Re: ntsc sinclar ql schematics ??

Hi again Peter! To be fair, the UK keyboard was already pretty much based on the US layout - something I was surprised to discover when developing the extra language maps for the Qbase :-) Did you finish any of them? No, not yet. I developed a flexible framework to support up to 8 distinct, user-sel...

Hi Peter!

Unfortunately, I need to back Sunday evening - both for work and also as my 16-yr old is in the midst of his GCSE exams, so will be flying back around 4pm from Dusseldorf...

Re: Anouncement for the 40th Anniversary of the Sinclair QL in Dormagen (Germany)

Hi everyone!

Just to say that, after careful consideration, I have now gone ahead and booked my flight for the Dormagen QL event in May :-)

Looking forward to seeing some of you there...

Re: Q68 direct sector access

Hi Per I don't have the answer, but wondered if you were trying to do what I wanted-to recently, i.e. to change the embedded Volume name of a WIN Container file - you'd expect to be able to set the Volume name at point of FORMAT, but you seem only able to set the volume size in the format string and...

Re: Thor XVI - Request for documentation...

HI BSRJ! Thanks - all good info, though I was actually looking for the Monitor pinout to know 'where' the Intensity bit is output (got that now, too!) Meanwhile, I've finally fitted the replacement PSU and checked all good power to the 2x boards, but the system doesn't come up (yet.) ICs get warm to...

Re: Thor XVI - Request for documentation...

Thanks Desin!

Yes, that's pretty much the same set of docs I've researched thus far.

Still missing a User Manual and any low level Technical documentation on the Thor-16.

Will keep on looking :-)

Re: Thor XVI - Request for documentation...

Oh, brilliant! Thank you, saves me messing about tracing each signal :-) If you happened to have any other technical or user documentation in the -16 and would be willing/able to share at some stage, I'd be very grateful! I'm almost ready to fire it up forget first time - hoping the significant corr...

Re: Thor XVI - Request for documentation...

Thanks for the tip, Derek. Yes, had looked there as well - all Thor-1/20/21 related materials. It's always possible that CST re-used the original QL Monitor pinout when they designed the IO board for the -16, though where they'd stick the 'Intensity' signal I don't yet know. I'll just probe the outp...
