Re: DataDesign SBASIC interface

The PROGS download site appears at: http://www.progs.be/Downloads/downloads.html Whilst Prowess itself is now freely distributable, I am unsure of the status of DataDesign or LineDesign for example. The sources are provided for the DataDesign engine which can be accessed from SuperBASIC, so you coul...

Thor 1 Repairs

Following a request by a returning user to the board, have a look at the Thor Technical Manuals - http://www.dilwyn.me.uk/docs/thor/index.html This shows that the Thor used an 8MHz crystal for the disk interface (I have some spares I acquired for my Trump Card if you need just the one).. It would be...

Re: Wanted: ExpanderRAM

There are always people looking for expanderams...

I have a couple of PCML 512K memory expansions - but they are dead end (no through connector) and hard to remove from the QL as they do not protrude from the case...

However, they may suffice for someone once the QL-SD Interfaces launch!

Re: QUANTA

Quanta can easily assign people to cover other people when they're busy/distracted/vacationing. Actually that is not as easy as you would think - the membership secretary is married to the chairman. Dilwyn (the news editor) is also having trouble finding time at the moment (thoughts are with you an...

Gold Cards and Super Gold Cards

I have now managed to get my last Gold Card working (thanks Derek), and two Super Gold Cards are also now available. There will be a third Super Gold Card once we find a replacement support for the heatsink! http://www.sellmyretro.com/category/Retro+Computers/Sinclair/Sinclair+QL/Hardware/General+~~...

Super Gold Cards - unrecognised ROM

Does anyone know why the Super Gold Card sometimes gives 'unrecognised ROM - please contact Miracle Systems' on the start up screen on some QLs, but not others? I have a JM ROM QL which works fine with another Gold Card and Super Gold Card, but this particular Super Gold Card gives this error on sta...

Excellent - I had not noticed that Daniele offered his own versions of SMSQ/e for q-emulator!

Re: QUANTA

I have to admit that when driving you do see some really bad drivers and 19 times out of 20 they are on a mobile phone. Whether it's the mobile phone causing the issue, or bad drivers just don't care about using a mobile is open to debate. I have seen people driving to work having a shave in the rea...

Re: QUANTA

He has been away on holiday - Bob, I do think it is unreasonable to expect a response from someone who is doing an unpaid job voluntarily to work 24/7 - actually it is one of the problems with modern life... In the 80s people would send a cheque by post and wait 28 days or so for a hopeful delivery....

Re: Service Manual and Schematics

Your best bet would be to ask Urs Koenig or Tony Firshman - they are bound to have an original QL Service Manual - although I have to admit that the ones I have seen do not have great images of the circuit diagrams either. Skagon - as for the mods on that picture - it is a Samsung QL which already h...
