The Sinclair QL Forum

Hi again everyone and thank-you for such a wealth of good ideas! As it stands, my testing so far has only been on QPC and it is here that the CHAR_INC 8,9 method correctly aligns the 8x9 standard font patterns on screen, but unless OVER -1 (xor) is also set, still appears to overwrite/blank the last...

Hi everyone - thanks for all your ideas! Given that keeping the print routine simple and efficient is my main aim - ultimately to run on a BBQL - I'm thinking that the OVER -1 approach to overcome the unwanted blank pixel-line when printed, remains the most efficient. I'll just need to over-write th...

Hi Tobias - thanks for the idea. As it happens that approach wouldn't help much in this case as each new character row (or 9 pixels) exhibits the same behaviour and each of the Seems odd to me that this extra row of pixels is ever printed at all, with CHAR_INC set to 9 tall - makes me wonder if its ...

Hi everyone As part of my Scalextric lap-counter/timer project, I've designed some simple font/fount characters for the 7-segment digit display. To get the larger sizes for the digits that I wanted, each segment is composed of several 'UDG' characters that need to be lined up adjacent to one-another...

And I will be completing the Lap Timer/Counter for my son's Scalextric - attached to Hermes spare ports and some simple electronics - almost done :-) And then... to start in earnest on a Serial to QNET adapter and the associated TKII/FSERVE software adaptations to allow non-QL hardware (e.g. QPC on ...

Hi Dave

Good luck with the 'new' venture!

Meanwhile, I too would love to get my hands on a batch of pads, once you've satisfied yourself of their quality!

Do let us know when/where we can order them (SMR?)

I must also add how great Rich's service has been - both in shipping parts as well as time and care over the phone!

Thanks for helping re-ignite my passion for the QL!

Good luck, Dave!

You can always tell that a decision was the 'right one' on how relieved you feel having made it.

Thanks for your work to-date!

(Still hankering after the SuperRAM, though!)

Thanks guys!

I'll reach out to Jochen and post back any news!

Hi everyone Following a chat session with some of the forum members this evening, I thought to post this query around the availability of SERNET. Having acquired a BBQL recently and hacked it to bits already - having lots of fun in the process - I wanted to explore filesharing between QPC2 on my lap...
