Re: Q68 New users and general usage thread

Thanks. I would think Dilwyn could be asked to host a selection of such Q68 files on his page, as he´s known to be a great QL supporter.

Re: Q68 New users and general usage thread

Would it be possible to make those images available for download (at least for the buyers)?

Re: firmware 1.19 version for Q Disc FDD controller.

I´m still trying to find out how the 0K version of this interface can be successfully equipped with RAM. Do I need a new ROM, PAL chip or both? If so, where to get them? Or does it need a wire link/jumper?

Re: firmware 1.19 version for Q Disc FDD controller.

I also got hold of a PCML Disk Interface. It´s the 0K version with ROM 1.14. The board has sockets for eight RAM chips. After installing suitable chips, no additional RAM gets detected or can be accessed. Do I need a new PAL chip and if so, where to get one (or the file)?

Re: M.C.S Memodisk

Thanks, Derek. You´re right, I more after a manual/leaflet and maybe software, if there was any coming with the interface (which I doubt).

M.C.S Memodisk

I´m looking for any kind of information about the M.C.S Memodisk interface. There´s not much on the internet beside from the article on the QL Wiki and ROMs on Dilwyns pages, but no manual etc.

Any help is very much appreciated.

Re: Q68 New users and general usage thread

My intention never was to criticize anyone. I´d need to criticize myself for not having sufficient background knowledge. For sure, I went through the manual, but still I was struggling. So thanks a lot for all the hints and links. Derek, I think you did great. Showing the capabilities of the machine...

Re: Q68 New users and general usage thread

I would guess that a good amount of the new Q68 users has only basic QDOS knowledge (that includes me) and therefore they struggle a bit with the complexity of this superb machine. A simply how-to in the manual, explaning the steps on how to create a new SD card with content would be a great help.
