The Sinclair QL Forum

What ever happened to this project?

The Telestore was also another target but I don't think anyone managed to read the EPROMs as they are soldered to the board?


It's on Github for everyone to enjoy. :-)

Note there is a reason why MasterSpy wants the whole screen: It is a multi-window text editor, and basically uses the whole screen as a desktop, offering multiple windows that can edit multiple files at the same time. This would obviously not work well (especially not with the PE) if the console is ...

What annoys me more than the window size (which is easily changed if you bother to read the manual) is that MasterSpy does not use default directories. If I get my head around it, I might develop a bodge that makes it do that - MasterSpy is such a nice editor that It would definitely be worth it.

Should simply work. Comes with the standard ROM.

The main problem with the Next QL core is the lack of documentation. Which I do not expect the new KS3 version to be any different.

I wish they had written a dirctory device driver like the Q68, which can access FAT16 partitions with a standard QL device.

SUB device driver is one of the most ...

That will allow me to get more games onto my win file. As you say, this needs to be documented better, and presumably will by the time KS3 is launched, along with more features possibly.

Actually, the Next QL core comes with some utilities that make bringing files intro the QXL ...

Well, of course: QL users played around with the unearthly musical capabilities of their computer, got frustrated and bought their music at the record store.

I did order some new memory thinking that it was a possibility what was wrong but on looking at the replys to my request one stated he thought IC21 was at fault so I ordered a replacement and did socket it as why would you not as if it failed now why would it not fail in the future.

A good article on the other kickstarter for the Commodore 64 (well, it's not a kickstarter, but something similar).

Does anyone know the author? He seems pretty spot on on many things retro.

For me, I like the ...

Ideally, sqLux should support both the Unix/Linux clipboard and the Windows clipboard. I doubt XorA will ever implement this.

:D


I'm not so sure: One of the advantages of having switched to SDL2 ist that there is multi-platform support for the system clipboard and drag&drop. It shouldn't be ...
