Could QLirc be adapted to be a web browser?

Not directly, no. But I do have longer term plans in that direction!

Very little progress made on QLirc last few weeks due to being so busy. Here's the package as it stands, while I continue to work on it. Connects to QL Forum online chat and other IRC channels on QPC2, and recent versions of QemuLator and sQLux, thanks to the work of Daniele Terdina and Graeme Grego...

Brilliant, brilliant. Tofro always has an answer for all our problems

When saving space, wouldn't a keyboard be even more suitable than a monitor to carry a board? I thought that to be a more convenient place to change (micro)SD cards. I even designed the Qzero to fit two available PS/2 keyboards. That's why it is 2 mm smaller than a RPi Zero. ;) On the other hand, t...

The SD options for the QL are great. They each have different flavors, one purely emulates the microdrives (vDrive) so the QL won't even know it's there (but you lose speed), and the other (QL-SD) is more integrated and requires a bit of mod on the QL but I believe you gain speed and size of image....

Well, I'm still on Derek's waiting list for a Q68, so I can dream. Great that Peter is thinking along these lines with QZero and continuing to develop when he has time. Sounds like it would be small enough to fit inside a modern monitor if we find one with a small amount of free space inside, maybe ...

For anyone interested in how to use assembler to check screen base addresses etc have a look at the source code for my little basic extensions toolkit called Display_cde, on the toolkits page on my site. The extensions show how to check a lot of system information. Norman's DJtoolkit is also a good ...

I think this is the original SuperBASIC program which that page refers to: 100 REMark 1990 Dominic Brown 110 INK#1,7:PAPER#1,2 120 INK#0,4:PAPER#0,0 130 WINDOW#1,480,200,32,16 140 WINDOW#0,480,40,32,216 150 BORDER#1;1,0,7 160 FOR i=0 TO 1:CSIZE#i,1,0 170 DIM x(16),y(16),ram_chip(16) 180 DIM faulty_...

Nice work!

Hi all, I saw on this forum mention of an SD card addon, which sounds amazing... that would be of interest as a way to keep it alive. I think to myself what a different beast the QL would have been back in the day had such technology been available to us then! But I guess it wouldn't have felt anyt...
