The Sinclair QL Forum

I (Brian Watson) wrote Success. If anyone has an mdv image of it, I'd appreciate a copy. I lost my copy a long time ago. I'm planning on disassembling and commenting the code. It wasn't very long. Freddy Vaccha likely has a copy of the source. I don't have any contact info for him. Hi Brian, It is ...

Simon,

I have an original listed on sellmyretro - https://www.sellmyretro.com/offer/detai ... soft-62478
I can also supply the q-emulator version to go with that boxed version, although it will not work with dates post 2000

On the subject of programs - does anyone have any information / ROM cartridge images for any sofware that provides serial interface for the ICL OPD? I know there was the 64180 based CPM module which supported disks and a serial port, I also know there was a unit based on a 80C31 which provided a DB...

I assume when the OP turns on the QL, both microdrives spin up. I have had this before - but in my case, there was no TV output and the microdrive units run endlessly. That is normally a ZX8302 fault from memory. It is quite normal for the left hand microdrive to spin up temporarily, but it should s...

I have a copy. The disks seem readable. Are you looking for a zipped copy of the contents?

Cheers

Yes a zipped copy would be fine thanks - it would be good to get this released into the public domain at some point!

Does anyone have the software for the Fractal Collection published by QBranch?

I have the manual here, but no software - it was written by Mark Knight and George Gwilt, so I am hoping George should have a copy!

I did get some labels produced, but they are a bit of a nightmare - they are not properly cut and there is no useful template for printing on them.

Tony - I will send you a couple of sets in the New Year as a late Xmas present

Unfortunately they're just user guides and not the technical documentation, which was classed as a company secret by ICL, so only a poorly scanned copy with pages missing exists,

Have you looked at the field notes etc on https://www.rwapsoftware.co.uk/oneperde ... _info.html

My apologies, it seems I have the QLP Ugrade for MicroPeripherals v1.24, as a ROM image, but it is still copyright as detailed earlier.

I doubt Tony Tebby would mind it being sent by pm as Chr$ does have the original box and manual

Yes, I think it must be copy protected and will only run from the original mdv, so copying files to floppy or vDrive won't work. My dump of it works fine on qemulator with it 'inserted' into mdv1. I think it also worked on the BBQL, but I haven't tried it for a while and tend to dump everything wit...
