Re: Using the QIMSI-QL Link

I've created a new GitHub repository https://github.com/janbredenbeek/QIMSI-SER4 with the serial driver software I wrote so far. It's far from finished but should be usable for serial transfers between QL and Q68 or PC (for Q68, I recommend using SERNET v2.25 on both sides).

Re: Using the QIMSI-QL Link

Could someone post a photo of what the serial output connection from QIMSI would look like? What type of connector could be used on the QIMSI side? No photo here, but it's clearly identifyable in the QIMSI manual's photo. The serial interface is on the right-hand side of the QIMSI board as seen on ...

Re: Minerva4Q68

There is a tool on the Marcel Kilgus site that adds a few of the Q68-SMSQ/E commands to the QL-SD Minerva package. (CARD_RENF, CARD_CREATE, CARD_DIR$) https://www.kilgus.net/ql/ql-sd/ Thanks, I just discovered I had already downloaded this months ago. I have my doubts if this works for the Q68 (or ...

Re: Minerva4Q68

I've had a play with this. But I've found I can't do what I wanted. I wanted to start Minerva, then use WIN_DRIVE to mount whatever QXL.WIN file I wanted. But there's no WIN_DRIVE, or CART_DIR$ commands in Minerva4Q68. You have to use menu config to set the Minerva4Q68 WIN associations first. I sup...

Re: Q68 Emulate original QL Keyboard

https://github.com/SinclairQL/sQLux/commit/4a9e88e910ba4ae2a906a6815e0a3e666d0cb148 Was my fix for a very similar problem under emulation. During boot d1 is compared for an expected value, if its not found it reboots without RAMTOP set and finds all the memory, and not just what its supposed to. Bu...

Re: Q68 Emulate original QL Keyboard

The hardware reset by magic word access to $1C024 resets both the CPU and all peripherals except the CP2200. I am curious whether this does preserve the 68000 registers or not. If not, it won't be possible to do a full hardware reset with CALL 390 because it expects a magic word in register A5 and ...

Re: Minerva4Q68

Just a quick question. If I start Minerva4Q68 from SMSQ/E with LRESPR. Once Minerva has started, Can I safely mount QXL.WIN container files in Minerva4Q68, that were mounted by SMSQ/E beforehand. i.e. When Minerva4Q68 starts, is SMSQ/E completely gone. And any open files are closed. You should clos...
