Re: QL/E

The next update of QL/E is in the making, but already quite a bit behind my original schedule. The number of SMSQmulator and SMSQ/E updates plus the release of uQLx 2017 hit me. Here's a sneak peek of new desktop wallpapers. This time snow birds.

Re: uQLx 2017

Played with it today. Have some questions, maybe some findings.

Where do you want me/us to ask questions or report findings/bugs?

E-Mail? To who?

Forum thread?

Forum PM?

Re: QL/E

QL/E v3.15 runs nicely under uQLx 2017, even in standard QL resolution and with JS ROM.

All one has to do is to replace the uqlx.win file with a renamed (to uqlx.win) copy of QLE.win.

Thanks to Graeme, Timothy, Rob and volunteers for bringing uQLx back!

QL forever!

Re: UQLX with BDI / QL-SD support

Is it only me or is it true that all the old uQLx distributions plus the two above are not able to be installed and run on recent Linux systems (modern HW platforms, recent 32-bit or 64-bit Linux distributions). I one says one or the other uQLx distribution works could he or she provide an understa...

Re: ZX8301 explored - facts and figures

This is great! Do you think the pictures will allow to infer the schematics? Thanks! Intention is to 1) visualise the die surface in high resolution, 2) analyse and compare the two mask revisions, 3) reverse engineer the chip. Yesterday I restarted the 2014 initiated microscope job. I’ve added a ph...
