Does anyone know the web address to the interesting QL website which you can
access after filling out the questionaire? I've tried searching for it and
checking out links on other QL websites but can not find it again.

Current version is 0.04 Build 002.
Development is now frozen while I finish testing so that I'm satisfied it's
good enough to put out as a beta.
The INPUT bug reported last time is fixed (slave block issue).
Problematic initial handshaking under JM QDOS is fixed (yet again!) with a

Hi Tobias,
thanks for your thoughts on this. And your guess on Pennell's solution
is correct :) Very interesting piece of information about driver
shadowing. Obvious, once you think about it but I hadn't thought
about it :)
Cheers,

Thanks for the information. The link was the right website.
The reason I was asking is because I have some documentation and diagrams on
how to adapt a pair of ICL One-Per-Desk Microdrives for use with a Sinclair

No, it's RAMTOP, i.e. the highest RAM address, but below the RAM are
the ROMs etc. On a QL you will probably have to subtract 131072 to

The card pictured is not a memory card, but instead looks like the buffer

without it, but you might have problems if you use more than the first two

Hi all,
After a bit of back and forth, it looks like I will be assembling the
remaining stock of Tony Firshman's Mplane. If it happens, they will be
available in about 2-3 months.
Just a quick plug, as I seem to have been asked about disk interfaces a

Hi QL gang,
I fired up my QL this evening and it would stay on the F1/F2 screen, no matter
how hard I press the F1 and F2 keys...
My setup is:
Aurora board
SuperGoldCard
QUBIDE
Minerva MK1
As I said, it would not boot past the welcome screen. Not even the Minerva
timeout to the default F2
Dear François,
I doubt a dead SGC battery could be the origin of your problem. Try instead
removing the Qubide and see what happens, the further stop to be 100% sure
would be also to remove Aurora and reinstalling if needed the missing chips
on the QL motherboard to see whether the original QL
36 matches
