The Sinclair QL Forum

I used to take my CRT monitors to a place in Stevenage - but that was a long time ago - not sure if he'd still be there after all this time. I am guessing due to size and weight you are going to want to find someone local to fix them. Somethings you could try - particularly if the monitors have been...

You were lucky you didn't cook off all your chips - most of them will tolerate 6V - but no that much more...

To be fair to Sir Clive - an awful lot of other Software companies and some hardware companies have done the same thing since, not that this excuses the late delivery - but I was very happy with mine when it came

What was the actual "Release date" ? ;-) I remember picking up my first QL - a JM ROM version, back in middle of 1985, along with a TV / Monitor, and then buying a proper Philips monitor about a year later to get the full scan width in... An upgrade of ROMS to JS followed soon after too...

Tobias Agreed - it does say this in the Minerva manual - and warns you may end up with not very much RAM if this happens! My guess is that if the faulty RAM is in the fir...

As your matrix switch is actually a 12x8 - that gives you 4 extra lines not in the 8x8 matrix - so you have some spare lines for those awkward control keys - as you can't put diodes inside the chip's matrix.

Pr0f, anything particular you want me to test? So far I only tested the basic combinations with CTRL (e.g. CTRL + arrow left) and with SHIFT. This works well. I do not have a Hermes, so I can not test Hermes specific things. Peter, fully understand your demand. Probably this is useful to you: http:...

Nice project - does it deal with CRTL, ALT and SHIFT keys and combinations of those with other keys - the IPC code has some special cases - particularly with the HERMES IPC replacement - that you may want to handle.

I hate the auto bid bots. My usual trick if I really want something is to look around to see if anyone is selling the same item - and if so whether there is a buy it now for a sensible price - quite often I'll watch the same thing on several ebay items - and if one goes silly on bidding - I will tak...
