The Sinclair QL Forum

Phew! That was a lucky escape! GST were professionals, and very realistic about what is possible to archieve with just 32 kB of ROM. Tony Tebby was a bit like crazy maniac - as if he didn't know, that it is impossible to shrink whole operating system and Basic interpreter into such limited space - ...

Did you transfer through the SER port?

Exactly.
I hope, as the 68k/OS supports the ROM disk (additional upto 32 kB ROM), in the future we will be able to place the most necessary utilities (format, baud, copy) into ROM.

I have bought converting cables for the UK QL here: http://www.thesinclairshop.com/ Although nice looking (and a big bit expensive), they have one disadvantage: they don't work on the QL (I didn't test them with ZX Spectrum 128+, which has the same serial connector). The solution is to disassembly t...

68k/OS is the original operating system (windowing, multitasking) made by GST for the QL. Throughout the QL finalize, it was replaced by QDOS by Tony Tebby. 68k/OS is public domain now. Pity, there was only the 32k EPROM image available, not the programs and utilities residing on microdrive capsules...

Improved program for setting up the wireless connection:

QL succesfully connected to the Internet via WiFi! This inch title says, that I had successful attempt to talk with ConnectOne Cesure iWiFi module over serial. The module acts as "internet modem", controlled using AT commands (as a modem). On the attached picture you can see AT commands t...

The parameters are: SER<portnumber><parity><handshake><conversion> being 1, 2 for port (3 and more with SuperHermes) e - even parity, o - odd parity, m - mark parity, s - space h - handshaking, i - ignore handshaking r - raw data, z - appends CTRL+Z to end of file, c - converts LF to CR and adds CTR...

No doubt, it can go for GPB 450 or so.
