Re: I, Dave, have a major announcement that will...

Aaaand, nope. One of the parts I was shipped they sent a part different to the spec they listed. So, the correct parts will be here on the 16th So, I'll announce something on the 11th, something on the 18th and something on the 25th. One item a week. That takes the pressure off. The first thing wil...

Re: Q68 Powered Arcade Game

Who would like to adapt this to the Q68 ? It is less than 250 ARM instructions. I had no time to practice coding in 68k assembly. My source is fully commented, and I could of course answer all questions. In about a fortnight I should be able to amend further the code to get the original parallax eff...

Re: Machine Code Converters: 6502 to 68000

Yes Derek. This is why a resourcer, with comments for the areas too specific to the 6502 machine (chipset or system routines) could help. Now all functions are documented on the various retro machines, you could imagine appearing in the source a link to a section of a database storing descriptive, t...

Re: Machine Code Converters: 6502 to 68000

No idea at all if that can help you, but you could also ask on the stardot forum. After all the early Acorns use a 6502, and there are some really talented geeks on this forum. Please keep us informed. If it can be more than a converter, but some sort of resourcer, that could be interesting. I doubt...

Re: Q68 Order Process

Did your tracking update as it came to you, or did it just say "collected" then arrive one day? Just curious, it affects how much hope I have. I don't see why Derek should be burdened with expenses because Parcels2Go couldn't track a package if they were sitting in it. I'm hoping it comes...

Re: Q68 New users and general usage thread

Alas, my Christmas will not include a Q68. Parcels2Go seem to have misplaced it. I'll give it several more weeks before starting to raise a stink, since things can take time. Normally, it would have been delivered by December 21st. However, Christmas mail volumes will change everything. So, I'll ju...
