The Sinclair QL Forum

Hi All,

My QL went dead yesterday.
Just thick horizontal lines and random pixels at the top of the screen.
Reset button inactive, microdrives inactive after power-on.

ULA ? Other big chip ?

If any idea, I'll be glad !

I found this on eBay, hoping that it works fine.

Hi Dilwyn and Derek,

Ouch ! Help comes very fast ! Thank you !

I see what to do with your explanations.
The thing is the serial cable.
Does it have to be connected on the PC side through a "serial_over_USB connector" ?
I can also transfer the file on an old PC with a real serial port. Just have ...

To Derek and Tofro,

Thank you for your help.

Concerning Toolkit or Toolkit2, Ok I can download them, but there is no way
to copy them on a real microdrive cartridge as I have a real QL. They are dedicated
to emulators (as it is written).
And copying files this way is the same issue:

Does it mean that I am stuck without the Toolkit extension ?

In his time, SuperForth was running on a blackbox. I have to find
someone who owns the "unzipped" software, send him a blank cartridge,
and get a copy.

So does someone own this rarity ?

Hi,

Yes the underline was there.

You may think I am stupid soomewhere.
The only thing beeing : why the same command worked on Qemulator
and not on the real machine.
I must specify that it is a french version of the QL. Differences should be ...

Hi all,

I finally put my hands on a very nice QL french version.
Running Superforth ended up with "not found at line 160"
If you remember it was the same topic with Qemulator.
Applying the following command ended up succesfully:

WCOPY flp2_ TO win1_ and press "A" to copy all the files across ...

Hi,

After much help to make SuperForth run on QEmulator (see "SuperForth on QEmulator = Error" post), I got a quite brand new QL. After having changed the membrane, this QL is ready for a new story.

And this one begin with transfering the Superforth Zip file to a microdrive. Unless there is a SD ...

Hi all,

Mounting Zip file is Ok. I don't know if this was the problem, but I suddenly read somewhere that higher
than level 2 of directory, made the mount fail.
So I copied the zip file at level 1 and WCOPYing to a BLANK win directory also at level 1 went fine, and it was ending the problem. I have ...
