Minerva 1.98 works perfectly with QemuLator! The matter has been dealt with before. See my posts under the topic Software & Programming/Minerva Assembly (or http://www.qlforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1234#p10194) I dont know if a ready assembled ROM image, suitably prepared for QemuLator, ...

Nice one, Dilwyn. Thanks Bo)

I see you request help with proof reading. I could do the Archive manual if you like. You have my email address..

Marcos, I dont have a compact package of the Dates sources available, only an HTML-ised, browsable version. I could always ask Dilwyn if he has room for them (40Kb) on his site.. In the mean time, if you - or anyone else - PM me, I could send them to you directly.

I have experimented with using SBASIC daughter jobs to do useful stuff, and was going to publish an article on it in a recent Quanta. But Ive held back as I dont like the way listings are rendered in the mag at present. Below is a much earlier attempt to explore the concept. Things have moved on sin...

Martin, I did not stress test the FDI driver or push against the edges, but I was able to EXecute, Load and Save to the drive on QPC without problems. Hopefully more feedback will come.. (In the QL world, no news is assumed to mean good news, as people are quick to point out errors but determinedly ...

Tim, According to the documentation (both for QL and QPC2) the permitted range for COS is given as -10000..10000 radians. Sine and cosine are periodic functions with period 2π. For angles < −2π or > +2π you could continue to rotate around the circle: cos(θ) = cos(θ + 2πk) for any angle θ and any int...

I checked the source code, and I had not allowed for an attempt to mount to, an already mounted image file. It should not be a problem to sort out, and to give an 'in use' error if you try to do it. Id reserve the In Use error for the case when one tries to unmount an image when there are still fil...

Its years ago since I experimented with (virtual) device drivers under Qdos, so I write in the capacity of an ancient user and not one of the cognoscenti. I vaguely remember trying to tunnel between my driver and another driver using normal Qdos channels and I/O calls but didnt get it to work. To me...

Looks great, Martin :) I just had a quick fiddle at this point; everything seems to work as advertised, at least on QPC. However, on stressing things a little, I find a few anomalies: I notice that whenever a drive is mounted a channel to the image file gets opened. This channel does not appear to b...
