Re: System Variables - what are the rules...

Re: SOS
At a guess, the monitor has blown the 8301 or 8302 - can you try it on a TV output just to see what image you are getting? If the monitor is connected via composite video, there is no direct connection to the 8301. He could try connecting the monitor to the monochrome signal to rule out a defect 13...

Re: Stuart Honeyball
I was present at the launch of the Gold card at the Horticultural Halls at Victoria and remember well the buzz about it at that event. Can you remember when that was? Would be very early 90's. Possibly the last ever Traditional Microfair at that venue. They moved to Sandown racecourse I think after...

Re: Stuart Honeyball
Very sad news
He and his colleagues came to Eindhoven many times, sometimes even on folding bikes backpacked full of Gold Cards.
My condolences to his family, the QL community will remember him forever as the Miracle guy who gave the QL a second life...

Re: Hello from Dorset
I seem to recall having nothing but problems with the Astracom modem (Updated Hayes command version) I replaced it with a Amstrad V22bis modem on the Qconnects RS232 port I seem to recall.

Re: Hello from Dorset
The name was QSPIL (QBOX Serial Port Interface Layer, I mostly stole it from FOSSIL ;) ). Yes I remember that now you remind me. I wrote a version for one modem which I now cannot remember. I also used a version written for me by Jonathan Hudson which drove the Tandata QConnect i/f. His QTPI termin...
