https://superbasic-manual.readthedocs.io/en/latest/C/check.html Thats what I was thinking of! Yes that could be done, but I would have to load DJTK. The PTY idea, could work, since I do not use Windows. My current solution of testng UQLX_RELEASE$ for string. a null string wod mean it is not sQLux o...

Hi, Just another thought, why not use QD to write the SBASIC programme, so that line numbers are not required. To run the programme, configure QD to use QD/SBAS to call SBASIC interpreter, by pressing F10 Also, if you have the Help system setup, pressing F1 on the keyboard will load the definition o...

Hi, I read in Andrew Pennell's book Assembley Language on the QL, there is an attempt at a Superbasic Trace routine. The ability to single step and trace a SBASIC programme, seems to be lacking, which if implemented woukd be a great enhancement to SBASIC. I suppose, I can use MasterBasic, which work...

Hi, I use SMSQ/E in QPC2, SMSQmulator and sQLux using the same QLWA container, so the boot file selects the extenstions to be loaded, based on the VER$ being equal to 'HBA' and the SMSQ/E MACHINE function. If sQLux is running, I use the UQLX_RELEASE$ to load sQLux extensions, is there a better way t...

Hi If the power supply is okay, try measuring the 7805 Voltage regulator ouput voltage, or try a new voltage regulator, that is faulty. The QL is not prone to capacitor ptoblems, but changing them would hurt. I looked at the Keelog power supplies, they look good, maybe a little on the expensive side.

Hi, SSB first appeared in 1997, Tim, wrote about it in the QL Hackers Journal vol1, you can get the QLHJ from his web site: http://swensont.epizy.com Also checkout SMSQZINE Vol8 Environmental Variables extension, ENV.BIN is included in the C68 package. I have used Environmental Variables since 1990s...

HI, Well done, in my experience t is usually a cabling issue that causes the problem in serial comms. The vDriveQL is commerical and closed source. The Oqtadrive is open source, which does the same thing, but can use a Raspberry PI W or BannaPI to connect to the Microdrive imagies on the Oqtadrive, ...

Hi Martin,

I was looking at those functions to develop a software distribution for the Q68 using FDI or MDI images.

Hi, Here is the completed book: alpsql.pdf ALPSQL.zip Please bear in mind that the book was written on the rel;ease of the QL, when on FB Roms were available and there has been many bug fixes since then. I have tested the SuperBASIC listing of the Disassembler in Superbasic: JS,JM, Minerva v1.98 and...

Hi Peter, Thank you for the input, I am just exploring possible options that have been offerred as a solution to the case design. I would like to keep the original case size, but there is no room for the QL Netork Connectors on the Back Panel. I have produced a solution, where the 2 x QL Network con...
