Thor,
and if you're in need of a manual, the keywords and concepts sections for QPC2 that you can find on Marcel's site (http://www.kilgus.net/qpc/QPC_Keywords.pdf) are, in most cases, also applicable to a standard QL.

Re: Java Emulator
I have extensive Java experience and /some/ QL emulation experience - If you need help for a specific problem, please go ahead and contact me - However, I'm lacking another important factor, which is time - So I can't promise immediate help in each and every case.
Cheers

Re: Linux emulator uQLx "on a stick"
Gents, well: Been there, tried it. Failed. Current uQLX doesn't seem to run (yes, it does build) on ARM Linux. (I have a Genesi Arm Smartbook, a fine (and particularily affordable) piece of ARM hardware, that I intend to use as portable QL replacement. I got uQLX to come up with an initial screen, b...

Re: Roguelike games on the QL?
Did the QL ever have any ports of roguelike games such as nethack, angband or omega? The machine has loads of great text adventures but short on RPG's. These games would be perfect for the QL. Actually Rogue (which is basically a clone of nethack ) for the QL does exist (or used to) - Have a look o...

Re: Newbie.. on Sinclair QL...
Even better: It runs perfectly well without QPAC2.RWAP wrote: Qascade runs under QPAC2,
It does need QPTR, however.
Easy to become confused with all those Qs

Re: Newbie.. on Sinclair QL...
Well, in short: QPAC2 is a must in a QL environment and you did right to go that way. It is, however, admittedly bad documented with regards to allowing a novice user to get into grips with the software. QPAC2 doesn't do /anything/ once you LRESPRed it - You must bind the functions to Hotkeys in ord...

Re: How to know the device of the last file loaded?
Then you might want to have a look into the HOME_DIR, etc. extensions. Those are part of SMSQ/E, but should also be available as a separate toolkit.
HOME_DIR in a BASIC program evaluates to my knowledge to the drive and directory this parogram was loaded from.

Re: How to know the device of the last file loaded?
Something you can do in any case if you want to know the device you've BOOTed from: Make a list of all valid BOOT devices (like mdv1_, flp1_, win1_, rom1_, [are there more? I can't think of any, currently. I also think there's no device type that could actually BOOT from any but the first device]) I...

Re: Connector pinout
Is there any simple way to localise different sources of error? Andi, you could try a serial port monitor on the PC to analyze what's going wrong, e.g. http://www.heise.de/software/download/free_serial_port_monitor/26030 From what you describe, I guess you got the handshake lines wrong. Try again w...
