The Sinclair QL Forum

Hi,

The Sharp X68000 looks a nice machine, though they are very scarce and are usually sought after, resulting in a high price tag .

There maybe more Amiga games available than X68000 games, which may make the better machine not popular.

Hi,

I downloaded qlib345u.img into Q-emulator, mapped to to Slot 1, booted up OK not errors, loaded the compiler front end no problems.

I am using Minerva v1.97, Toolkit 2 in q-emulator.

Hi, The main reason that I did the Q60, in 2002, which was 22 years ago (where does the time go...), I wanted a 68060 based QL system. So the only way was to make one. It does seem after all this time I still need a 68060 based QL. The Q60 production was so sucessful, withno failures in the hardware...

Hi,

I have QPC1 running on Dosbox on an Android tablet, running the Extended Environment in 800x600 resolution.

The onscreen keyboard made the screen smaller, but maybe a Bluetooth keyboard is the answer.

HI,

Nice games loader.

Have a look at the QL Games Cartridge, there is an on screen menu system that might give ideas.

Hi,

I am looking into making making some ESP8266 Wifi Modems.

Hi,

I use the Sumulant WIFI Modem with the Q68, works perfectly, though needs a short cable to attach the Modem the Q68 Serial Port.

A ESP866 based board and TTL to Serial adapter can be made very inexpensively to work with the QL Serial Port.

Here is the wire connection order: Found on the Interweb...

Hi,

There is a Black retaining clip that slides up that locks the wires in place.

Note the Clip does not come off, just lever it up carefully at each end a small amount, less than a millimetre.

Hi,

Thank you for the update to this excellent software, I am using Lauchpad on the Q68, makes the sytem work nice.

I use Launchpad 1 on the Q68 in DISP_MODE 4 (1024x768) runs well on my 23" LCD monitor.
