Re: The Future of the QL Wiki

The timing is bad because I need to go on a trip, but when I return I can set up a dedicated server just for QL hosting. It will be on a fixed IP with unlimited bandwidth, and I can point wiki.sinclairql.com to it. When that's done it should be a simple matter to port things over. Or Graeme (XorA) c...

Re: QL Real-time clock protection and Battery backup...

@Dave - when you referred to Martin's 'verison 2' of the cct, is that the same as the one documented on Dilwyn's site and I attached earlier? It is. Also, it's not being tried on a real QL, but on a breadboard partially implemented Issue 8 board. I don't think it's comparable. The idea here is to t...

Re: QL Benchmark

I'm interested in this too.

We have some new hardware with a faster CPU, but in the future we may well do something multicore. And a LOT faster. Everyone using the same benchmark would be good for comparison testing. Also, compatibility testing?

Re: Hurricane Harvey

It's been easy so far, but Harvey's changed course and we're now right on the top edge of the main storm. Now is the start of the 2-3 days or misery! To show you how bad it is - my wife is coming home from Sears. Early!

Re: Sinclair QL - blank screen.... HeLp!

Martin, while you're here - I have your updated reset generator circuit here and it works reasonably well (2 clock corruptions in 100 resets compared to 44 clock losses in 100 resets with the unaltered board). Do you have any changes you'd like to make on it in the 27 years since you released it? Al...

Re: Hurricane Harvey

Yeah, when we have 120 mph winds and 2 foot of rain, at least it's a comfortable 30C!
