Hi,

Thanks, I forgot that qdos-gcc is really C68.

I will have learn POSIX programming, seems I am always learning new topics.

Hi, This is a Hermes replacement IPC for the 8049 chip in all standard QLs, the components on the chip are the circuit for CAPSLED, see forum thread: https://www.qlforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3751&hilit=Capslock#p41027 Which gives the QL a Caps Lock LED and also flashes the LED when the ...

Hi, I tried to compile sqlite-amalgamation 3380000 with qdos-gcc in the docker implementation of qdos-gcc, which gave 2 error messages saying some libraries are missing: sys/resources.h sys/mman.h since the sqlite amalgation compiles in the modern GCC, I assume the the above libraries are missing fr...

Hi, All sorted now, I forgot all about comms cable. But looking at the QTPI documentation this defines what is required SER2 DB9 1. GND 5. GND 2. TxD 3. TxD 3. RxD 2. RxD 4. DTR 7. RTS 5. CTS 8. CTS 6. NC note QL Pin 4 is actually a RTS rather than a DTR. I connected this cable from a Trump Card QL ...

Hi

I have 10 v1.2b external Oqtadrive units to build, I have had 5 cases 3D Printed.

I will get one made to see how they do.

I will look at getting some internal Oqtadive PCBs made.

Hi, What is the best SER2 to Simulant WIFI Modem? I note on eBay, that a SER2 to DB9 cable is; SER2 DB9 1. GND 5. GND 2. TxD 3. TxD 3. RxD 2. RxD 4. DTR 4. DTR 5. CTS 6. CTS 6. 12v 9. RI Maybe this changes should be made: SER2 DB9 1. GND 5. GND 2. TxD 3. TxD 3. RxD 2. RxD 4. DTR 4. CTS 5. CTS 6. RTS...

Hi, What I meant to say was that if a SBASIC programme is loaded into QD and executed with SBAS/QD, the interpreter will open a channel: 256x62a128x96 to use the default channel number in the SBASIC statements. For exaample: PRINT "Hello World" PAUSE will produce a small channel opened to ...

Hi, I usually load the basic programme into QD and have to add an OPEN command to the console for any access to channels 0-2, for the programmes to run under SBAS/QD. This is because there is access to channels #1,#2 by the programme, SBAS only opens a single channel, if the programme has not define...

Hi

I can read the PDF files on my mobile phone. But usually use a 10" Tablet to read manuals.

I reaaly like the QBITS manuals , very written.
