The Sinclair QL Forum

There are now some updates to the MDI and FDI device drivers. I have sent them to Dilwyn Jones, so they should soon be available there. I tried to attach them here, But I had problems getting the Forum software to accept them. I don't know what was going wrong. MDI version 1.08 FDI1 version 1.06 FDI...

if i copy the files in the win1_ and win_use mdv then lrun mdv1_boot.... the QL (minerva and the jm) restarts .. The win1_ medium name would need to be 'J Oobadiah' If I remember correctly, If the medium name is wrong, it resets the system. so it must be win1_j Oobiadiah_ the folder? No you would h...

Hi, To use the MDV file with MDI needs to be converted using the MDICONVERT2_BAS programme supplied with MDI v1.07. There are machine code conversion commands built into the driver, so you don't need the MDICONVERT2_BAS program. The only hard bit of the process is recognising the different MDV imag...

I started to have a look inside the Josiah Oobadiah game to see if it looks like it overwrites anything it should not. From what I have seen so far, it does not. It checks the medium name of the device it loads from. (So making it run from a hard drive might be a problem) It then allocates about 74K...

so you gona release 1,08?? in real hardware i got black screen after the s(start game) I doubt that it would help you. I have not made any changes to the core driver. I have mostly just tided up the SuperBASIC extensions parameter handling and error checking. There are now function versions of MOUN...

I have had a quick play... In picture 5 above, Is that my MDIConvert2_bas program? You would be much better using the CONVERT2_xxx commands built into the MDI driver for image file conversions. (and they are much faster too) So I first converted the Qlay image into a MDI image, using the above comma...

I like the Spectrum keys on the keyboard. And is that a old radio tuning capacitor under the monitor?

MDI ITS VERY HARD TO RUN ON A REAL QL MANY SUBROUTINES... :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :cry: :cry: :? What happens? Does it run at all? Or is it a speed issue? My QL's are mothballed. And I don't have a QL with a hard drive any more. So trying it myself is problematic. If it's a speed issue, I doubt that I ...
