Re: Lunar lander and UDG generally

On the QL, "everything is floating". That means that POKEing to fixed addresses is potentially dangerous. Your POKE in line 810 pokes to memory in the free memory area of the QL . This might or might not be what you assume (you seem to assume that it's a font address in a channel definitio...

Cool. Which network driver do you use?
Martin's. But as NTP is using UDP, Wolfgang's might possibly work as well - Haven't tried, though.

Higher traps on Q68

On QPC and my QLs, I'm using TRAP #15 instructions with beacon strings to trap into QMON. This works nicely: When QMON sees a TRAP 15, it will break the program at the current PC (I'm using macros to create a TRAP #15 and strings to show me where I am). This, unfortunately, does not work on my Q68 (...

Re: QIMSI

Indeed. I have been using that one for a long time, until I moved all my QLs to SMSQ/E. It basically behaves the same as the history device in the newer OS (some marginal differences that you need to get used to). Recommended. These are indeed "must haves" for non-SMS systems, as long as ...

Re: TK2 and RAM disk

QJump have always sold their RAM disk as a separate product, "ramprt" (Also includes a print spooler). It just got mixed up with Toolkit 2 over time because many disk interfaces simply included both. If anyone wants to use ramprt (as the most "original" RAM disk), it is included ...

Re: QIMSI

Could you provide a link, please? I see PTH on Dilwyn's site ( https://dilwyn.qlforum.co.uk/tk/pth.zip ) but it does not seem to include a commandline history extension. Nope! The "history device" is not from Phil Borman but from Boris Jaubith, Berlin (friend of mine). You will find it on...

Re: RTC Query

There seem to be simple I2C-to-RS232 adapters that allow you to connect I2C devices to RS232 serial interfaces. Here's a link to such an adapter kit: https://www.horter-shop.de/de/i2c-pc-adapter/41-bausatz-i2c-rs232-koppler-4260404260547.html (Note I haven't tried wether that works with the QL, but ...

Re: The MEM Device

Sometimes, apparently, problems need to sink in deeply for a while until they collide with something else in my memory that happens to be the solution. Same case here, I totally forgot about NASERVE until a small LED went blinking in my brain: With regards to the MEM device and security concerns (ov...
