[Ql-Users] FDI driver
Martin Head has now made available an FDI (floppy disk image) driver utility to
go with the MDI (microdrive image) driver. Here are the descriptions from my
website:
MDI Driver (279K download) - a device driver for emulating the microdrive
cartridges as used in the Sinclair QL, as a file stored on another device.
Specifically developed for use with QPC2, but should work with most emulators.
Since QL compatible systems generally have no microdrives, this lets you use
saved microdrive images on emulators. Includes images of Quill, Archive, Abacus
and Easel. To create your own images of microdrives, you will need a real QL
with working microdrives and read the text file "Creating_Images_txt" supplied
to see which program to use and how to go about it. Apparently even microdrive
'random number' finger prints are copied, allowing even some protected older
programs to be run! The driver lets you load and save from/to these microdrive
images.
FDI Driver (330K download) - for running floppy disk images on QL systems and
emulators. Works on level 1 DSDD 720k and DSSD 360k disk images (no support for
HD or ED disks and no support for level 2 directories) to allow simple
straightforward copies of disk software to be run. Includes a program written
in BASIC to make the images on a QDOS system with a floppy drive, or you can
use 'raw' disk images created with software such as EMT4WIN for Windows, plus a
program to make ('format') blank disk images, sample blank 360K and 720K disk
images, plus a demo image of Xchange.

Re: [Ql-Users] Superbasic Syntax rules for Textpad
It's a very configurable text editor, I went through 5 others effort settling on Sublime. I've got colour schemes for the syntax done and turbo and toolkit extension keywords, drives however I cannot overcome certain operators such as ^ \ and ^^ they seem to be preferred symbols as part of the editor/python. However, I think it is possible to do auto numbering like ED, and running QemuLator or QPC2 from within the Editor, something the others cannot seem to do. However learning python even the dummies guide is not telling me what I want to know. The Sublime forums seem to only speak in "you already know it" speech, which is a bit off putting. If anyone here knows more and wants to help please contact me.

Re: [Ql-Users] Superbasic Syntax rules for Textpad
I use TotalEdit as my preferred text editor - anyone fancy working on one for that?

Re: [Ql-Users] Superbasic Syntax rules for Textpad
Seem to have set the ball rolling what with the ones fro microemacs, VIM, TextWrangler etc. Hope these syntax files help you put one together for SublimeText - I've never heard of that particular one but will look it up now.

[Ql-Users] Superbasic Syntax rules for Textpad
Superbasic Syntax rules for Textpad If anyone has the Textpad editor for Windows and would like to use it to edit QL SuperBASIC programs (with user definable sytax colouring etc) I've added a copy of SuperBasic.syn from Laurence Reeves (author of Minerva) to my website. There is a link to it from Laurence's website at http://www.bergbland.info but it's a broken link, however, luckily I had saved a copy of it some time ago which happens to still be on my PC.
