... so... what is the history of this no sticker, no resistor adapter? Your Disk Adapter has the a "DA" mark, mine is "DA2" and has these resistors on the component side. Your 2nd PCB seems to be updated to a DA2 standard. There is also a "Gold Card Compatible" printed...

HI, I think this was to allow the Gold Card, which only supports 2 Floppy Disk Drives, to have an extras 2 Floppy Disks. If you look at the Super Gold Card, the same sort of interface is present on the Floppy Drive connectors. The Trump Card can access 4 Floppy Disk Drives. At the time some new dri...

... So it looks like if we want to use 68020 assembley language, this not recommended. The Assembley Language Mag, used GWASL, whivh is a 68000 assembler, but QPC2 v5 can emulate 68020 CPU, so GWASS can be used. I use GWASS on the Q60, which assembles 68060 assembley op codes, in SMSQ/E. The GWASS ...

Hello everyone. I am trying to get started with QPTR WMAN... Is there a simple example somewhere? I am looking for a simple managed window with only the standerd move and resize LIL Would be super if someone has that or can show that Thank a lot in advance The QPTR package contains some examples th...

Ahah! I say I'll look at the family tree one, but of course I forgot that I am not currently a QUANTA member and so alas cannot access the library. But that's a whole other conversation of course :D The link I gave to Dilwyn's site is a program by Andy Carmichael who also wrote the one in QL-World'...

The Quanta archives hold some family tree programs running in Archive. There was also a version published in the QL-World exchange series. Several _dbf's were linked together. For that each person is identified by a unique number that is generated automatically in field one when a new individual is ...

What software was provided with the QXL board? Was it just the original SMSQ or was there any support software? A customer has a QXL board, but not any of the supporting disks so I was wondering what I need to send him? Below is a copy from the disk that came with my QXL2 in '96. This SMSQ 2.76 did...

... The fact I am seeing some sort of message on the screen and a stable video (even if it has garbage on it) suggests the main video circuit is good and it's booted as far as the SGC ROM to get that message - which I presume is "Rom version not found contact miracle systems" Case is a Pa...

It should be sufficient to create a new file from SuperBASIC, and then try to OPEN_OVER from SuperBASIC: OPEN_OVER is a TK2 command and thus not standard available in Minerva. However according to the Minerva manual an _OVER action can be created by a third parameter (page 21 of my copy). : OPEN ch...

Looks like I'm running out of options :(. With this ROM my Q68 didn't crash when moving the mouse. I haven't considered the serial interrupts yet, but I can hardly imagine that not doing anything with the serial port can leave these interrupts enabled. I'm curious about experiences from other Q68 u...
