The Sinclair QL Forum

Hi all, I'm thinking of buying a QL. My hardware is in storage in Sweden but I'm located in Asia and wont be going to Europe anytime soon. Since i have no clue, I want to ask, what is a resonable price for a QL and where is the safest place to buy one? Any suggestions are most welcome. I hope the qu...

It shouldn't actually be too hard to port it to any other fpga board. Only a few things would have to be changed. Mainly the rom/tape upload which is currently done using the arm io controller would have to me replaced. Since most other FPGA boards contain flash memory it'd probably easiest to use ...

Till uses MiST, his own design. MiST can be bought here: http://lotharek.pl/product.php?pid=96 (Or, if you want, you can build one yourself...) An exhaustive description is here: https://code.google.com/p/mist-board/wiki/WhatIsThis Tobias Ah, that's Altera fpga. Ok, perhaps i should buy one. One mo...

Wow! Great work!

Did you use a development board, or design your own? Which fpga?

Hi, just want to post some update on progress. I found a lot more information by reading the Minerva 1.98 source. It's quite well documented and structured. I realize that this is the way to go to reach higher level of hw-compatibility. I'm not sure though, how much the minerva differs from the JM r...

Hi eller hej, I already have an potential buyer here in Finland. Shipping this thing to the Philippines might also be a bit too expensive ;) Included in the original box is the computer, a 230V power supply, all other original cables, a Backgammon microdrive game and possibly some other micrdrive t...

*KUDOS* Thanks Tobias, this was exactly what i was looking for! What you wrote corresponds quite well with the code in qlay. Now i finally have enough understanding to fix the bugs :-) All this knowledge that you (and others out there) have about the QL should really be stored in a Wiki for future a...

Yes, I read that thread, not much information. I do wonder how Jan V. and the others who wrote the simulators figured out how those parts work. They most probably didn't :) As said above - If you intercept the read and write calls in the OS while this is still working on sector read/write level, yo...

Hi,

I might be interested. I'm Swedish, but lives in the Philippines since many years. If you're willing to ship it here (or if you by any chance have your way here) it could be a deal.

What's included?

Cheers,
Mike

Mike, most known details about the 8302 (e.g. register mappings,...) are collected in this forum in this thread: http://qlforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=894 Tobias Thanks, Yes, I read that thread, not much information. I do wonder how Jan V. and the others who wrote the simulators figured out ...
