Re: QL replica

The Qzero has dual SDRAM onboard, allowing more than 100% speed increase in 1024x768 highcolor mode over the Q68. A new Q68 could re-use this hardware, either by Qzero as a module (faster development) or an all-in-one PCB (cheaper). I diverted to the QIMSI project for a while. But if interest in th...

Another small tribute for the 40th Anniversary of the Sinclair QL: Interacting with an AI from a QL.

In commemoration of the 40th anniversary of the Sinclair QL, I have been working on a small project: a program in SuperBASIC that allows basic interaction with OpenAI's artificial intelligence.

Re: QL Net

Yes, I have setup QL NET over EtherNET, connecting Q68 to a Linux PC using WINE for QPC2 and Java for SMSQmulator, all work as Server or Client. I use Q68 ethernet with UDP, both SMSQmulator and directly with TFTP on Windows and Linux. Is there a step-by-step guide on how to connect Q68 (directly o...

Re: QL Net

Would be interesting to read of anyone's experience of mixing PCs and "QLs" (in all their guises) all able to communicate one way or another. ... A while ago I described my experiences in these posts: https://sinclairqles.wordpress.com/2020/04/26/expandiendo-al-limite-la-red-local-del-sin...

Re: Breaking news: The QIMSI Interface

Great Peter! This is good news for the QL world, QIMSI will surely be very well received by all QL enthusiasts.

Re: International QL keyboard layouts

Hello Martin. Marel introduced support for the Spanish keyboard layout in the latest versions of SMSQ/E for QL. Now, both for the classic QL keyboard and for PC-type keyboards, the driver works correctly with all the peculiarities of the Spanish keyboard. Could that implementation possibly be helpfu...
