The Sinclair QL Forum

Hi Just start with Martin's suggestion below - copy directly with COPY 'ser1hz' to 'con_' on the QL to avoid latency waiting for tokenisation - and get a clearer idea of precisely how many characters arrive successfully before things 'hang' (and the I might suspect your USB to Serial adapter on the ...

Hi Per! Did you notice whether or not the Q68 bootloader detected a 'normal' or 'extended' PS/2 mouse at start-up? (It flashes-by a bit quick...) I find that my extended PS/2 mouse isn't always detected as such intermittently. Probably a timing issue, but not something I usually bother about (I hate...

That's a good call, Martin

Hi again Jbizzel! A few points: A. Did you use the device names 'ser1hz' or just 'ser1'? B. The 2x SER ports on the QL are indeed wired differently - RX/TX and RTS/CTS are swapped between them, so I would expect you to need a different wiring than you show in that image for SER2. (SER1 is wired and ...

Hi again! Glad to hear that. I shall assume that you are using the handshaking option as suggested, so as to avoid buffer overrun across the Serial link. Also, that your serial cable actually has the handshaking lines correctly wired (RTS/CTS). Depending upon just how long you are waiting before hit...

Hi JBizzel! From what you have described, it sounds like you are hitting a slight 'incompatibility' between the SAVE and LOAD commands between SMSQe (as running under QPC) and the version of QDOS and/or TK2 on the target QL. If that is the case, the cause is the missing 'Byte-serial header' expected...

Ciao Daniele! SER is supported on Mac... you just need a 68000-based Mac :D Yes, apologies - I should have been more precise in my terminology :-) I myself still have a PowerBook 190cs somewhere (68LC040) - but no USB port for the Virtual SERial port connection to the QLUB - I don't suppose any of t...

Hi everyone!

Just to say that, with Wolfgang's recent release of SMSQmulator v3.0 and it's support for the SERial port, the QLUB Adapter has another supported emulation platform!

See viewtopic.php?t=4720 for my test results.

Thanks Wolfgang!

Hi everyone! Not quite sure where to post this, but I'll start here... With Wolfgang's recent announcement of the v3.0 release of his Java-based QL Emulator, SMSQmulator and its new support for the SERial Port, I thought to test it with the QLUB Adapter (QL LAN to USB Bridge Adapter). To recap, the ...

Good morning everyone! Having received one of Leon's excellent (basic) ZX8301 ULA replacements recently, I proceeded to test a number of configurations. Full test results appear below but overall, the replacement ULA works perfectly in both my Issue-5 and Issue-6 QLs until a Gold or Super Gold Card ...
