The Sinclair QL Forum

Good find. I'm happy to put in a modest bid for this, though there may be a risk that people on this forum start bidding against each other. Is there anyone that is particularly keen to get the original Microdrive, manual and packaging? If so, I don't want to bid against them, as I'm just interested...

Do I recall reading somewhere that around 100,000 QL's were sold in UK in first year of production? Surely some of them would want a bit of downtime playing games.

Let's be more ambitious - 1,500?

Hi Simon,

Have you had a chance to scan the Computer One FORTH manual? If you're busy, I am happy to scan it on your behalf.

Thanks again,
George.

Is there a straightforward way to transfer code (such as SuperBASIC listings) between a QL and GitHub - e.g. is importing/ exporting ASCII source reliable?

Hi Tofro,

Thanks for that. I'm using a standard QL, with a Trump card, so will experiment with pth_ and dev_ options. Looks good.

Thanks again,
George.

Hi everyone, I've been experimenting with the support for directories in the Toolkit II extension. The underlying reason is that I want to make more efficient use of floppy diskettes, which have around 7-times the capacity of Microdrive cartridges, by storing multiple programs on the same diskette. ...

Happy Birthday to RWAP, and thanks for all your help and advice to get me set up with a QL system and software. Having spent my first year of QL-ing taking from the community, hopefully I can start helping others going forwards.

Hi Simon,

Have you had any time to look at the C1 FORTH manual? If not, (Derek or) I would be willing to scan/ OCR on your behalf, if that would help.

Thanks again,
George

One option would be to set up Unzip in a QL emulator, on your PC, and then transfer the unzipped files one-by-one via the serial interface. You would need an emulator that supports both expanded-memory modes and that interfaces to the serial port hardware on your PC. Something like Q-Emulator [http:...
