Re: [Ql-Users] I want a NEW QL
Morning all, Yes, we can all remain hopeful - of a Super God Card - this could be the way the supreme being operates too ... :-) Hmm, the Super God Card, wonder who designed that then? Nasta? Who wrote the firmware? Marcel? Can you imagine the manual : In the beginning Nasta created the Super God Card. And the SUper God CArd was without form and function. And Nasta said 'Let there be Marcel'. And there was Marcel. And Nasta looked upon Marcel and saw that he was good. And Nasta said unto Marcel, Go forth and write code! And Marcel went forth and wrote code. And Nasta looked upon the code and saw that it was good. And Nasta said unto Marcel Open #3, 'flp1_universe_dat'. And flp1_universe_dat was opened for input and output! Are there 'ordinary' god cards as well? I could go on for hours here, so I better stop!! :-) Cheers, Norman. ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
Re: [Ql-Users] I want a NEW QL
Hi There is also the MESS emulator. This emulates many of the old 1980's machines including the QL. However I'm not sure what the present status of the QL drivers are (it did boot last time I looked). If anyone is looking for a pocket QL they might look at taking the MESS QL drivers and add them to the PPC version of MAME.

If you have an old copy of Windows kicking around, you should be able to run it in a virtual machine under Linux and run QPC2 on that (Ive tested the free VirtualBox on a Vista machine and run QPC2 quite happily on a virtual W2k.

I couldnt get QL2k to run under Wine, but I havent yet thoroughly debugged my setup and the boot process - there is still hope. Last but not least, theres uQLx, which runs under Linux and is free. Not much development seems to be happening on that front at the moment. It doesnt do hicolor and Im not sure it will run SMSQ/E, the latest, and some would say the best, incarnation of Qdos.

Thanks to all who have replied to this thread. I have decided that I'll get my old Pentium 1 computer out of my Lock-up, Format the HD, Install Ubuntu Linux, emulate the QL on that machine. I have the QL Emulators' CD, which has TK2 on it, has it also got Minerva on the CD as well? Now what I would like to know is how does QDOS/SuperBasic interface with the Linux TCP/IP ports, are their any Internet related QL programs existing, (Browser, Mail, News, RSS, FTP, etc.)? Regards Andy Barber Hi Andy, Welcome back to the QL fold. I actually have a QL in a PC tower, which has: Super Gold Card Aurora motherboard (256 colours,1024x756 resolution) QubIDE v2.01 Hard Disk 3.2GB 2 x ED Floppy Disk Drives It connects to an SVGA monitor - I have one, here, but with you in London, it is cheaper for you to get one from a local PC shop !! CRT is alas better with the QL, although the Aurora can handle LCD screens - not quite sure of the settings for that. *#*Snip#*# __ Sent from Yahoo! Mail.
