The Sinclair QL Forum

Hi everyone, I was the lucky winner of the final 30th Anniversary competition. However, I didn't think I could do justice to nine collections of QL games, so I asked Rich if we could spread the prize a little, to provide some early Christmas cheer.

Has anyone seen memory-clash problems with the default QUBIDE memory configuration and older software? I am unable to run Computer One FORTH with the QUBIDE card installed. C1 FORTH isn't re-locatable and the main code has to be loaded at address 196,608, which seems to clash with some memory being...

'Dennis the Dwarf at the Funfear' and 'Spy-A QL Adventure' -- that is, I agree with Christian!

Hi Derek, My concern is that two of us might think this was a good opportunity to get a copy of the manual for scanning/ OCR and then start bidding against each other.
