Re: Sinclair QL Case Top with Blanking Plate

Hi, Is the source code to Superhermes driver software going to be open source. The Superhermes SER3 driver does not not support split baud rates and so can not work with SerNET, which on a BBQL, limits the SerNET connection to 9600 Baud for a stable connection. The use of 19200 Baud, in my experienc...

Re: QPC1 - FREE?

I have a couple of old P3 Laptops, that are too slow to run Windows XP/7, but with MSDOS and QPC1 would a nice portable system.

I will bring these laptops to the Quanta AGM to be sold for £5 each.

I have other faster Laptops that can run QPC2 available for rock bottom prices.

Re: Gold Card Mystery

Hi,

How about a new up to date Altera EP1810 replacement.

This would mean a decode of the Gold Card Logic... :P

Re: QPC1 - FREE?

Hi, The last I remember Marcel saying he was not developing QPC1 any further. I have a couple of old P3 laptops that are too slow for Windows XP, so I have installed them with DOS and QPC1. QPC1 is a standard QL with 4 or 8 colours depending on the Screen mode. There is no DOS device, but connecting...

Re: How to feed parameters to unzip.....

Hi, Why not just type: EX unzip or EX unzip;'-h' will bring up the help screen. If you want to redirect the ouput of the screen to a specific channel, say SCR_ (#1) EX unzip,#1;'-h' Will redirect the UNZIP dialog windows to channel #1 or you could open the channel to a file and capture the scree oup...

Re: SMSQ/E for the QL?

Hi, The part about the CPU was a question, but the second part about the integrated Extended Environment (EE) was a statement. The EE can not be removed from SMSQ/E, which means that softwre that can not run has no real hope of function under SMS/E. Unless there is a compatiability mode. Which to my...

Re: SMSQ/E for the QL?

Hi Nasta, If a 68040/060 CPU were put into the QL, would this cause any problems with the current hardware. With regards to SMSQ\E for a standard QL, I would vote to use Minerva, as it does not have the PTR\WMAN\HOTKEY system pre-loaded and more developement of a WIMP system could be performed witho...

Re: QL Wishlist for 2014

Hi, I did have a look at the SQLite3 source code, a wulie back. SQLite3 uses Unicode in its compilation. I was pondering over, does the QL system needs Unicode. I do not think there is a Unicode Library for C68, so maybe porting SQLite without Unicode would be OK. This as a while back, I was overtak...

Re: QL Commercial Software Preservation

Hi,

I did ask about the code to this demo, but no one wanted to even talk about it.

Probably best to convert the 6502 source code to 68K.
