Also does your Thor have single sided drives, or do you need to enter something special to force it to do double sided. I think he equated sectors and amount of memory. As far as I know, the Thor has always had 720k floppies. Yep 720k, tried 1.44Mb on Thor without joy. The 720 sector thing came abo...

Thanks, so I was only mad for trying

And I'll use 720 sector disks.

Does anyone have an idiots guide on how to grab System Rom images so they can be archived on Dilwyn's website, I'm looking to do it for my Thor 20 as Dilwyn lacks some of the Roms, I assume other than the memory maps the actual procedure would be the same as for a QL. Attached a Thor 1 memory map. T...

Okay I tried to dig further and tried a few QL emulators to try and generate formatted disk images, finally settled on Qemulator, which when I tried to register for Pro says you can't but gives you a free code for Pro until April, so useful if anyone wants to check it out. Seems to work fine. So I g...

Thanks, but shouldn't it be 1.44Mb in size as a formatted image?, I tried it anyway and it doesn't show as format and still gives a "Format failed" after about 60 seconds. I may be missing something and the Thor can't support 1.44mb floppies. It does seem to report 1440 sectors though. Is ...

Could someone send me a formatted 1.44 formatted img please? I tried using the QLtools.exe from Github, but I think its still the old version and only makes 18k images. I'm not a Unix person, so seems a bit extreme to try and go down that rabbit hole to make one disk image :? I did try formatting a ...

The manual and original software remain copyright Games Workshop, so I can't give my consent to upload it. Can I send photos to you to distribute with new copies ? does it sell many still ? or perhaps to compare to your hand typed manual/notes?. 20230301_112439.jpg The Games workshop manual is 16 p...

There is no scan of the original manual - I had to re-write it by hand for D-Day MKII. Games Workshop didn't pull the original - they allowed CGH Services (and later me) to offer D-Day MKII as both an upgrade and stand-alone version. I was going to say the manual in the box was not attributed, but ...

While looking around the loft I came across a stack of my old Computer magazines, sorry no QL ones. But a few mentions of it in the run up to December 1984. But thumbing through a copy of Personal Computing Today for December 1984, I spotted a QL ad in the classified section at the back. Made me lau...

Sent front and rear, the spine is boring.

Is the manual available online ?, if so will compare to the one in the box and see if any differences. May confirm if its DDay or DDay II on the cartridges. Did Games Workshop pull the original version ?.
