The Sinclair QL Forum

Have a look at Qascade and QPacer on the Sinclair QL Homepage too - http://www.dilwyn.me.uk/utils/index.html

QPacer helps you to set up a boot program for QPAC2.

Qascade runs under QPAC2, to provide a functionality similar to the START key on Windows

Louis, on the sellmyretro.com site has been doing some work on QL hardware. He has a second hand Miracle Expanderam, which lacks the case, and when connected to his QLs, he found that there was a lot of interference on the TV picture. To overcome this, he has added a lot of M1 ceramic capacitors to ...

Computer One Assembler is probably the smallest footprint assembler and from memory, it only has one pass!

I think this is down to a bug in q-emulator - suggest you send all files to Daniele Terdina to look at on his test system. I know that Lands of Havoc has a similar issue - move slightly to the right or left and the character disappears. Daniele thought that this was linked to my removal of the copy ...

A customer has been investigating the differences between his issue 5 and issue 6 motherboards in his QLs and believes that there are errors in the Service Manual relating to the issue 6 motherboard. It may also indicate what the HAL chip is for on the issue 6 boards! 1. The circuit diagram shows th...

I have just tried your program using the MGE_ROM, Q-emulator and the DISPLAY_cde from the Sinclair QL Homepage - http://www.dilwyn.me.uk/tk/display2.zip

Maybe the version of display_code you have has a bug (or is a different toolkit)?

Thanks all for the positive feedback - it is always appreciated.

Unfortunately, no, there is nothing stored on the QL to signify where the last file opened was stored - this is partly due to the way in which the operating system's OPEN calls work, because the one call has to cope with any type of object which can be OPENed (or CLOSED). The best way is to do what ...

The problems with the JM ROM are no doubt due to the fact that you cannot generally use a toolkit in the same program which initiates the toolkit on the JM ROM (this was fixed in JS ROM). Hence you may need to have a double boot program - ie. a short program to use RESPR, LBYTES and CALL to link in ...

I don't think there are any user groups in Finland - and I only have 4 QL users on my customer list from Finland. I do think that it will be a steep curve to remove that memory upgrade, as all of the chips have been piggy backed - it is a lot of de-soldering. It might just be easier to get another Q...
