Re: Malcolm's -

Hi,

I've noticed some inconsistent handling of text files in QPC2. The
problem was reading text files with both carriage return and line feed
at the end of line. Several programs could read these files from the
qxl.win drive without complaint. However the same file being read from a
dos or ram drives caused problems. One particular program that got upset
was the GST assembler.  I finally tracked the problem down to the
io.flin trap. It was converting the carriage return to a line feed, but
only on the win drive. Is there any switch to change this behaviour and
have it working on all drives? Or is this a bug?

Cheers
Malcolm

Thank you Malcolm.  You've revealed a previously unkown scource of 
some of my historical headaches.


Best wishes,

I've now located the code that does the character replacement in 
dv3_dv3_buff_asm. However I can't seem to get QMON into supervisor mode 
using LS. Maybe it's just my copy of QMON or I'm doing something stupid 
(quite possible).

I've never successfully used LS with QMON. Anyway when it works you can't look 
at ram - all you get is the contents of registers and so on displayed by QMON.

On Sunday I was looking at a bit of SMSQE code which went into supervisor mode 
(to allow the use of A6 commented the program) so I used SPC to step round the 
trap #0 instruction. Perhaps you can use that in buff_asm.

Thanks George, I'll give it a go. Have you any idea if QMON ever worked 
in supervisor mode or is it an issue with SMSQE?

Hi
I've already mailed to Microvitec but i'm sorry to say their answer was
Unfortunately we don't have anything to offer which is compatible 
with the QL.


Luk.


Hi Luk,

The old Microvitec Monitors are fine with the QL, or any RGB output.

You will need to either solder up a cable, yourself, or get one made up.

Wiring diagrams should be found in the old computer magazines.

I have used Microvitec Monitors for years with both the BBC B, and 
the QL.


They are very reliable monitors.

There is a Sinclair QL vision monitor on SellMyRetro.com at the moment 
-

or-954

I also have a Microvitec Cub which I need to test.

The main issue is sending these monitors anywhere - I have never had 
one survive transit (except taken in a car) yet.




Hi Rich,

The early ones had a metal case - to survive the tough world of school 
use.
