Re: What the test points are going on...

This is the ONLY 100% original QL board I will make. I am buying the components to make 100 right now. Once the 100 are gone... They're gone. Hi Dave, So what is the procedure to register interest in one of these boards, ether fully populated or SMD only? Because I am really interested in one. Than...

Re: Q68 Software SD Card

Derek, I would love to have access to an online version of the Q68 image file. As I have said, I can build my own image, but would rather have one build by someone who knows what their doing. :oops: Whopper Not doing it yourself will probably end you up in never really knowing your way around in SM...

Re: Q68 Software SD Card

Derek,

I was one of the numpties who were requesting such a download. Until I realised just how simple it was to fit what-so-ever I wanted onto the SD card, including a .WIN of my own!

Hi All,
I was wanting to use C++ classes for multiple LCD screens. That is just so much easier with C++. Using assembler (or C) I have to maintain two, or more, separate drivers for the screens. It can be done, just more messy and harder to maintain than with classes.
