Peter, another question.
In a QL with (S)GC without the 68008, will QIMSI Gold work?

Re: Announcing the new "Gold Card" - QIMSI Gold
¡¡Awesome!! A dream come true. I definitely want one.
The level of integration and how small the board is is amazing.
Congratulations, Peter, and everyone who participated in the development.

Re: FPGA replacment for the ZX8301 ULA and more
As Peter and one's complement suggested an expansion card board is ready and it solves many problems. It also needs two wires and a small board over zx8301 socket but it is so much easier to install and no need for 3d printed plate for the ports. I also changed fpga to the newer cyclone 10 LP that ...

Re: SGC successor brainstorming
Wow Peter!! Great as always! Out of curiosity, two questions: . Will it have a high speed rs-232 output (qimsi style "ser4")? (I believe I understood that yes). - If it has video, memory, keyboard/mouse... Will it also be able to work autonomously (without the QL)? It will definitely be a ...

Re: FPGA replacment for the ZX8301 ULA and more
You have done a great job. It would be a shame if those hardware sprites with 16 colors and the possibility of programming them from SuperBasic (as seen in some of your videos) do not reach users. Hardware sprites are interesting features present on other platforms that the QL does not have and are ...

Re: FPGA replacment for the ZX8301 ULA and more
But it has some disadvantages that keep me from making it available. It won't work with other expansion cards. It will work with virtual micro drives but most likely not with anything that plugs in the expansion port and uses the bus. It is not easy to install in the poor quality QL sockets. In my ...

Re: FPGA replacment for the ZX8301 ULA and more
Hi lliont, great!
This is close to a GoldCard (2 MB, 16 MHz processor) and also has the additions of the improved ULA, VGA output, MC68H001 at 15Mhz and QL-SD.
By the way, could your "ZX8301 ULA and more" run SMSQ/E?

Re: Software updates
It is strictly required to keep the containers files for native hardware unfragmented, while the QXL (and the other emulators) support fragmented container files. It is extremely important to distinguish this difference. Therefore I picked the term QLWA, which was established for the corresponding ...

Re: Software updates
It's great that SMSQE is still maintained. Many thanks to everyone involved in the project. I have installed SMSQE on my systems (QPC2, Q68, Q-emuLator, SGC-QLSD) and everything is working correctly. PS: Regarding the name of the default containers in win1_, it seems more comfortable to me that it b...

Re: Using the QIMSI-QL Link
Jan, Peter, thanks once again for the responses and support for this QIMSI feature. QIMSI's serial port has only minimal buffering so it's very likely that wrongly connecting pins 2 and 3 will fry your QIMSI, especially with PC ports which use 'real' RS-232 signal levels of +12 and -12 volts (unlike...
