Re: Is it time for a Sinclair Next (QL+) machine and QL Linux? To honor Sir Clive's wishes?
Hi, The Q68 is a standalone QL compatible single board computer, as is the Qzreo. I produce the Q68, from Peter's design files.

Re: Space Invaders Game Released
HI,
Great game, works perfectly on the Q68 no need to slow the game down.
I load the game from a FLP image from a FAT partition on a SD Card with FDI loaded to and configured as FLP1, all works great.
Just need a Joystick on the Q68, maybe that will come in the future...

Hi,
while soft loading Toolkit 2 is a reasonable thing to do, how do you know whether Toolkit 2 is not already on the system the game is being played?

Re: Sick Q68
Hi, Whiles the faster SD Card access for the Q68 was a good idea, the feature has caused all sort of problems. Maybe should of not been made available till better testing had been done. I should also remind everyone, that downloading a new copy of SMSQ/E requires configuration of the config blocks. ...
Re: Sick Q68
Hi Derek, thanks for the quick reply, I can send you the Q68, it's still in the box you sent it to me in. Maybe you can 'repair' it and sell it to a deserving member. I have various other projects running at the moment so it's not a problem if you do that. For one of these projects I require a ql c...

Re: Sick Q68
HI Ian,
I am sorry that your Q68 is not recognising SD Cards, I can have a look at this problem of you want to return the Q68 to me.
I can also offer a QL Case, with new keyboard Membrane, if you do not want to have the Q68 repaired.

Re: QSTAR 2
Hi, I always create ZIP files with ACP (Archive Control Panel) in a QL environment, with the files stored in a QWA container, which QPC2, SMSQmulator, Qemulator, sQLux all strip off the the executable header, leaving the correct executable header. The zip files should be uncompressed to a QL contain...
