RE: [ql-users] Hardware platforms

Personally, I'm very happy for being able to use QLAY nowadays, but we perhaps must think about not repeating the history. If QLAY, uQLx, QPC or other emulators are what we want to conserve for the future... well, but an independent operating system of the propietary hardware would be, in

Speaking of Sbasic... Wouldn't it be nice to avoid 'word clashes' by following some kind of convention? Interesting. I've been thinking about the same thing recently. And not just confined to clashing toolkits. By extending SBASIC in an uncontrolled manner you run the risk of older programs

Hello Derek, This is what I tried last night: Bearing in mind what you said about needing an already existing partition one, the disk I tried this time is an IBM 6Gb. The first partition is QWA approx. 256Mb, the second is Linux SWP approx. 128Mb and the remainder of space is one or two LNX

You need to reformat the start of the drive from QDOS Classic, with the FORMAT WIN1_ command - not too sure how you ensure that this does not overwrite the Linux partitions and I don't have a Q40 to try it out... Rich Mellor RWAP Software I'll give that a try. I'll use the spare disk

Quiet in here innit? Did everyone OD on Guinness at/after the QL show and still suffering the mothers of all hangovers?? ;O) Can somebody enlighten me as to what a Qubide hard disk is? Is it a special hardware unlike a normal IDE disk and only available from one supplier? Is it a normal

Happens here all the time. I don't remember whether the switch to Quanta to host the list was about the same time as the bank switched to Exchange server for its email. Before that I always got the list messages in the correct order. I always blamed the bank's move to Exchange... Ian.

This makes good sense and is a resonable plan for the future. The only problem with the conversion to C is that it may not fit into an old machine. Sure. I envisaged that any project in C would be only as a way forward for the higher spec. machines, existing and under development. The

Let's try to be reasonable here. Up until now, development of the sources - ALL OF THEM - was done with the system as described in the style guide. In my mind, it is essential that, at least for the time being, we keep that system: if we change tools and sources at the same time, the
