Re: [ql-users] Looking for advice - Use Sernet
If you use SIMSER extensions you can add serial port extensions to the QDOS serial ports, it will allow a standard QL to use Sernet, but only at 9600 baud.

I got hooked by the HP65 in 1973 or so at Ford. It was the cause of me leaving Ford in disgust but that is another story. I went to a meeting of the Cambridge University Computer Preservation Society (CUCPS) recently where I met the HP65 agian, and many other HP calculators. I will be giving a talk (with son Ben) on 30 April at Cambridge entitled "The Sinclair QL: Recent Developments 1984 -- 2002" If anyone is interested, I will publish details of where etc when I have them.

Hi TF services once made me up a serial to serial cable with one QL conector and one standard connector. I used it to transfer files from a basic QL with microdrives to an AMIGA 1200 running the QL emulator. Transfer was accomplished by using a basic program to send and receive from QL to emulator, the highest baud rate achieved was 1200 so it was slow.

I agree totally. Whats more, not only is programming more difficult, but more expensive. What do you buy now if you only have a couple hundred quid and want to start computing? Your only option is a second hand PC - It'll buy you nothing new. I bought my Speccy for £99.95.. Granted, that was a bit of money in 1983, but not as much as £1,000+ is now for a new PC. What I'm saying is it was easier to get into then and was a relatively cheap hobby once you'd got the gear. Not any more :-)) I think I spend more on my PC than I do on my Girlfriend... probably more time too. >The only thing that breaks the montony is Linux - you can get >some good arguments going between Windows and Linux fans.

RE: [ql-users] Looking for advice
Ah I vaguely remember Robin Barker (Di-Ren) doing a thing called "QL Fileserver" I think about 9-10 years ago. I think it connected a QL and PC and had software and the cables, and cost about 19.95. Actually, I almost bought it prior to getting a (then) cheap trump card from Steve Johnson of SJPD for 100 pounds;-)) I also think you could use it to link the QL and PC versions of the game "Fleet tactical command" that he sold. So, network gaming was first on the QL.;-)) (hope I'm right here...) I bet Dilwyn remembers.. He has a great memory for stuff like this.

Re: [ql-users] Looking for advice
You'd probably be better off picking up a trump card or similar 2nd hand floppy I/F and a cheap drive unit - would probably be as cheap as getting cables made and trying to get SERNET on a MDV cart.

Hi My son (7 year old) is programming basic on a plain standard ql. Id like to give him some files from my Q40, but I dont know how. I have no commuincation software on mdv, and I have never seen such serialports. The ql doesnt have a floppy interface. Any suggestions ? /Michael Grunditz
