Hi,

The problem maybd related to the broken pin on the Minerva.

But Minerva should improve the Microdrive access, as AH rom is full of bugs.

Do you have the 2 resistors on top of the 8302? This improves the microdrive reliabiliy.

But if the program was written in the emulator and saved in a QL environment, this problem would not occurr. This program was written and zipped in a QL Environment. Some other user modified it outside the QL. When I write small programs I use a Ql environment. But when I write larger programs I pr...

Hi, A silly question, why not write the basic programs in the QL emulator as Toolkit 2 ED is a really good screen editor? A simple answer, because ED can't convert CR/LF line endings to LF, which was the point of Andrew's proposal. OK, good pint well made... But if the program was written in the em...

Hi,

I have been wrestling with awlful OSX operating, not impressed by Apple's interptretation of UNIX.

So the Mac Mini made see MorphOS loaded on, or sold eBay

Hi Martyn, The Altera EP1810LC-25T fitted to the QXL cards is rated to run at a maxiumum speed of 50Mhz. I think overclocking the QXL by putting an Oscillator of a greater clock speed of 50Mhz will cause the EP1810 to shut down or become too hot to run. I thought about fitting a 68RC060RC50 CPU with...

Hi, There was a M212 Transputer Hard Disc intrface for the QL featured in Quanta Volume 6 Issue 1, 2 The circuit diagram was printed in the Volume 6 Issue 2 magazine. I wrote to the designer, asking to support his development or possibily sell me one. But he never wrote back, I bought a Miracle hard...

Hi,

Just downloaded the Git Hub zio file, quite big program.

Writing in assembler was just wild idea... maybe C is better.

Can this be compiled with C68 instead of GCC?

Hi,

Can this program not be written in assembler saving a lot of space and increasd in speed.

I want to do more programming, so will have a look at this...

Hi Peter,

Sounds like this has already been done in the Gold Card, so I will stick to that.
