The Sinclair QL Forum

Hey guys I have a question. I'd like to write something on Quill and then get it on my Windows PC. From my knowledge of the QL, the only way I can do this is by saving to floppy and then loading in to an emulator. Is that right? or is there an alternative I'm not aware of? My QL is running standard ...

At the moment that's how I'm getting files on the QL. Using the emulator to unpack and write data to floppy.

I wasn't able to get unzip to work on my QL, would seem I need toolkit.

Well let me phrase it another way :D Can a 512kb expanded QL with a floppy drive, be configured to read dos floppy disks? Glad to be on the forum, my passion is old computers and the QL is certainly a unique machine. I'm still not sure how much use I'll get out of one, but I have it set up on my des...

So recently I got my hands on a reasonable amount of QL gear and started on my journey of discovery. Facing the ups and downs of using a QL. Initially my experience with microdrive cassettes wasn't that bad, most of mine worked. Then after a week I noticed not all of them were working properly and t...

Right well I have some news First the command EW FLP1_UNZIP;'-d FLP2_ FLP1_EXAMPLE_ZIP' Does not work on my QL, it doesn't seem to know what I'm talk about. Where as it worked fine in the emulator QPC 4.04. At the moment I'm having a devil of a time getting things to run. I extracted 3d tictactoe, ...

Roger that! I'm about to play Golf!

I'm an Amiga user, do i have DD disks? Does a Lemming like cliff?? :D I have successfully transfered 3dtictatoe over to my QL. I cheated by making a virtual floppy in QPC and copy the disk contents over. I then formatted the original floppy and copied everything back over. I think the floppy drive w...

Thank you for all of this info! I can confirm that mine is a JM. Are gold cards something that can still be bought? I noticed the SD card adapters, but it looks like those have dried up. I have to say I really dislike the mircodrives, I've a handful of cassettes and they are so unreliable. Reading o...
