The Sinclair QL Forum

This looks fun. I saw game-play from another platform and it does look challenging. Will try it out!

Is there a site for SMSQzine? I found a few issues on the internet archive.

I have been playing with Abacus and Easel and I must say, even on a 128K machine with microdrives, it works pretty seamlessly. I can only imagine what 512K of memory, Choice, and a RAM disk would do the the experience. I guess I was ignorant of spreadsheets in the early 90s as I might have used Abac...

Does Abacus support the modulus operator? It has an int function and supports exponentiation both using ^ and the exp() function. I've tried all sorts of characters to no avail. I currently am computing a - int(a/n)*n, to compute a mod n, but it would be nicer to simplify it.

So a small update on this. Just spoke to a colleague (a bit older than me) who, in the day, worked for Coleco helping design their version of the stringy floppy. He's going to look into some things I asked him regarding my plan and we may get together to test some things using my Spectrum and the sp...

The one small difference is that the US QL's (as well as some other regions) don't seem to give a color composite signal on pin 1. Instead, it just outputs 5 volts. You can grab the composite off of the MC1...

That I don't know yet...It'll be a few weeks before it gets here.

Finally found the time to order a nice D-Sub hood for my miniaturized version. Type Conec 16-001810E. It has an optional side cable exit, the cable relief for it should be filed off a little. With the circuit fitted, it looks like this: qlminivga_case.jpg And the completed QL to VGA adaptor cable: ...
