QL to PC network
QL to PC network
Has the QL network connection ever been used to transfer data between QL & PC? If so can you point me to the information?

Re: QL to PC network
There once was an app called something like QL-PC Transfer. I can't remember exactly how it worked but it needed a cable making up.
Sorry, getting old, vague memory.
Cheers,
Norm.

Why do they put lightning conductors on churches?

Perhaps you are thinking of this that I found searching QL-PC transferNormanDunbar wrote:There once was an app called something like QL-PC Transfer. I can't remember exactly how it worked but it needed a cable making up.

For some reason that link doesn't work (on my phone at least, not near a computer to check it), although it /looks/ correct.NormanDunbar wrote:I think it was this one http://www.dilwyn.me.uk/filetran/QL_TO_PC.zip.

There was also the QL-PC Fileserver from Di-Ren [https://qlwiki.qlforum.co.uk/doku.php?i ... fileserver]. It was commercial and never released afaik. You may come across second hand copies occasionally.

It doesn't work on my computer either. I found some info and different systems here.dilwyn wrote:NormanDunbar wrote:For some reason that link doesn't work (on my phone at least, not near a computer to check it), although it /looks/ correct.

Doesn't work for me either! It's on this page http://www.dilwyn.me.uk/filetran/index.html and the link previously posted, I copied directly from a "right click" on my tablet.
Maybe it's an upper case thing?

Re: QL to PC network
In any case if a PC was sitting on a QL network and looked like another QL it could respond & send stuff like a QL couldn't it? Hardware wise it seems simple and wouldn't take much software on the PC either. I think I read that the QL network runs at 100 KBaud is that correct?NormanDunbar wrote:Maybe it's an upper case thing?

Hi Ruptor!
A full description, plus documentation and software to download can be found elsewhere on the forum - just search for 'QLUB'. It remains a 'work in progress' with the next software release expected a little later this summer...
There is no reason why a native PC app couldn't be written to allow at least simple file-transfer between QL and PC over the QL network using the QLUB. An 'exercise for the reader', as they say - and I understand that another forum member has devised such an app in Python...

In essence, the QLAN to USB Bridge Adapter (or QLUB, for short) is such a hardware/software solution, though today, software to run on the PC side exists only for QDOS/SMSQ (i.e. to run within an emulator on the PC) as developed by the author.Ruptor wrote:In any case if a PC was sitting on a QL network and looked like another QL it could respond & send stuff like a QL couldn't it?

Just about - the standard QLAN bit-frame is 11.2 microseconds or c. 89 Kbps, and with the physical layer and protocol overhead, reaches about 3-4 KB per-sec.Ruptor wrote:I think I read that the QL network runs at 100 KBaud is that correct?

Re: QL to PC network
Hi,
I thought Martyn' excellent QLUB was the answer here.
I do not think there is much more software on the QL side to access a PC partition.
Just allow the QL to access the DOS drive on QPC2 with the NFS_USE, something like:
NFS_USE WAN,n1_dos1_, n1_dos2_
So WAN1_ is mapped the the QPC2 DOS1 drive over the QLUB link to the QL.
I do not know how to hi ave Windows/Linux/Mac access the QL. Mind, I am not interested in that sort of access.
