Re: PMs disabled.

Hi Dave, I noticed I couldn't PM you the other day, to follow up where we'd been talking about the backplane and q-buck regulator previously - now I see this and it makes sense! Just to say I am still interested in these items and happy to email directly if that is easiest. You'll have noticed from ...

Re: Miracle Super Gold card

Just stumbled upon this. Great to hear an SGC clone is in the works!

Really like the trust and community spirit on this forum :)

Good luck with it Tetroid. I will no doubt be one of many eager customers!

Re: Testing Tetroid backplane and GC

Hi all, many thanks for your help! Have you tried taking out the 68008 from the QL when you use the Gold card ? This is something I've not yet tried, good shout, I will give that a go! Hopefully the combination of doing this plus keeping the GC in the nearest backplane slot to the QL will get me on ...

Re: QL-SD news

Hmm, actually the ROM switcher is a bit of a problem. Usually QL-SD comes with an EEPROM that contains Minerva and has some pins bend out so the EEPROM is only active on any address other than 0xFEE4. That's important because that is where the actual SD data is read. The Tetroid board cannot be ben...

Re: Testing Tetroid backplane and GC

I return following more tests! Leaving the Gold Card out of it for a minute, part of it was my own eagerness to try everything out that was at fault. I hadn't re-read the instructions for the QubIDE and so had forgotten about the jumpers, which hadn't needed changing previously as it wasn't sharing ...

Testing Tetroid backplane and GC

Hi guys, Since my introduction to the forum and occasional foray into the discussions (generally to champion various proposed bits of hardware!) I've been gradually buying up bits and pieces to get my QLs back into a usable state with modern media etc, but have hit a bit of a snag - though I'm not s...

Re: QL-SD news

Hi Marcel, Please also put me down for one! I have Tetroid's rom switcher with Minerva, so should be good to go. And for the record, I would definitely be interested in an external one too if it were made available - a simple, less 'permanent' solution is appealing for tinkering and swapping things ...

Re: QConnect Software

Thanks guys, Derek, that would be great if you are able to do that!

(If I need to prove ownership of the hardware I'm happy to take a snap of it next to a recent newspaper, or whatever!)

Cheers,

Doug

Re: QConnect Software

Hi guys, I have the Tandata stack featuring all three bits of black plastic but alas no software to try it out and see if it works. I was wondering if the QConnect software was now available somewhere following your conversations last year? Thanks in advance for any help/advice! I'm just interested ...

Looking forward to the new QL-SD, I missed it the first time round. I have some of Tetroid's stuff too; it will be great to have options!
