Blank Floppy Discs

Can anyone tell me the best place to buy blank floppy discs to use with the QL?
I'm down to my last few!

I assume it's best to use DD discs & not a good idea to use HD discs?

Re: CP/M

Looks like I've set myself a challenge now!

Now, to attempt to cross compile it with GCC? or try a native C copiler on the QL?
Choices, Choices..........

Re: CP/M

I'm not sure if this is the same version, but there is a CP/M-68K for download here - http://www.cpm.z80.de/binary.html

CP/M

Does anyone know if it's possible to run CP/M on the QL?

I see Wikipedia lists a version for the Motorolla 68000 - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CP/M#The_16-bit_world

I can't find much about running CP/M on the QL on Google :(


Cheers,
Rob.

Re: QL heatsink?

I fitted a small heatsink to the voltage regulator on my Trump Card.

It was getting really hot, so much so, you couldn't touch it!
I'm still not sure if I should change the regulator though, how hot should they get?

Re: polka, because Paul K...

Hi Polka!

Just wanted to say your QL looks awesome!
I'm tempted to recreate the red function keys on my QL, time for a spot a painting!

That little front-end you've made looks great too, it's actually just what I was looking for!


Nice work sir!

Cheers Dex!
I found that picture by chance, I was searching on Google Images for something!

I never considered it might have been posted on here. :o

Name That Program

Can anyone name the program that is running on this picture?

Looks like a handy frontend, but I can't find it!

Re: Roguelike games on the QL?

Not sure if it's the same game, there's a zip file Rogue game on the games page on my website, if you have difficulty with the above site. http://www.dilwyn.me.uk/games/rogue.zip Dilwyn It looks pretty similar! I managed to get it running with some tinkering and with the help of vanpeebles! :ugeek:...
