Re: "8749 replaces 8049" Curiosity

Ah, shows you learn something new every day. The 8749HC is user programmable, but only once, for low volume prototype runs. I have the 8749HD with the quartz window, which are programmable multiple times. Hmm, creating Hermes chips is relatively easy if you have the programmer, did one just yesterd...

Re: "8749 replaces 8049" Curiosity

Hi,

The added components on the chip are to implement the CAPSLOCK_LED circuit, which works with 8049 and 8749.

So from the IPCVER$ function,the IPC is a 8049.

Re: My Q68 configuration

Hi, If the STLs are not available, I could have a go at producing a similar design. I have done a little basic design work on a simp.e cu ic Q68 case, not with any QL Styling. I will see if I can enhance it bit. You fancy sharing what you have ? Nothing really, only a copy of the current Q68 case. ...

Re: OqtaDrive

Hi Tom

Thanks for the clarification, I was going add an Oqtadrive in next to my QL-SD, if I can map MDV 1-8 on the Oqtadrive, that would be great.

The joystick is effectively emulating 5 keys, so it is possible in theory, but it would require changes to the format of the ini file t...
