The Sinclair QL Forum

Hello ! I would be very interested attending this meeting of QL users near Köln, because I will be in Strasburg ( not very far ! ). Do I have to book directly for a room and parking with the hotel, and may I do it early ? meaning NOW to be sure to have a room, but also, is it absolutely sure that t...

The signal extension should normally not be mandatory - Programs should run fine without.

How does "doesn't work" look like?

What does (after the program has run)
do?

Looks alright, but the CHAR_USE should (logically, I don't think it matters) come after the font is poked.

11*9 bytes, + 2 bytes in the initial data statement, so the frontsize is 808 maybe

yep.

cw/you/your program/ No offense meant

On the QL, "everything is floating". That means that POKEing to fixed addresses is potentially dangerous. Your POKE in line 810 pokes to memory in the free memory area of the QL . This might or might not be what you assume (you seem to assume that it's a font address in a channel definitio...

Cool. Which network driver do you use?

Martin's. But as NTP is using UDP, Wolfgang's might possibly work as well - Haven't tried, though.

On QPC and my QLs, I'm using TRAP #15 instructions with beacon strings to trap into QMON. This works nicely: When QMON sees a TRAP 15, it will break the program at the current PC (I'm using macros to create a TRAP #15 and strings to show me where I am). This, unfortunately, does not work on my Q68 (...

just as experiment..... For anyone who wants to give it a try.... Arduino code + Superbasic file please ignore the weather tningy.... I am not ready for HTTPS yet :) Would like to see if anyone can add nice things as well... It works perfect on a Q68 I don`t have a cable for my old ql so I couldn't...
