Re: Bored of the Rings (game)

Did you click on the red text line? I guess it would have taken you to a webshop where you could buy it ;)

Jokes aside, I am not aware there ever was a QL version.

The propeller won't need to do QLNET because that's fully implemented in the 8302.
"Fully implemented" is a nice expression for a single 1-bit port.

QL Mainboard Power Connector

Hi!

just realized on one of my boards the main power inlet is broken where it's soldered in the PCB.

Does someone have an idea whether these can be obtained from somewhere (I have my doubts on that...) or does anyone have a spare scavenged from a broken PCB?

Thanks

Re: RECOLour in QPC

No, it doesn't. See QPC Keywords Manual, page 95. If you think about it a bit, for a 64k colour screen and even for 256 colors that command would require quite some arguments... Your best bet to replicate RECOL for high-color, high-res modes is probably machine code or a combination of the Turbo Too...

The 8049 is not involved with QLNET.

Re: Odd behavour

Modern languages like Pascal and even Java extend the (static, not dynamic) scope of LOCal variables into embedded objects and procedures. Nod so old-fashioned as you think, maybe ;)

Re: 8302<>8049 communications...

Just for the record (even if the above already somewhat covers that by not covering it) - The BAUDX4 line is not used for communication between the 68k and the 8049 at all - It's simply providing a basic baud rate clock to the 8049 for the serial ports and has nothing to do with internal comms - So ...

Re: peek-a-oh

The best place to PEEK_W a zero from is one you POKE_Wd a zero before.

(I'm a bit lost on what this could be good for, though)

Re: All RAM chips destroyed??

Minerva RAM test prints:
  • Value written
  • Value read back
  • Address
In this order. Looks like Bit 2 is stuck at 1 in most of your pictures except the second one, which doesn't fit into that pattern.

Re: Mice and mouse queues...

A serial mouse connected to SuperHermes (no "SerMouse" driver) works pretty well with the PE. This needs the IPC_EXT driver that comes with SuperHermes and the IPC_MOUSE command. A serial mouse integrated with the DiY Toolkit's serial mouse driver should probably work as well (Never tried ...
