Re: Q40/Q60

Good luck with the display... they seem to use varying panels.
By the way, I noticed the QL-typical white/red transitions looked sharper from VGA signal than from HDMI.

Re: PiStorm

Buffee is some super vapourware, its been going a decade and no-one has seen anything! Thanks for speaking more frankly than me. ;) Apollo core AFAIK does not implement TAS instruction, and I think QL software was apparently fond of that instruction! Thanks for the info. And that's most likely not ...

Re: PiStorm

Thanks. I looked into that years ago. Debugging for QL purposes would require an unknown amout of paid support. Like PiStorm, nobody seems to have tested it with QDOS Classic on Amiga, so it's unknown if it can execute demanding QL code correctly.

Re: Q40/Q60

If you are fortunate enough to have an old flat screen monitor with a 1024x768 resolution and 4:3 aspect ratio you are OK I bought mine brandnew. Similar to this: https://www.amazon.de/JaiHo-Bildschirm-1024x768-Computer-Videoplayer/dp/B07DC9WX3V [...] or to the Q68 which is nice but very slow at hi...

Any hint what you mean? I don't speak french and automatic translation also didn't make me much wiser.

Re: PiStorm

While I dont claim to understand all the ins and out of the matter (Im sure there are plenty here who can disabuse me), to me the Buffee sounds like the more interesting prospect as its aim is to be a CPU emulator, untied to any specific platform like Amiga or ST. The apporach sounds nice, but I ha...

Re: PiStorm

I should finish my Amiga 600 PiStorm project. Lost interest when I couldn't find an affordable pi zero 2w during the pandemic. I should get one now and finish the project this summer. Please keep us updated. In case you get QDOS Classic to work on EMU68 with a decent amout of QL side software, we k...

Re: Q40/Q60

This is my Q60 with your updated VGA chip same monitor : Of the two I prefer the OSSC. Of course - the modified Q60 video chip is not suitable for widescreens at all. It is for monitors with native 1024x768 resolution or at least 4:3 aspect ratio. With a 1024x768 monitor, you get an absolutely crys...

Many thanks for the info and for posting the pics. Not sure I would be satisfied with the OSSC.
