Re: RTC Query

These things seem to be doing the level shifting and clock generation, t...

Re: QIMSI

I think it's some sort of confusion here. The driver FSH (which includes PTH in it's installation kit) is the one that has a built-in commandline history No thanks. I do not want a different, Forth programmable commandline interface. Just saw the chance for an alternative history for the normal QDO...

Re: QIMSI

https://dilwyn.qlforum.co.uk/tk/history127.zip I know that one of course (and it has problems). Instead I asked for a link to PTH which allegedly has built-in commandline history, according to ql_freak. Another good extension is ALIAS by Simon Goodwin, in the Volume A DIY Toolkit Series. https://di...

Re: QIMSI

Alos look at PTH, which is a Path search extension, all very flexible. This is IMHO the BEST file utility ever. It's one of the first things I install. Would be a good improvement for QPC2. HISTORY-Device (first implemented by Boris Jakubith, Berlin), Named Pipes (first implementation I know of: Er...

It emulates a Q68 instead of the original QL. Which gives it highcolor graphics and the capability to run SMSQ/E. Which I find very cool.

Re: Anouncement for the 40th Anniversary of the Sinclair QL in Dormagen (Germany)

At least Graeme is from Great Britain if he can make it. I'm also trying to convince someone else.
What I like about this anniversary, is that nearly all participants are still active.

Re: CPLD replacement for ZX8301

I hate to say it, but GoldCard and SuperGoldcard rise and fall times are too fast for the QL mainboard, causing ringing and crosstalk beyond the TTL thresholds. This works with the slow logic of the original, but could be a problem with modern CPLDs. Also it could be that your timings are simply too...

Re: Anouncement for the 40th Anniversary of the Sinclair QL in Dormagen (Germany)

So now we have Nasta, Wolfgang, Jan, Tobias, Stephan, Oliver, Fabrizio, Urs, Markus, Detlef, Diane, Per (likely), Graeme (possible), myself ... I'm sure I forgot someone. And these are only the well known names... I suspect this will become the most high-carat meeting in two decades :D
