Sounds like a superb old find! Did the flicker of your burning torch light up the QL treasures as you ventured into the unknown? :ugeek:

I have the documentation of the A/D_1 interface. It is in German however. I can scan it for you if you want.

@Francois

Yes please as I have no documentation with this currently, it would be nice to know how
the scanner head works and is installed! :D

Hi, I was afraid that I only had the documentation for the A/D_1 interface but after a more careful examination I also find the QL Scanner doc. I will try to scan everything this week.

On your side, can you check if you have A/D_1 files on one of your discs. They are called ad_boot, ad_cod, ad_rom and ad_asm; the most important one being ad_cod.

Thank you in advance.

Francois,

Not sure if you are still looking here but I now have V2.21 of the software :o

If you still have the manual then maybe we can sort it out.

Thanks

Russ

Hi Russ and François,
There is now English manual and software for the JFC QL-scanner on my website http://www.dilwyn.me.uk/docs/manuals/index.html - the software is v2.00 IIRC.

If you have later software please can you send a copy to Rich or myself for preservation.

Also, if you have software and manuals for the A/D interface, what I have doesn't seem to include it, I would be very grateful to get copies of those for preservation too.

I have the v2.21 software (thanks Bagpuss) and sent it to Francois and two more QL users !!

Someone must be able to find Jurgen Falkenberg - there's a task for our German members - I wonder if the designs are still around?

Thank you everyone involved !!

I will look at the manual I have (in german) and if it is more complete than the English version, I will scan it over the weekend and send it to whoever wants it.
