Re: My rare old QL version AH

I wonder if the labelling on the "8049" implies it could be one of the replacement 8049 chips, such as the Schön one? They were intended as anti- keybounce replacements for some keyboards. Had side effect of affecting serial comms in some ways. Very interesting. Where could I get more inf...

Re: QL Games

I think there was a sprites system from Herbert Zens somewhere on my pages, probably tucked away on the Sprites page IIRC. I remember seeing another early system which I intended to put on my site, but lost the files. It was probably on a CGH Services PD disk, or probably on the QLPD CDR. I can't re...

Re: QL Games

I've never really been much of a game player. The only games I've really played all my life are the likes of Space Invaders, maze games, some card games, the occasional chess or draughts (checkers) and a few word-games. Two of my favourite QL games were The Wall by Wolfgang Lenerz, and the Jewels ga...

Re: In the market

The notes against this on my Archivers page state: Unzip 096 - An older, smaller version of Unzip which may run on an unexpanded QL. You may need to use the QZ utility available on this page from the same author to adapt some DOS .zip files (see notes in QZ package regarding MSDOS filenames, for exa...

Re: Fleet Tactical Command II. Data Print Utility

I used to sell this back in the DJC days. It came in a big box about the size of a ream of paper. It came with protractors, charts, pencils, all sort of things. I never actually played it, though (DJC took too much time so I rarely got to use or write software) :cry: There's a demo version at https:...

Re: In the market

Could you package it up to add to my site, please Per. Or let me know which compiler it was with.

There is Unzip 0.96 on my site's Archivers page, which is already suitable for 128K systems. Would be good to have a choice.

Re: In the market

Seems a bit counter-intuitive doesn't it to make something into a BASIC program just to get it from one computer to another? A few years ago I had a light-bulb moment when it occurred to me that what I thought at the time to be a silly idea, converting executable programs to BASIC programs, could he...
