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...

He obviously lost the board he was sent then. That's a different board layout to the one in the article on the RWAP web site too. Maybe the one on there was the issue 1. I'm guessing that it is one and the same Adder, not that that would be any real help. I never had the C1 board - the none working...

I think one of the best games, nearly comparable to other computers (QL does not have hardware comparable to e.g. a C64) was Vroom (a car racing simulation). The graphics was superb (for its time) and IMHO comparable with C64 and Spectrum games. Another game I have liked a lot, was an submarine gam...

Below is a copy from the disk that came with my QXL2 in '96. This SMSQ 2.76 did contain SBasic but not yet the EE part as in later versions. It came pre-configured for different resolutions. The CONFIG should be run under M$DOS to set the QXL.WIN devices but unlike later for QPC2, each .WIN must be...

A customer has a QXL board, but not any of the supporting disks so I was wondering what I need to send him?

After the usual faffing with an original mdv cartridge I have managed to obtain a working dump of 'QL - Expert' by Compware. This title was not on the wiki, so I added it to the Compware list page for now. From the name alone I thought it was some kind of interactive program teaching you how to be ...

I also appear to have a PDF of the manual

I attach a later version of the software from 1988 (v1.12) - as an mdv dump again
