The Sinclair QL Forum

HI BSRJ! Thanks - all good info, though I was actually looking for the Monitor pinout to know 'where' the Intensity bit is output (got that now, too!) Meanwhile, I've finally fitted the replacement PSU and checked all good power to the 2x boards, but the system doesn't come up (yet.) ICs get warm to...

Thanks Desin!

Yes, that's pretty much the same set of docs I've researched thus far.

Still missing a User Manual and any low level Technical documentation on the Thor-16.

Will keep on looking

Oh, brilliant! Thank you, saves me messing about tracing each signal :-) If you happened to have any other technical or user documentation in the -16 and would be willing/able to share at some stage, I'd be very grateful! I'm almost ready to fire it up forget first time - hoping the significant corr...

Thanks for the tip, Derek. Yes, had looked there as well - all Thor-1/20/21 related materials.

I'm looking for a User Manual and any technical/schematic documentation, having trawled and found all the usual ava...

Hi Martin

No, I didn't...

Hi everyone! Thanks to Leon's incredible perseverance, I was able to test his latest (S)GC compatible update to the basic CPLD-based 8301 ULA replacement. I'm delighted to report that it works a treat on my (Tetroid cloned) Gold and Super Gold cards once reprogrammed! I am yet to explore the optiona...

Hi Tony! Thanks for sharing your work on this useful utility. Please do post your latest Launcher code as it stands - between us, we can either tune it to our particular file layouts or make it configurable :-) I've had ideas and half written routines to present a slightly more graphical launcher, w...

Great to see you back, Dave!

I always enjoy your deep technical analysis and clear explanations

Hoping you are in good health...
