Re: My first QL

I also have an extensive list of QL users, with several in Italy - so if anyone fancies organising a get-together, let me know and I can email everyone!

That goes for any other country :D

QL Super Monitor / Disassembler

Does anyone have a copy of v3.0 of QL Super Monitor by Digital Precision ? We have preserved v2.0, but it was only whilst looking back through the older QL User, that I spotted the advert for v3.0 of the software. All the copies I have seen have been v2.0 only and it is NOT in the Digital Precision ...

Re: Command for total amount of RAM installed?

On a standard QL,

Code: Select all

PRINT (PEEK_L(163856)-PEEK_L(163852)-1024)/1024
gives the amount of free memory in Kilobyes

Code: Select all

PRINT (PEEK_L(163872)/1024 - 128)
gives the total amount of memory available.

Re: Anyone with a psu for Microperipherals Floppy Interface?

I have a load of chips here from different interfaces, but none of the QJUMP upgrade chips I am afraid.

I also don't have a MicroP power supply....

Re: QL Soundcard?

I agree - using the AY-3-8910 is not necessarily a good solution as the chips are not that easy to obtain (unless you go for Chinese clones). I have used the YM2149 instead in a couple of projects for the ZX81, but if possible, it would be better to use a different controller, maybe with more than 2...

Re: PCB design software for QL...

I think its PCB 1 then. And that I happen to have it on the floppy somewhere... But at present no way to run it, since my two QLs have no floppy interface. Will have to solder one soon... PCB1 is a Talent program, so far as I know. If you have PCB 1 on disk - could you either make me a copy of the ...

Re: Quanta AGM and QL Workshop 2012

Is there an accommodation for people to attend or present by video link / skype? A few of us normally stay at the Thistlewood B&B - see http://www.thethistlewood.co.uk/ There are plenty of other hotels in the area, but as I am not from Manchester, I cannot advise - your best bet is to contact J...

Re: PCB design software for QL...

Quanta AGM and QL Workshop 2012

Just wondered who was planning on attending the Quanta AGM and QL Workshop this year (24th / 25th March), being held in Manchester ? Nice and handy for anyone wanting to attend from abroad and catching a plane! Don't forget you don't have to be a member of Quanta to come along - all are welcome :D I...
