Re: rgbtohdmi

Thanks both.
Yep, you have to supply your own Zero, which are as rare as hens' teeth at the moment and are advertised accordingly on ebay. Thankfully I've still got a few in my junk box. I've been very impressed with RGBTOHDI for my dragons and orics, good to know it's also a solution for the QL.

rgbtohdmi

Although I have an OSSC which produces an excellent and correct display with the QL, i.e. a display where the first two columns of the default window appear as expected, I was thinking about getting an RGBTOHDMI as a fall-back. Does anyone happen to know whether the RGBTOHDMI, unlike some other conv...

Re: Norm's "mere" woman sentence.

I've not read the relevant exchanges and am just picking up on a sentiment written above. I completely agree, emoticons are the slippery slope to typing 'LOL'. They're completely unnecessary if a reader starts from the basis that people are generally nice and have been known to make jokes. You can a...

Re: Presidential Pardon

I'll take that pardon. I'm in the middle of coding some hires (320x200) non-sprite graphics routines. No, I really am.

RdeG-H

When I joined the forum one of the things I said that I might do was convert a FORTH I'd written (FIF) on the Atari ST to the QL. Well, I finished it a while ago, but had a change of plan. Whereas the Atari FIF is all my own work this latest one isn't quite. I'd always enjoyed FORTH on the BBC micro...

Re: I hate BREXIT !

I don't normally go in for political discussions, but there have been interesting and differing views expressed in this thread. I guess we could ask a 100 different people for their views and get 100 different replies and opinions (at least!). If you think this has been good I'm sure they'll be mov...
