Re: Best programming books?

I don't want to blow my own trumpet, but a lot of people think that the best reference for SuperBASIC is the SBASiC/SuperBASIC Reference Manual - see: http://www.sellmyretro.com/offer/details/SBASIC%25SuperBASIC-Reference-Manual-for-Sinclair-QL-on-CD-2329 Must be dead tree version. I don't get on w...

Re: Reverse engineering rare hardware

There is definitely a market for disk interfaces out there. At the moment, this is what is really holding back the QL - whilst the ZX81 and Spectrum have seen a huge resurgence in interest and new software, this has mainly been driven by the availability of disk interfaces (be it IDE interfaces, SD ...

Re: Seen on eBay

That is well over-priced - love how it's described as lots of software, but basically looks to be the Psion software and some cartridges with BASIC on it. I always have reasonably priced QLs available - just have no time to test and list them on SellMyRetro !! As for the D16 - all it means is that t...

Re: QL Show 13th / 14th April 2013

One problem is phpBB is not intended for or set up for storing files and software. There are a few solutions to this - some deeply technical like running a shared RADIUS authentication server, but others could be quite simple. One idea is to have a global username and password, updated annually and...

Re: QL Is 30

Would love to have suggestions of other venues as I am not certain that Snibston is the best venue - especially as they seem to lack a small room in which to hold intimate talks and the Quanta AGM (maybe the AGM could be in the pub afterwards?) It's not so much as just wanting Quanta's money for the...

Re: QL Is 30

I have already made some suggestions and contacted a few people who may be able to provide talks - I think that it should not be an event run by Quanta, but one sponsored by Quanta. It makes sense to hold it as part of another wider event too - I would like it to be a "Sinclair Celebration Even...

Re: Looking for a QL serial cable

I have several if you need one (presuming you mean from the BT style serial ports on a QL) - I have 25 pin and 9 pin cables - £5 plus postage.
