The Sinclair QL Forum

Except the Samsung built QLs I've seen, they were always D14 and above.

I have checked 2 of them, both starting with SG18-xxxxxx (probably meaning "Samsung, German"?).

Similar behaviour appeared, when I attached Shugart floppy drives to a controller card expecting IBM PC floppy drives.

Depends on how you routed the connection of the ROM to the socket. I have board with 64 kB ROM, simple logic and a jumper (to turn the Toolkit on/off). It fits just to one of the ROM sockets, no additional wires to the mainboard. The only problem is, that Toolkit II must be turned off when using ext...

Minerva is incompatible with some old games (and Tandata communication software). But YES, it is a step forward, half way to SMSQ. Adds support of both VideoRAMS, several instances of SuperBasic in multitasking, some speed improvements, baudrate split for Hermes, warm reset and autoboot (waits only ...

News - QDOS Classic ( http://www.mswift.unisonplus.net/ql/files/QZ.zip ) on the Minimig RUNS :D, if started with Amiga KickStart ROM. It boots diirectly to QDOS Classic application in a second, no Amiga DOS is even visible. So, with its VGA output Minimig solves the "monitor vs TV mode" pr...

We have tested Minimig (FPGA Amiga 500 clone) with "QDOS Classic" KickSTART ROM. But this doesn't run. According to tests in UAE, QDOS Classic ROM runs on Amigas with processor 68020 and higher, i.e., for QDOS on Amiga we need Amiga 1200 (or something like "AGA Minimig" with 6802...

It there a special parameter to provide to activate the mouse or a special configuration to set?

Probably the serial port number?

If I try to load LRESPR flp1_sermouse before SMSQ, the system hang up!...

That is correct; driver must be loaded after SMSQ is started.

The SerMouse driver should be provided with the SMSQ/E O.S. NO. I think, it only supports QIMI Mouse and Sandy Mouse. For serial mouse, there should be an additional driver. Citation follows (Dilwyn): "If you wish to use a serial mouse, with a suitable adapter lead for the QL serial port you c...

Then try to check the IC28 (MC1377p) and the chroma oscilator.
