The Sinclair QL Forum

I've edited the title to help matters

Hi. Am needing a little help.

I have my RPM rom resident Quill file on a flp image.

I now need to know how to extract that file from flp to a rom image I can use on Qemulator in the expansion rom?

Updated post.

I'll just point out that I think the Sandy SuperQ Mouse board had 32k, so would possibly conflict on a backplane in what Nasta has just outlined. At least to get all 8 slots (disregarding 9 to 16 for the ROM card).

I assumed that wasn't a problem as Sinclair document it as being possible, if not ...

Not to say that is the cause in this case, just it could be.


I have to admit that when you go from using a dedicated backplane to multiple thru connected cards am a little less certain of the consequences.

Yes the extra RAM is conflicting with the ROM driver of the other card for the allocated space in the CPU mapping. All Trumpcards were restricted to no other expansion options because of this.


And you lot thought I was just thick.. :D

Thanks both for the advice.

After a couple of false starts and errors being thrown up I seem to have done it. I expecting more steps, and the manual is vague. Now I need to test it on Qemulator, it would be nice to learn how to make a rom image.

I have my eyes on a number of other apps.

And of course getting the hardware ...

Resident Program Manager (Qliberation Software)

It is ROM I want. And am not using PE Ralf.

I ran RPM from mdv2_
Loaded the control file from mdv1_ (entering: mdv1_control_file)

RPM then lists

1 ROMH mdv1_quill rom,64,QUILL v 2.35
2 EXEC mdv1_quill,QUILL
File not found

END with errors
