Re: QL wishlist for 2011

I have examined the Minerva MkI and realised, that it is prepared for upgrade to MkII (just add the PCF8583, crystal and some resistors)..... This will allow to connect the USBwizOEM board with USB host controller and SD card reader via I2C. Just a warning that not all Minerva carrier PCBs are the ...

Re: Eidersoft ICE System

Dave - server space is not so much of an issue - from a software point of view, it is the time and cost involved in getting hold of the software and transferring it to hard disk here (I do have regular backups to an external hard disk). I do wonder about putting all of the preserved software somewhe...

Copy Protection

As part of the process behind preserving QL software, we need to break the copy protection for some programs, some of which I have the rights to distribute. I can supply a copy of the program if someone fancies delving into machine code to break the copy protection. At the moment, the following soft...

Re: Eidersoft ICE System

Unfortunately, I cannot find a version of the program ARTiced which will work with just the keyboard - all of the working versions I have are in fact MICEart and appear to need a 3 button mouse!

Q-Tron

This is an interesting game which is marked Axel Berle (c) 1987 Gallic Digital It looks as though it might have been a microdrive exchange program published by Sinclair QL World although does anyone else have any more details? It is machine code and fast and furious - you have to shoot marauding ali...

Re: Eidersoft ICE System

Yes, basically that is what I am doing - see www.rwapsoftware.co.uk/updates.html I am collecting the software into a version which runs under q-emulator, so that it can then be easily copied to disk or emailed to people who need it. It can be converted to other emulators too, but that is more work, ...

Re: ArchDEV/RTM Preserved

I can't offer free downloads of commercial software, without permission from the copyright holders. I do add them to my own RWAP Software site, for people to buy copies if they have the original but need a working copy - but the format is terrible to find what you want, and people are not willing to...

Re: XPERT Software

I have managed to resurrect Stock Control and a Impacct demo on another QL today, so it looks as though this package is now complete!

ArchDEV/RTM Preserved

I have now preserved a copy of ArchDEV/RTM by Psion - the runtime package for programs developed in QL Archive.
