The Sinclair QL Forum

The Data Print Utility was sold separately from FTCII. I don't know if you sold this along side FTCII.

According to the Ql Wiki https://qlwiki.qlforum.co.uk/doku.php?id=qlwiki:ftcii_data_print_utility , This is a lost program. I'm tinkering with the idea of trying to recreate it, or something like it. Does anyone remember using this program. Did it just display ship data, or did it do anything fancy,...

I know I keep harping on about that solder blob on the 2nd pin in your picture. I had a quick look at the circuit diagram (issue 5). And I think that is pin 7 of the RAM chip, and that large track is most likely either ground, or 5Volts. Pin 7 is the DA1 line which goes to IC19, (which you've been l...

I don't know if these pictures of bare boards will be of any help viewtopic.php?p=24839#p24839

If you blow them up, you can just about follow the tracks.

Thanks for the feedback. The documents are an edited version of the one's I did for the Q68, (which was and edited version of the QPC2 one's), So that COLOUR_QL was something I missed. As Jan said earlier, the WIN driver's a bit limited. You can only set the WIN drive associations with the menuconfi...

Looking at the photo, Is the pin 2nd one down on the left supposed to be connected to that large piece of track. Also there are a of solder splashes that might be bridging tracks, Give them a scrub with an old tooth brush, and/or scrape them off with a small (watch makers) screwdriver. Hi Martin, I...

Here's the first version of my Minerva4Q68 keywords and concepts documents. They are in Libre office and PDF versions.

Please let me know if you spot any errors or omissions.

Thanks for that. I will add a warning in the FORMAT description to not format WIN drives, and to do it in SMSQ/E. I have already added a warning in the concepts document to avoid starting Minerva with CTRL-Fx. Another quick question, Is the QUB device like the SMSQ/E one , in that it should only be ...

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 supp...
