The Sinclair QL Forum

I did some research into the router and found this from 2022:
"The EE Smart Router is based on the BT Smart Router 2. You might want to peruse Search "BT Smart Router 2 USB" to see what the BT Community have to say on the subject, incl. Linux. They do confirm that it supports SMB 1.0 only."

I don't know about German QL's, but with the US QL's, ser1 is Data Communication Equipment (DCE) and ser2 is Data Terminal Equipment (DTE). DCE sends on pin 3 and receives on pin 2.

job 1 Basic2ssb Line 1060 PAUSE

I tried with a JS rom and got the ...

I doubt that I would release another version of SSB. I actually use version 2.6.2 because it does all that I need. Version 2.7.X was mostly adding things that I thought others might want (like different languages).

I think it safe to say that the torch has been passed to Norman.

Derek,

My latest version is here:

Norman has expanded it with some additional features.

The documentation for 2.7.2 details how to use SSB with MicroEmacs. That document is here:

Structured SuperBasic (SSB) is an pre-processor for SuperBasic. It takes a text file, which is usually a SuperBasic program, and adds lines numbers. It also support "conditional compilation" meaning it supports #IFDEF type statements. It supports #INCLUDE to combine a number of SSB-type ...

I just tried it on SMSQmulator version 2.31. It displayed a few screens with a pretty pattern and then hit an error:
