Is there a way to get JS ROM to autoboot like Minerva does? I'm guessing this would have to be a modification withing the ROM itself, no? I posted my ZXSimulator on line ( http://zxsimulator.epizy.com ) and would love it to autoboot but would like to keep that iconic QL bootscreen. You probably hav...

I would be able to read them, but won't probably learn very much from them

This QL on UK eBay has a red sticker on its box that reads: 'Contains New Revised Versions of Psion Application Software'. I'd not seen that before. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sinclair-QL-in-original-box-with-microdrives-tested/303629783444 I suppose that probably indicates that it included the muc...

I can see the QL out performing a 4.77MHz 8088, as that's a 8 bit hobbled 16 bit processor too, but not an AT. Having said that, the PC-XT didn't have to drive the screen and interleave memory as I seem to remember that the MGA or MDA card had its own memory and hardware scrolling, so it would seem...

I've been running uqlx on a Raspberry Pi 3B for over a year now. The 2017 armv7 release from Dilwyn's site will run on the Pi but there is no compiled armv7 binary of the 2018 release. I've managed to compile and run it on the Pi after installing some libraries (notably the SDL2 development). When r...

Same disk drives here with Gold Card. Strange enough, most disks won't format on them in either HD or ED but HD disks formatted as QL disks on a PC are readable and writable on the QL drives. As for QL builds, I have two D15s with Issue 6 board and JS ROMs and two D09s with Issue 5 board and JM ROM ...
