Re: Dynamic program loading in SuperBASIC

As the QL does not know the number of lines in the listing until it is fully loaded using a similar mechanism could not be programmed too easily. However, a ROM routine could be incorporated within the LOAD routine to calculate the % loaded based on the byte size of the program / bytes loaded. The o...

LED Cable Clamps

Does anyone have a spare cable clamp for the 6 LED wires - or know of a source?

A customer has just asked me and I don't have one - they are an odd connector

Re: Dynamic program loading in SuperBASIC

That is indeed a very interesting finding - I had not realised that lines without line numbers are executed as soon as the loading process reaches that line. The discussion on the Spanish forums is well worth a read and the uploaded video shows it in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ppv3Ued5jxM

Sorry.
Not in touch with anyone from those days, unless they're on here or Facebook.
Agree it would be cool to put those adventures back in circulation.
Do you recall whereabouts in Scotland they were from? Might help to track them down

Re: QL Cartridges lot on Ebay

Rockfall, Sector X and Squidgy Around the World are all freeware and already on the Sinclair QL Homepage: https://dilwyn.qlforum.co.uk/games/index.html That helps as they are excellent games in my opinion Star Cruiser is also on that page. Aftermath of the Asimovian Disaster appears on https://dilwy...

Re: QL Cartridges lot on Ebay

Recently a large cartridge lot of QL Software was sold on Ebay for a crazy price. It had some titles I have never seen, like Anelpum Quat, Macsporran's Lament, G_G system, Astro, Orbiting stars, Uncle Loonie. By any chance, is the buyer on this forum? s-l1600.png Most of those programs look to be e...

Re: QL Cartridges lot on Ebay

Please do! And post the programs! Thank you! May have to wait until this weekend - I need to dig out the disks and drives and I've got a week from hell, work wise :( Do we know the status of McSporran, in terms of whether we can place it in the wild? Anyone still in touch with the authors? Anelpum ...
