The Sinclair QL Forum

Ciao Danielle! It's great to hear that you've started the journey! I'd be very happy to use your setup and trouble-shoot together, if you like? Attached is my own 32-bit bit-wise toolkit - might be worth trying that in place of your own as a first easy step, in case I'm relying on (a quirk in) my ow...

Hi Tim! Well they say a journey begins with the first step - so I have downloaded the files - thanks for sharing I will begin to gather the needed bits into a the queue of boxes of projects I have, this may however jump that Queue... Good luck! Whilst the instructions may look daunting at first, in ...

Hi Peter If Wolfgang has no better idea, and you don't find that approach too clumsy anyway, I could also have quick look into writing such a server at least for Linux and Windoze. Would it be better to define a packet format, or just go byte-by-byte? I reckon a byte for byte approach would be prefe...

Hi Peter Maybe your driver inside the emulator could access a network server (on the host) by UDP or TCP, which then handles the serial port? Not very nice to need an extra server though. That would be trivial enough form within the code written - to open a UDP socket instead of the SER device - but...

OK, so quite possibly...

If uQLX (or QPC on WINE) is run on the rPi AND if there is a 'USB virtual COM Port' driver available for the rPi AND once I've completed the fully OS integrated version (rather than just the SBASIC app available today), then this could be an option

Hi Pete! Possibly - perhaps you could expand your description of the problem you're trying to solve? To hazard a first guess, if the current roadblock is being able to access the files (applications?) on an unexpanded QL due to lack of local modern storage, then yes - if you arrange for the library ...

Hi again Peter - I missed one of your earlier questions... By the way, do you have any plans to make the adapter collaborate with SMSQmulator, which has no direct support for serial ports? My aim has always been to make the solution as universally applicable as feasible, so once I've gotten a workin...

Hi folks - thanks for the encouraging words :-) By the way, what is the reason for the 10K resistor? Hi Peter! - That was an early - and naive - decision when I wasn't yet familiar with the microcontroller and wasn't sure about the effect of any input impedance in to the IO pin. It just worked, so I...

For anyone following this ageing thread, you may be interested in an initial release of the QLUB QLAN to USB Bridge Adapter in the thread viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3590

Hi everyone! I am pleased to announce an early release of the QLAN to USB Bridge 'QLUB' Adapter - as a belated Christmas present to anyone patiently following this project since my first announcement, way back when... Whilst some way off being a finished product, with a couple of months of software ...
