Re: TDI and QIMI - compatible?
Just to close this off, I got a replacement rechargeable battery and that allows the machine to boot fine with the TDI. I then spent ages trying to work out why the mouse would only move upwards, eventually to discover that the Atari mouse I was using was broken <facepalm>. Trying a different mouse ...

Re: TDI and QIMI - compatible?
Aha! I daresay you could be right - the battery doesn't look in the best of shape.
Thank you!
Thank you!

Re: TDI and QIMI - compatible?
Thanks for the replies on this. Having done some more testing, I think the QIMI is broken - even on the machine with no TDI fitted, it's flaky. For example, scrolling a window causes a reset :o So something as simple as FOR a=1 TO 10:PRINT a: END FOR a will trigger a reset when the window fills Any ...

TDI and QIMI - compatible?
Hi, Anyone know if the the Tetroid Disk Interface and QIMI are incompatible? I have a TDI, which is wonderful, but also managed to get a not-known-if-working QIMI. Putting the QIMI in the QL only and I can get to the cursor OK. Add the TDI and I get constant resets on the black screen with the Miner...

Re: Previously unreleased game
You'll need Slug or something similar. Without it, on a GC it's way too fast and on an SGC it's insane.

Re: Previously unreleased game
I have the source (which assembles with Devpac) but it's not easy to follow!

Re: Previously unreleased game
Thanks. Many of the static objects are fatal when touched. The room to the bottom right from the start room is particularly difficult to navigate

Previously unreleased game
It's Christmas (almost), so here is a gift to the community: a QL game I wrote as a teenager in about 1986 which I have managed to extract at last from floppies. In true 1980s ad style, it features: 100% machine code Isomorphic 3D Interactable objects Deadly traps and puzzles lrespr quinquagesima.bi...

Re: QL on the internet
Tofro,
Can you reliably load data from the Spectrum to a QL? That was always the problem for any Spectrum/IF1/QL combination I have ever come across or heard about. If you can then that's great!
I'm guessing you're using an SG QL? Maybe that's the difference?
