Re: both microdrives start running at ql power-on
I assume when the OP turns on the QL, both microdrives spin up. I have had this before - but in my case, there was no TV output and the microdrive units run endlessly. That is normally a ZX8302 fault from memory. It is quite normal for the left hand microdrive to spin up temporarily, but it should s...

Fractal Collection by QBranch
Does anyone have the software for the Fractal Collection published by QBranch?
I have the manual here, but no software - it was written by Mark Knight and George Gwilt, so I am hoping George should have a copy!

Re: New Labels for MDV's?
I did get some labels produced, but they are a bit of a nightmare - they are not properly cut and there is no useful template for printing on them.

Have you looked at the field notes etc on https://www.rwapsoftware.co.uk/oneperde ... _info.htmlstephen_usher wrote: ↑Fri Dec 22, 2023 4:25 pm Thanks.
Unfortunately they're just user guides and not the technical documentation, which was classed as a company secret by ICL, so only a poorly scanned copy with pages missing exists,

Re: MicroPeripherals Disk Interface ROM
I doubt Tony Tebby would mind it being sent by pm as Chr$ does have the original box and manualDerek_Stewart wrote: ↑Mon Dec 11, 2023 6:05 pm Hi,
My apologies, it seems I have the QLP Ugrade for MicroPeripherals v1.24, as a ROM image, but it is still copyright as detailed earlier.

Re: QL Games/Software on mdv Cartridge.
Yes, I think it must be copy protected and will only run from the original mdv, so copying files to floppy or vDrive won't work. My dump of it works fine on qemulator with it 'inserted' into mdv1. I think it also worked on the BBQL, but I haven't tried it for a while and tend to dump everything wit...

Re: OPD: Computer One floppy interface recreation.
He obviously lost the board he was sent then. That's a different board layout to the one in the article on the RWAP web site too. Maybe the one on there was the issue 1. I'm guessing that it is one and the same Adder, not that that would be any real help. I never had the C1 board - the none working...

Re: Best QL Games
I think one of the best games, nearly comparable to other computers (QL does not have hardware comparable to e.g. a C64) was Vroom (a car racing simulation). The graphics was superb (for its time) and IMHO comparable with C64 and Spectrum games. Another game I have liked a lot, was an submarine gam...

Re: ED floppy blank formated image for gotek
I tried something similar with a version of this made by Zaxon some years ago. I assume that the firmware for the Gotek simply does not understand the ED format unfortunately.
