Re: Dev_use how to use?

https://www.dilwyn.qlforum.co.uk/tk/index.html Make sure you use the right one, depending on whether the system has a QL-SD or not. QL-SD systems need v2.05 or later. May need the hotkey system to work. Some disk systems such as some of those from Miracle Systems might already have DEV built in, as...

Re: Minerva4Q68

I have received Dilwyn's Q68 which seems to boot up with no cursor. So a little more investigation required. Sounds a little different to my experience here. For me, it'd rarely get as far as booting into Minerva. Even when it did, it locked up before you could type many characters. (Not moaning to...

Re: Today I Received...

The uSD card storage was the single best feature for me, along with the mouse facility. It has so many features for such a small device!

Re: SMSQ/E Executables

I think it was in the context of QL core for the Spectrum Next Can you say more, for those of us not on Facebook? - In another thread if it's likely to spawn a discussion and hijack this one? (it will, I will pester you for more info :D) I know there was one as a work in progress by Victor Trucco, ...

Re: SMSQ/E Executables

Sorry, I think I confused everyone with my reply since I didn't understand it correctly when I first read it. I think Phoebus and those involved with that project (I think it was in the context of QL core for the Spectrum Next) meant something completely different, and weren't referring to placing a...

Re: SMSQ/E Executables

Well, I knew that QPC2's DOS driver could save executables with a QemuLator-style header from v5.00 of QPC2. As far as I knew, it was exclusive to QPC2's DOS driver, though. Would love to be proven wrong though! EDIT: I should have read the full thread first before replying, I misunderstood what he ...

Re: Wanted: QIMSI case

Here's a picture of the QIMSI case which Johan Engdal kindly printed for me. It was early days of QIMSI - I think someone (Maskenlos?) has made a publicly available case design, though I can't find the link for it on the Forum atm. Picture shows the micro SD card slot and the two USB connectors. Als...
