The Sinclair QL Forum

Hello

I don’t know if this is of any help, but fey months ago I started a QL, which was dormant for 36 years with it’s original PSU. Of course, before that I checked the voltages and everything was normal (yes, I heard a lot of horror stories about old Commodore C64 power units), and is working ...

I think “out of the box” solution is the transfer via serial port, and even here there will probably be some costs for purchasing appropriate cable. Second possible solution is purchasing some device for QL which uses SD cards as, let say hard disc storage replacement. There are more of those ...

Hello.

Thank you, Andrew. I’ll try it this evening. But is this command available with QIMSI alone? I’m running it on unexpanded, non-upgraded QL (JM version of ROM, 128KB of RAM, Issue 6 hardware).

Kind greetings.

Hello


I’m learning how to use the QIMSI and I have a situation that I can’t solve. On a SD card I have three WIN container files named QLWA, QLWA2 and QLWA3. How can I convince the QL to use QLWA3 as mdv1_ drive?

If I type dir win3_ I get the content of QLWA3 container file. I want to access the ...
