Re: Problems with File Operations and Disks....

Thank you for the detailed anwer.

Now it looks like this:

The problem could be the QL itself:
Two times QL Cavern started from a disk (copied with Qemulator to a QL-formatted DD disk.
But only two times :(

Then I tried to load QUILL's clone from an old cartridge and the same (?) problem occurs ...

Problems with File Operations and Disks....

Hello,

I have some problems with my disk drives, controller and/or QL - I don't know :roll:
As a controller I use a Sandy Board with 512KB and the drives are a "modern" TEAC (1,44MB) and an old TEAC (720KB; Atari ST). The disks I have are used HD disks, formatted to 720KB. And the QL is a German ...

Re: *** SOLVED *** 3.5 " floppy connection to qdisc interfac

It seemed that there was no system in the appearence of the problems.

But to be honest - I have to clean up my desk and mark the available disks.
Then I have to make tests to find out, which drive can read/write which disks and if there is a pattern visible...

Re: Monitor Connection?

... I had a cool black color monitor (Prism?) for our QL but now 25 years later I'm looking for an alternative to connect the QL to a modern VGA screen.

What a coincidence that last week I could buy the same model PRISM QL 14 monitor we had in the good old days... :D
It was offered on ebay as ...

Re: Crashes caused by heat?

Hello Tobias,
thanks for all your information and for the hint with these regulators.
I exchanged both - in the QL and on the disk controller.
System is working, so my modification didn't damage anything. :D
Let's see, if it will be more stable in the future.

Crashes caused by heat?

Hello,

my QL crashes/freezes after some time of use.
Could this be a general heat problem?

I made a picture of the board with a disk interface attached on the left.
This heat sink of the interface becomes VERY hot after a while!
And does anybody knows, if these "modification" on the CPU are ...

Re: how to get zipped files onto ql floppy pref. unzipped

My unregistered Q-emulator version has about 300kB RAM.
With this it was possible to unzip at least one or two times before the memory error came.
Then I simply started the emulatur again...
