Re: ULA replacement basic board

Would that be extra colours in mode 4 as well, or just mode 8? I'd love 8 (or more) colours in mode 4. I have a feeling it's been mentioned that it's not for mode 4 though, is that right? In mode 4 there are only two bits available per pixel, so extending that would require relocation of the displa...

Re: Disable Trump Card 768 Memory?

If you have Minerva you can use CALL 390,<new RAMTOP>. E.g. CALL 390,(384+128)*1024 gets you 384KB RAM.

Re: 3.5" Floppy Disk Issues

What version is the Trump Card's ROM? I know that older versions work only with DD drives and have problems with HD/ED drives.

Re: IP Network driver

There are two versions of my driver, one UQLX2017, and one UQLX2018. Don't know what the difference is yet. I might try looking through old posts here, It might remind me. And I will fire up my old Linux PC and see how many different UQLX's are on there. UQLX versions before 2018 used *tcp and *sck...

Re: FPGA replacment for the ZX8301 ULA and more

Minerva4Q68, like Minerva and other QDOS variants do not have a MACHINE extension, but there is a programme on the QL Homepage that can do this, whether this will help with identification of the version of QL hardware is unsure. It's actually very easy to add this, I will put it on my to-do list. M...

Re: Using the QIMSI-QL Link

I'm surprised you can not see the same effect. Which hardware and OS are you using on the QL side? In my case Issue 5 QL motherboard, Minerva ROM, QIMSI, SuperGoldCard running SMSQ/E. Issue 6 QL, Minerva (but that's irrelevant since you have to run SMSQ/E for SERnet), QIMSI and (non-Super) GC. I st...

Yes, I did DIR s1_win1_ from the QL where the Q68 was station 1 and the QL station 2.

Re: Using the QIMSI-QL Link

Hi Peter, The QL sending data feels similar as Q68 and the likes. E.g. getting the QL directory from the Q68 with DIR s2_win1_ feels fine. Receiving looks like slowing down to a few characters per second, e.g. when the QL tries to receive a Q68 directory with DIR s1_win1_. The best is to try yoursel...

Re: Using the QIMSI-QL Link

\Thanks for the hint. Yes I have version 2.25, too. Did you already find the time to make a serial cable? I could also make it for you, but afraid of shipping to Netherlands again... Plenty of cables here, I just need to find a DB-9 connector (I've had plenty of them, just have to do some searching...
