Martin and Rich, thank you very much.

I corrected the manual according to your recomendations.

Hi. Im sorry about long delay with any news about Tetroid interface. Unfortunately, I have a problem with creating the comprehensive english manual. I made short version, I hope this is sufficient to set up and connect the new interface to QL system. I took some phrases from QUBIDE and Trump card ma...

It need some tests to avoid the problems.
Alain will check new versions of QUBATA.

Would there be enough pins left to add four SD card signals? Maybe an SD card socket on PCB bottom? Thank you, very good idea ! Can fit SD socket connector on PCB bottom ( can be located standard SD or micro SD ). http://cats-chess.narod.ru/QL/QLMIO/SD_to_QLMIO.jpg Only one pin of EPM7128 not conne...

Hi Rich (and Tetroid), I suspect I have the same version of the QUBIDE interface (that is, one of the first batch shipped). Should I upgrade the firmware on my interface as well. I don't have an EPROM programmer, though will see if there is one at work I can use. If I can't upgrade the EPROM, is it...

Can this interface be used together with a Gold Card (Super Gold Card) with a suitable expansion port expander. I'm using my Gold Card with a expansion port doubler together with Dirk Steinkopfs harddisk interface in a kind of PC-housing, works very well. I do not have GC or Super GC and I can not ...

Rich, thank you very much for your info and links.

I can offer regular versions of interface today, but Alain plan to check his driver on new board.
He hasn't received the new interface yet.

Hi. Im sorry about long delay with any news about Tetroid interface. First news. New firmware version for prototype version and ROM in attachment. I corrected the wrong address for QUBIDE part ( input/output buffers for IDE data ) ROM contain v 2.17 ROM for Trump card and new 3.08T ROM driver for my...

I've run a range of much less interesting tests to check read/ write/ dir on different drives, copy files between combinations of floppy drive, Microdrive, and win1_ device, plus check TK2 functionality. All seems in order, except one strangeness I've found is that using flp2_ to format a floppy di...
