The Sinclair QL Forum

Hi QLers, April 23rd, what does this date say to us? Saint George's Day, The Bayerische Reinheitsgebot (regarding the ingredients of beer) was signed 500 years ago, William Shakespeare died on that day 400 years ago, the Sinclair ZX Spectrum was launched 34 years ago. Great day in history! The QL’s ...

Managed to test the QXL today. Nice! I did fire-up my QXL just days ago to verify that the updated QL/E is running well. See the picture series starting at: https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=C250D8748980CE5A&id=C250D8748980CE5A%2125669&parId=C250D8748980CE5A%21353&o=OneUp Only did a basic ...

What QL stuff did you get yourself for your sons birthday? :lol: For me: The original Sinclair QL Sales Guide (very rare). This was a Joint ebay purchase by Rich and myself last year. Rich sent this to me some days ago. For him: Installing the latest QL/E on his high performance Gamer PC, the faste...

Even QL/E loads Menu_rext v8.02 by default, one can easy change it to use Menu_rext v7.04 which is also included. All one has to do is DELETE or REMark line 11280 in the BOOT program and make sure line 11282 looks like this: 11282 IF QLE_language$="GE" : LRESPR MENU_REXT_704_GE : ELSE LRES...

Ah yes - I had forgotten to enable it (this is not included in the QL/E distribution) and then Chess works from QDT :) Rich, did you download and try the latest version of QL/E 3.13 which I did release yesterday? In that version QL Screen Emulation is enabled by default on QPC2 and chess runs flawl...

Altogether it should be not a huge task to modify the BOOT program to support a system such as uQLx with QDOS (v1.10 and later) or Minerva. You could try and report here. Maybe I also take this on my task list for a future release. Urs No one really took up the line, so I had to do it on my own. QL...

Is there a way/a command to start uQLx with 1024x768 resolution? qxxx gives 800x600 (only). Yep. You can change the ${HOME}/.uqlxrc file. That holds the resolutions for the qx[x] commands. qxxx's screen size would be controlled by the "SIZE_3" configuration parameter. You can apparently g...

Dear QLers, from the comments to my last post (none) it seems that no one out there really cares about the QL’s history. Whatever. Here’s another post. Today is a very special day for me. In that week 30 years ago the Sinclair computer business was bought by Amstrad and the QL was axed. It was that ...

Per, some of those items - not only the Super Gold Card - are pure gold. My advice: Don't give them away under value. You took care for them for some many years, so you deserve to get the right price for it. Even I'm interested in one or the other item I may resist because my space and time is also ...
