The Sinclair QL Forum

Ok - found it ! Thank you!

In the unlikely case that a file with a native filesystem Q-emuLator header arrives on a QL (for example because it's an executable and it was transmitted through the serial port using a Windows/Mac communication software instead of using QL software, there is a utility included with Q-emulator tha...

A quick look on ebay shows some ps/2 mouse to serial port adaptors. You just need a BT to 9 pin D serial port adaptor on the QL, plus the serial mouse software (or am I missing something) Those adaptors are hit-and-miss. They work with some Logitech and Microsoft mouse models (mostly the models wit...

How can I connect a mouse to the QL ?
As serial mouse with 9 pin connectors are very hard to find, is there a way to connect a mouse with a PS2 connector ?

I just tried it here on my laptop with an unregistered copy of q-emulator and likewise, cannot reproduce it. I have reported it to Daniele to look at - as it looks to be something to do with the registered version of q-emulator (which I assume Andrew has) Yes, I use the registered version Saturday ...

Hi, If a file is saved in Q-Emulator to a Windows mapped Folder. I asdume a QDOS header is attached to the file. Can this file be read on a non-emulator QL? Is there a command in Q-Emulator not to add a QDOS header? I only use WIN containers on Q-Emulator, which allows interchange with all QL platf...

Rich, I wish your SuperBasic manual had filtering capabilities, to filter all keywords from a specific toolkit (location, as it is named in the manual)

I noticed the following:
OPEN_DIR#4,flp2_QLtest_bas
will return:
- Bad Parameter - if QLtest_bas exists on flp2_
- no error - if QLtest_bas does not exist on flp2_

Also make_dir does not work on QEmulator - it returns Bad name

Thank you Rich, this makes the issue clear! Tonight I will test the latest version of QED - QED in flp1_ and the file to be edited in flp2_

@janbredenbeek : Could please fix the issue ? Or fix the config program to work on QDOS. Thank you.

I've not been able to reproduce the problem on Qemulator. What kind of medium was win3_ mapped to (Windows directory or MDV/WIN file)? Was it perhaps read-only? Jan. The file that I was trying to load was always in a drive mapped to a Directory - and for sure not read-only. I can read and write to ...
