The Sinclair QL Forum

Hi,

Probably, it is possible to connect a Raspberry Pi or PiStorm to the Tetroid Gold Card. But since due the issues of export from Russia, there may not be any Tetroid Gold Cards for a long time.

Maybe a more interesting idea would be to adapt the PiStorm to the QL CPU socket.

Hi,

I checked my Tetroid Gold Card, which does have a 68000 in a PLCC socket.

So maybe this could be done,if the FPGA code for the PiStorm could be modified for the QL.

Hi,

Looks great, excellent software, as usual from Martin.

I was going to assemble similar boards as Prof mentioned to emulate TF Services I2C interfaces.

Hi,

How are you going to connect the DIP64 to the QL DIP48 CPU socket?

The CPU in the Gold Card is a PLCC Gull Wing Chip soldered to the PCB, a PLCC socket would be hard fit onto the CPU.

The PIStorm FPGA code would have to rewritten to suit the QL. Looks a hard job.

Hi, I used Lumberg 3.5" Jack Connectors: QLNET_Connector_Drawing.pdf Lumberg_Jack connector.pdf There needs to be a switch on the connector Hi Derek I see the lumberg jack connector you previously used are now not available. Can you suggest any alternatives? Hi, I got some similiar on eBay, wh...

Hi Keith,

I should have the Q68 shipping by the end of October.

Hi, There little movement to make the Pistorm rum on the Atar ST, which has the same CPU as the Amiga A500. There is another Pi accelerator called the Phantom-X for the X68000, which a link to the Atari Forum details this: https://www.exxoshost.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5257 There is a link to the...

Hi Stephan,

Thank you for a good description.

Hi

Just watched your Forth vids, very well done.

I dabble in Forth, but would not say I am proficient in Forth programming, I like to try.

Hi,

I little silly question, if the QL Base is flashed with the German keyboard layout and the operating is SMSQ/E and the operating system keyboard and language is changed to another language with: LANG_USE and KBD_TABLE commands, to something like French, how does the QL Base react?
