Re: FPGA replacment for the ZX8301 ULA and more

Hi,

Really impressive demo, looks like we do not need a Super Gold Card.

Can the Flash command be used?

When it is said virtual microdrives, do you mean, vDriveQL, Oqtadrive, Micropdrive?

Looks like I need to fix some more QLs, as I will want one.

Re: QubATA without burning ROM?

Hi,

I forgot about the QubATA monitor program.

I used to have multiple Qubide interfaces, but that was not QubATA Rom code. But the device name and a couple of commands needed changed, as there was a clash in the ROM codes.

Maybe QubATA can not do this, Phil Borman's code certainly could.

Re: QubATA without burning ROM?

Hi, Not sure you mean the Monitor to check the address. The ram driver code has config blocks in the code, that define the ROM base address and the device name. You need to you use Menuconfig to to alter base address. If this is not done the base address of the Ram code is the romport C000. You need...

Re: ql+ prototype rebuild ? possible

Hi,

Why not run sQ68Lay on the RPI, you will have to compile the emulator, but XorA has made the compilation really easy.

Re: ql+ prototype rebuild ? possible

Hi,

If you load in JAVA SMSQmulator can run.

sQLux runs quite well on a Pi4, But needs SDL2 development libraries to compile it.

I have just aquired a cheap Pi400 and this all work great.

Re: ql+ prototype rebuild ? possible

Hi,

You try:
https://codeberg.org/xelalexv/spectratur

Which allow a QL to use a PS/2 or USB keyboard.

Also look at thread:
viewtopic.php?t=4012

But I am not sure this is what you want.

Tynemouth Software did a QL USB keyboard interface
