I watched short YouTube video of someone trying fix a PET 2001.Dave wrote: There's also a couple of non-QL-related projects. A 6502 "memory saver" that will plug into any PET 2001 - 8032 with bad or missing memory and give it 32K of working RAM, a LumaFix128 that fixes some problems with e5frog's version - it's breaking a lot of C128s, and a 512K S-100 bus card I have been given a little money to produce from a schematic.
While multitasking is good for the QL operating system, it makes most (male) humans terribly inefficient. Many good QL projects died or were delayed for years because of multitasking.Dave wrote:I'm a little behind...
What's going on is that I have been multitasking.
Nah - just switch to SUPERVISOR mode, at least anything really important could still catch Dave's attentionPeter wrote:Wish I could send an "interrupt disable"
This is my experience too. It takes me about 10-15 minutes to effectively switch tasks. My conflict is that after 5-6 hours of doing the same thing my concentration starts to fade. So I do 'other items' in 2 hour blocks with 30 minute breaks between them, and the Issue 8 in 4 hour blocks with an hour break. This maximizes efficiency.Peter wrote:While multitasking is good for the QL operating system, it makes most (male) humans terribly inefficient.

Famous last words . Its smaller than I think. Seems Nasta has worked at QuestDave wrote:Nasta just sent me a photo of the QL video card prototype:
