There's a new release on Github that should re-enable interlaced (32 color) graphics mode and add some other minor enhancements. For GD2 users, everything is as it was, so no reason to upgrade.

Re: Connect the Sinclair QL to a serial printer
And as you apparently have the handshake lines connected, you should probably also use them (i.e. leave out the "i" from the device name).

Re: Connect the Sinclair QL to a serial printer
600 Baud is very unlikely.
Apple. ImageWriters default to 9600 Baud if I remember that correctly. So, you should probably try this.

Looking for Extended MODE4 emulator for Atari Mega ST
Title says it all. I'm searching for a (working) extended Mode4 Emulator for an Atari Mega ST. I know those are as rare as hens' teeth, but maybe someone has one laying around they no longer need. Back in the 1990s, that was my setup that I would really like to re-create after having stupidly sold t...

Re: CST Ram Plus eproms - CST QDisc v4 issue
The QL memory map reserves (interestingly, much like the IBM PC) address space above $C0000 for I/O cards with 16k per slot. How this address space is used by the card (registers, ROM,...) is up to the card. QDOS will, on startup, scan the ROM port address ($C000) and the base addresses of each of t...

Re: QSTAR 2
I load a lot of programs residentially at boot. I tend to avoid programs that include Qlib_run, TK2, Turbo_TK, Ptrmen_cde, Qptr, .. as their inclusion doesnt bode well for the quality of the rest of the program! I tend to load those toolkits and a few more myself at boot time. That's what you and I...

Re: QSTAR 2
In most cases, it is just better to link TK2 (or any other used toolkit) into the compiled binary instead of loading it in BOOT. That means once your program is done, it will be gone again. With your approach, you might be ending up filling your memory with multiple copies of TK2 (which won't hurt, ...

Re: Double buffering?
Even if Peter says there isn't, here is a working example of how you can make the second screen usable in QDOS machine code programs. I didn't say there isn't. Just that I can not remember - which is a difference over 50 ;) I wonder how much room your procedure would leave for the actual code and d...

Re: Double buffering?
Even if Peter says there isn't, here is a working example of how you can make the second screen usable in QDOS machine code programs. Software that wants to do that needs, however, jump through some hoops to work and come back to a working system. You will also likely need a memory expansion to have...
