The Sinclair QL Forum

That was certainly the motivation for making sQLux work on linux framebuffer. I just haven't made a cutdown distro to launch it yet! For the future though would need something that could run SMSq/e! Hmmm... how about emulating a Q68 for that purpose? In a first attempt, you could try enlarging RAM ...

I have alot of these magazines, what year are we talking about.

From hardware point of view there is no blocking point.

What's misleading here? Few people just happen to have a Lattice JTAG programmer laying around.

One day soon, M$ are going to stop supporting W10; my desktop machine is not W11-compatible. This might be a good time for a serious paradigm shif...

Hi

I asked if I could build the QLSD v2, but was politely refused.

So I would have make the QLSD v1, maybe with a dual SD Card reader.

Also get rid of Buster distro and move to the Bullseye one. The new GFX stack makes a huge difference in desktop usability!

Sorry, I meant Bullseye...
