Bingo. Never used that one before, but it assembled the file without a hitch. Not sure if this ROM works or if it was ever released in this version, but it's probably worth a try.

Re: QSound and QPrint Interface

I have the sources for, apparently, a version 1.40, but I cannot assemble them easily. Anybody any idea what assembler a file ending of "_mcc" might indicate?

Re: Want: QL-SD drive

Hi, anyone looking to sell a QL-SD drive as I desperately need one to complete my QL system. It will replace my Tetroid card which I will then sell as I no longer use it since getting an SGC. I have a few left but shipping stuff is so time consuming and annoying, especially outside the EU, that I h...

Re: Want: QL-SD drive

Hi I asked if I could build the QLSD v2, but was politely refused. Quite a revisionist statement. I wrote, literally "well, if you want we can talk about that, sure. But the problem with the current QL-SD is that there is much manual labor involved." and then a long text of what must be d...

Re: Sinclairql.net ?

I just talked to Urs, he's aware of it. The hoster was acquired by another company or whatever, he will either have to just update the DNS or re-upload everything. But rest assured, he thinks it will be back sometime this month ;)

Re: QMAC

I'm not sure where all the time goes which I used to have for QL-stuff. I'm away from my laptop for a while starting tomorrow, but I'll set a reminder to revisit it later in the month.

Re: Dhrystone compiled on BBQL with Digital C SE

That is, btw, a dangerous assumption as it's not generally true. Microsoft, for example, in their ultimate wisdom, decided a 32 bit long is "long enough", even on a 64 bit system. Sounds strange at first, but Microsoft is all about compatibility and in that context it does make sense. I o...

Re: Weird problem with integer division, or is it me again?

#2 If you want to divide two integer variables, use DIV - It will still convert to FP first, and will still give a floating point result, but a more properly rounded one (DIV actually will return the floor value of the division), and on SBASIC, it will even support long integer division (In that ca...

Re: IOP.SWDF - what does A1 point at please?

When you mentioned NULLs before, I thought you were on about the actual subwindow list table, which I set up with dummy null pointers to be filled in later. My mistake. I was. As far as I can see you never posted any code for the sub-definitions, so I couldn't spot that problem ;) Thank you very mu...
