Re: Broken qimsi gold component replacement

Thanks Peter. I guess that I don't need it just at the moment then. I have ordered a replacement, well, 100 of them😬

Re: Broken qimsi gold component replacement

Thanks I'll look into it, I do have a case though, I took it off for the photo and to allow me to replace the diode.

What does that other (CUS10S30) diode do because my qimsi does work, seemingly without it

Re: QL mini trump 3 card

No problems and thanks for the design. I wish that I could get the other 2 pals to work to address the RAM, but I guess that I'll settle with your V3 card and one of the RAM cards too.

Anyway, floppy images. How do I go about creating ones for a Gotek drive? Would that be with an emulator? I'm ...

Re: QL mini trump 3 card

Cracked it...I think. I placed the Trump card code in the upper half of a 27C512 EEPROM and now the system boots at least. I dont have a floppy connected yet.

The learnings (just in case others are interested are that:-

Re: QL mini trump 3 card

One thing that I have noticed is that all the Trump Card files are 32K and the mini Trump 3 and Trump 2 boards suggest a 27128 EPROM, which is 16K. So I suspect that the schematics are wrongly labeled, especially as the pinouts on the schematics show A0-A14 (32K or a 27256 EPROM).

QL mini trump 3 card

Hi

I’m working on getting a mini Trump 3 card working in my QL (https://github.com/alvaroalea/QL_MiniTrump3) but, until the PCBs arrive I have the Trump Card 2 board and am only populating the floppy relevant circuitry which is the same as far as I can see to that on the miniTrump 3 board. I have ...

Re: Wim file creation itility

Thanks for that, I'll take a look at both suggestions. I do have Qemulator but I have to register that to use WIN files, and to be honest it's a bit pricy😖 to register.
