The Sinclair QL Forum

Hi, It seems the QLTERM does not work in way I suggested, it sets the QL serial port speed to the same speed as the modem connect speed. The QLTerm manual says that the QL Baud Rate can be set in the terminal preferences, by pressing I So set the QL Baud Rate to 9600, Modem type buffered, serial por...

Hi, Another solution would be to connect the Raspberry Pi to the QL data bus, so that the Raspberry Pi could be a co-processor to the QL. The main problem, is writing the device drivers, on the QL and maybe bare metal code on the Pi. Sort of like the BBC Tube interfacd for the QL, which maybe as rea...

Hi,

Maybe there is problems with the floppy disk cable connecting to the QL, if it is gge wrong way around, all the data lies lines will be grounded. Usually the Disk Drive LEDs are both on.

Check that the drives are correctly connected in the floopy disk case.

Hi, I think you're all getting the Serial port Baud rate confused with the Modem connect speed The serial port on the QL, usually SER2, should have it's Baud rate set to the highest reliable speed. Which could be 9600 Baud, using the BAUD command: BAUD 2,9600 This sets the data speed from computer t...

Hi Martyn,

Hi,

I wonder if the video signal comming out of the VGA socket on thd Q60 board could be fed into a dedicated video processing circuit to changed the required sync signsls of the Q60 into the required signals for a modetn VGA monitor.

Which assume is what the OSSC does.

Blessed are the nay-sayers for the future is theirs! (Or is it?) In the mean time we wait for some test results from Derek. See where we go from there.. Sorry, a little delay, had some other problems to attend to. My house Electric circuit breakers kept on tripping. The fault was traced to Clothes ...

Hi,

If you can type AT and get OK back, the modem is connected to the computer correctly.

You can get information of the modem configuration and connections using the ATI command.

Type: ATIx where x = 0 to 3

i.e. AT0 or ATI1

The sparse manual says AT? gives list of the commands.

Hi,

Can you try switching off the local echo, with ATE0

Also try AT? for a list of the commands.

This is guesswork, as I do no have this modem.
