLs - but only after others here have the opportunity to pick one up for themselves!
