Re: TK2 and RAM disk

QJump have always sold their RAM disk as a separate product, "ramprt" (Also includes a print spooler). It just got mixed up with Toolkit 2 over time because many disk interfaces simply included both. If anyone wants to use ramprt (as the most "original" RAM disk), it is included ...

Re: QIMSI

Could you provide a link, please? I see PTH on Dilwyn's site ( https://dilwyn.qlforum.co.uk/tk/pth.zip ) but it does not seem to include a commandline history extension. Nope! The "history device" is not from Phil Borman but from Boris Jaubith, Berlin (friend of mine). You will find it on...

Re: RTC Query

There seem to be simple I2C-to-RS232 adapters that allow you to connect I2C devices to RS232 serial interfaces. Here's a link to such an adapter kit: https://www.horter-shop.de/de/i2c-pc-adapter/41-bausatz-i2c-rs232-koppler-4260404260547.html (Note I haven't tried wether that works with the QL, but ...

Re: The MEM Device

Sometimes, apparently, problems need to sink in deeply for a while until they collide with something else in my memory that happens to be the solution. Same case here, I totally forgot about NASERVE until a small LED went blinking in my brain: With regards to the MEM device and security concerns (ov...

Re: Announcing availability of a QLNET driver for the Q68 (ND-Q68)

What could be of interest in this context is the mem_ device driver which is part of the DIY toolkit (in the v_n section) - That allows you (amongst some really "magic" (or is it dubious?) other stuff) to PEEK and POKE into a remote machine's memory over QLAN (George Gwilt's NET_PEEK does...

<> This is the simple program that run on Q68: 110 ch=FOP_IN ("tcp_time.nist.gov:13") <> I just get Not found. What driver do you load? That happens to me as well, sporadically. That's when the driver couldn't resolve a hostname in time. I tend to do that resolving by hand then and insert...

Re: Announcing availability of a QLNET driver for the Q68 (ND-Q68)

Hi all, I am not sure that is the right thread to post it but... Ill do... :) My Q68 is part of a bigger Lan and it act as a bridge for 2 QL, I mean: " QL NET 1 ----> Q68 (Net 2) ----> QL Net 3" I share the resources of the 2 QL to the other Component of the Lan (PC running SMSQE/emulator...

Re: Fast Plot/Draw toolkit / viepoint manual/ PD3 Manual

I had a quick look in Dilwyn's post here, and it seems to have the proper strings in the binaries.

Re: Fast Plot/Draw toolkit / viepoint manual/ PD3 Manual

The "Giga" thing used to be part of nearly every program name that ABC Electronic in Germany sold. So, it's likely it was part of their software line (I do, however, not recall a "Fast Plot" toolkit) As a lot of ABC stuff was distributed in the UK through Digital precision, I t m...
