Re: Q68 Advance Notice

Hi, During the last weekend dex was kind enough to let me use his Q68 for the whole two days, and I came to the conclusion that I want one. And because it was quite a big computer event, the person sitting next to me had the same opinion. Derek, please, would it be possible to get two from the next...

Hi,

All that is required is connect the QL to a Linux computer by serial ports, running TCPSER which configures the Serial port as a Hayes Modem.

Or use a WIFI modem with a QL serial lead, all works perfectly.

Re: Lunar lander and UDG generally

Hi, I tired the game in sQLux and Q-emulator, the UDGs are not defined if the RAM s greater than 256K. Lunar.png The actual programme does not run very well, i fact I would say the author does not understand the QL graphics setup, he is poke-ing into the channel table, which, is no a good idea. It w...

Re: Can a QL do donkey Kong sounds?

You could look at this web site:https://mrcook.uk/arcade-game-source-code


The challenge would be to convert the Z80, 6502 or other CPU to 68000. Then make run on a QL.

Re: QL2k speed change

Or use sQLux, sQLay3, all work with every version of QDOS rom.

sQLux has a Slug command to allow the emulator down.

There are free, but Q-emulatoris good as well, registration is well worth the money.

Re: Most probably the smallest "QL" ever!

But importation into the EU would probably require an extra 20% on top.
