The Sinclair QL Forum

you'll probably need more than one book - as there's 68000 assembly programming - and then there's the specific application of programmming 68008 code on the Sinclair QL. The book Dilwyn mentions is a good one, for more general techniques I found the cybex "Programming the 68000" a useful ...

Dilwyn has a useful list of some of the ROMS associated with the QL and it's peripherals - there are some Sandy ones amongst the list:

I wonder if it's worth including this in your article when you publish it? - as it's a good illustration for those of us that are prone to making mistakes like this (I am including myself in that).

Has anyone got a dissassmbly of the QEPIII ROM ? I think if we had that it might be an easier task to expand the capabilities. I would add these as wish list items too: 1) use a different device/devices to address the I/O so that the E signal is no longer required - the 6821's used kind of force tha...

Here is a very interesting vendor from Poland that has several available batches of 8749 IPC chips. Ignore the first 4 which are one time programmable used, hence already programmed and not erasable. https://www.ebay.de/str/tvsatelectronic/IC-Microcontroller/_i.html?_storecat=18701871014&_sop=2...

It's a shame we can't use HTML like tags

Personally I love a good emoticon

I saw it was in quotes so assumed it was meant to be taken tongue in cheek. I do have a problem with the over censoring that now seems to be creeping into IT - The product I work with - NetBackup - has the concept of a Master server - but now it seems our documents need rewriting to call these "...

looking at the circuit diagram for the medic- it also uses the same SP0-SP3 decoding scheme as the QEPIII - meaning if your backplane doesn't alter any of these SPx signals - the QEPIII and Medic disk interface are trying to use the same address. If you cut the line for SP0 on the backplane after th...

QEPIII also uses the synchronous bus signal E which is not provided by Gold or SuperGold cards.
