Re: [Ql-Users] Window redraw in PE

 It does seem, in this day and age, as if Minerva should be considered a
 base system, and the use of QDOS should be deprecated.

Hear hear, that's what I've tried to sell for years now ;-) I cannot
think of any single reason to not use Minerva, except perhaps the fear
of killing the keyboard membrane when opening the QL.

Surely Minerva (together with Hermes and new keyboard membrane), is a MUST HAVE 
upgrade for EVERY plain QL (maybe switcheable to MG ROM for better 
compatibility with old games not running on Minerva).
Moreover, Minerva, Hermes and keyboard membrane are reproduceable and easily 
obtaineable. Not the Gold/SuperGold Card, which is needed for SMSQ/E.
In the beginning, I was happy to see Pointer Environment running on a plain 
68008 QL with Minerva.

Re: [Ql-Users] QL Today

2013-03-20 Thread Computer Research Centrum , Ltd
Small packet is anything up to 2kg. No steps. Costs 8,20 EUR ...
not an optional at all.

Weird.
We have steps for international shipments in the Czech Republic:
Plain shipment (EU, outside EU / priority, economy) upto 20, 50, 10, 250, 500 
g, 1 kg, 2 kg.
Recommended shipment (EU, outside EU / priority, economy) upto 20, 50, 10, 250, 
500 g, 1 kg, 2 kg.
Registered letter  (EU, outside EU / priority, economy) upto 20, 50, 10, 250, 
500 g, 1 kg, 2 kg.

Weight of usual QL Today issue is unknown to me, so I cannot calculate the 
price.
E.g. European country, priority recommended shipment, 100 g, is about 2.8 EUR.
Non-european country, economy recommended shipment, 50 g, is about 2.4 EUR.
European country, priority registered letter, 100 g, is about 3,8 EUR.
See tables at http://www.ceskaposta.cz/assets/nastroje/kompletni_cenik.pdf
page 43 - plain shipment (first table), page 44 - recommended shipment (first 
table), registered letter (last table)
24 Kč being 1 EUR, no V.A.T.

There is also press bag, but this applies to whole bag of magazines, not for 
single sheets.


But I understand, that the postage is not the main problem.

 Has anyone else tried 68k/os and got this result? Any idea what to do
 about it?

Try the 68K/OS ROM with another emulator.
The trial version of Qemulator has expired.

Anyway, It is fun to see my QL in a lab running this test, and I thought you 
might like it.

Great.
Any photos?

Re: [Ql-Users] uQLx

2011-08-30 Thread Computer Research Centrum, Ltd

in QDisk.c for the lines (around line 295) containing 'WA', 'A5'  'B5' 
as part of a switch statement.  If your processor is a big endian one, 
the code should work; however, if it is little endian (like the x86 
processors), then the tests will definitely fail - changing them to 
'AW', '5A' and '5B' should fix the working, but not the warnings.

ARM is, is far as I know, bi-endian.
Very complicated.

Re: [Ql-Users] [Raspberry Pi] August update - boards back andrunning content

2011-08-30 Thread Computer Research Centrum, Ltd

I work for Genesi , and I would like to help you with this.

The ARM core is little endian , so if it doesn't contain tons of assembler it 
should build.
I will try it myself later this week.

OK, perfect.
Once it will be able to compile for ARM on Genesi, it will be possible to run 
it on Raspberry too.

Re: [Ql-Users] a VERY expensive QL substitute?

2011-08-10 Thread Computer Research Centrum, Ltd

It is useful to convert images to 640 x 480 pixels, for web page display 
- as JPEG files - which reduces the file size to a manageable number of 
Kb's.

No JPEGs please! No lossy compression!
For computer screenshots the best option is PNG (lossless compression).

Re: [Ql-Users] Samsung QL serial ports

2011-06-09 Thread Computer Research Centrum, Ltd

Ah, so a traditional Atari switched joystick should plug into the Ctl 
ports of a Samsung QL with no adapter lead, that's good to know.

Yes, this works directly, I have tested this using Competition Pro joystick.
