The Sinclair QL Forum

The problems with the JM ROM are no doubt due to the fact that you cannot generally use a toolkit in the same program which initiates the toolkit on the JM ROM (this was fixed in JS ROM). Hence you may need to have a double boot program - ie. a short program to use RESPR, LBYTES and CALL to link in ...

I don't think there are any user groups in Finland - and I only have 4 QL users on my customer list from Finland. I do think that it will be a steep curve to remove that memory upgrade, as all of the chips have been piggy backed - it is a lot of de-soldering. It might just be easier to get another Q...

There is no function for this, as the QL does not store any information about the last drive accessed.

However, if you use the PROG_USE and DATA_USE commands in Toolkit II to set up the default program and data devices, you can access them with PRINT PROGD$ and PRINT DATAD$

Of course, the second floppy disk drive just needs to be placed on the cable before the twist on pins 10+12 (as PC floppy disk drives are set up as DS1 (FLP2_) by default).

My first step would be to remove the internal memory upgrade - these were slower than the external memory upgrades in any case, and it is probably one of these memory chips which has failed.

Yes - load a short boot program and then use MRUN instead of LRUN to load the rest of the SuperBASIC program.

I forget the equivalent in QLOAD.

No, it does not seem to be super sprite generator by Digital Precision as it has different commands in it.
