Nice work EmmBee. Lovely animation on QPC2, even with several copies running.

Thanks to Bob Spelten jr. I've now been able to add instructions for the Full House game.http://www.dilwyn.me.uk/games/index.html

Still looking for a manual for QWriter version 1 if anyone has a copy...

Thankyou for that. Regarding mdv1 spinning up, if I turn the power off and on within a few seconds it doesn't spin up, it has to be left for at least 10 seconds power off. I have checked for bent pins and also checked that the correct voltages are present. I can't see anything that would pose a pro...

Jochen Merz has given permission for two of his early softwares to be released as freeware. Full House is a fruit machine poker game similar to many arcade machines found in Germany in the 1980s. Written in 100% machine code with good colour graphics. No manual, just a reproduced review of the game ...

Thanks for pointing that out Jan. I've removed t...

I'm pleased to announce that Peter Chambers of GAP Software has given permission for the Front Page range of QL desktop publishing programs to be made available as freeware. So I have made available copies of Front Page, Front Page Extra and Front Page Extra 2 programs. Front Page was the first vers...

I gues HullQLMan is after a QPC2 in his pocket...

An 8TB NAS on your QL? How did you connect them? How did you partition the NAS? Inquiring minds want to know! I'll bet Derek has a RAID-style array of QLs all with 2 x 100K microdrives to make up the 8TB NAS. Now how many microdrive cartridges is that? Probably more than the total number of QLs eve...

There is another version of APL (by Richard Zidlicky) for QL on my website, at http://www.dilwyn.me.uk/language/index.html
