Have fun with QL/E.

Hi Urs,

Excellent video, showing the versatility of the QL operating system on all the major hardware platforms.

I will update my Q68 distribution to include the QL/E update.

I'm just relieved to see it rains in other countries as well

And it took me another 7 months to find time and patience to create a QUBATA partition on a Compact Flash (CF) card with Tetroid Disk Interface (TDI).

Download it here:

Browse to the last column "Download" in the "QL/E" section and look for:
Stand-Alone Edition 1904 v3.19 for TDI QUBATA CF card, 317 MB

QL forever!

Hi Urs,

Nice video.

I do not think 11 deg C is cold, in the UK, that would warm....

Hi QLers,

QL/E v3.20 (Codename "Take a breath", 2020 edition) is out now!

It is by far the best QL/E ever!

Download as usual from the sinclairql.net website, see message footer.

I wish you all a Happy and Healthy New Year 2021!

Cheers,
Urs

Thanks Urs, will there be a stand alone version for TDI CF card?

Happy New Year!

Rob.

Welcome! You're right; the QUBIDE/TDI image is one of the next editions of THE DISTRIBUTION to follow, getting updated with QL/E v3.20.

Here's the plan:
1. QL-SD image (for QLs with QL-SD, MIST and Q68)
2. QUBIDE/TDI image (for QLs with QUBIDE or TDI)
3. THE DISTRIBUTION for PCs (the full package - not only QL/E)
4. THE DISTRIBUTION for Raspi (the full package - not only QL/E)

My intention is to make all this happen in January 2021!

Between Dec 20th and 31st I invested about 50 hours work into QL/E v3.20 & THE DISTRIBUTION v3.06. I went through almost all the software releases of 2019 and 2020 published on the forums, Dilwyn's and Marcel's site, tested them for multiple platform compatibility and included the ones which a) passed the tests and b) did no exceed the current space boundaries of QL/E (QLE.WIN size 80MB).

During the tests I found several issues in various 2019/2020 software releases which I will share in the corresponding forum threads. Authors should take that as positive motivated feedback, not offense.

Back home from the Christmas/New Year vacation in the Swiss Alps - where I only had my main Notebook PC with me - I did some more testing/QA today on various QL platforms such as MIST and Q68.

Q68 users should use CFG to set the NET TCP/IP either to „none“ or „192.168.1.x“ (I use x=8 as this is free in my LAN and reminds me of the Q68), not to "local" !, to avoid boot failing at line 11425.
