Re: Upgraded Sinclair QL for Sale + extras

Oh, I see it now...yes, that's the one I wanted to create :-/ I thought someone a few months back had ordered a bunch of those boards and was going to sell the extras to forum members (I had said I wanted one) but it kind of never materialized...likely due to delays with COVID. I have a couple of P...

Re: Upgraded Sinclair QL for Sale + extras

Nice setup, I think one of the corner pins is always missing on QLs so if thats the one it might not be broken! Yes, I recently had an issue 7 and pin 1 of the left ROM chip is missing. Great price on this (esp with the FLP board and Hermes chip) and if I wasn't almost buried in QL bits - with more...

Re: #QLvember

One more entry for #QLvember: QL Restoration and History https://youtu.be/n3Di1-JvWyA I'll have one last #QLvember video on Thursday looking in depth at microdrives and (hopefully!) fixing one :D Spotted pics of my QEPIII EPROM programmer and my Gold Card (which is fine, just saying)! You'll get th...

Re: QLWiki updated to latest version

I've worked out what it was that was blocking me....

It would not accept single quote marks within the text: '

So I either replaced them with double quotes (it seems fine with those) or made the quoted text italic.

Re: Tankbusters and Psion Matchpoint

So I'm a longtime owner of these two titles and just got them out of storage. I think I will likely need to fix the felts on the microdrives. Has anyone created zip files of these two titles? I'm not sure if they are in the public domain but below is a picture of them showing I own them. I'm hoping...

Re: QLWiki updated to latest version

I just tried it in Chrome, a browser that I have never used in connection with the wiki. I Forgot my password of course, so requested a new one. Logged in on chrome, went to the create page for the page I've been aching to add for all this time and I still get the same: Forbidden You don't have perm...

It was an issue with mod_security as Chr$ suggested! :D
It still doesn't seem to work for me. I refreshed the page, logged out and in again and still get the 403. Should I try something else, like delete related cookies or something?

Re: QL microdrive cartridges.

Of the 5 I got, just out of interest, here are the results of dumping the contents (after they had been refelted): Computer One Pascal - No errors. HiSoft MON QL - No errors. Metacomco QL Assembler Development Kit - corrupt file: asm (loads ok, not yet sure yet how critical that file is). GraphiQL D...

Re: Problems with microdrive. Bad ULA?

When I send your parcel I'll include a ULA, may as well. There are more technical people here that will probably have other ideas for you to try but I find that if an mdv doesn't work (and the basics are ok, inc the 7805 and the 2 electrolytic caps, if present) then it's nearly always the ULA that i...

Re: Problems with microdrive. Bad ULA?

Hi everybody, Now that I have a QL working, I'm making a new video for #QLvember on the QL and specifically on the microdrives. Much to my surprise, it looks like one of my microdrives isn't working correctly. It was mdv1_ (like I've read in other threads that's the most common one to go). It would...
