Re: smsq/e on rom

Would SMS2 work natively on the QL? With no basic interpreter it must be smaller, but am guessing it only works with some software for this reason.

Re: Backplane & eprom board (SGC swap?)

Updated to offer a Super Gold Card I recently got for the items in the first post or a Ramplus.

That said any offer will be considered for exchange involving items listed.
Feel free to PM.

Introm ROM for the Thor

Hi. I've downloaded the Interlogic ROM, which I believe contains a Talent screen editor, TK2 and Turbo Tkt and a "Thor" screen dump. It loads into the backrom on Qemulator, even though it's on a 32k image. Will this work on a QL and are there any keywords to invoke, obviously tk2_ext is one?

Am ...

The obvious, modems, modem adapter, parallel connectors.

Barcode reader, speech synthesizers, micro process controller, serial mouse.

Re: BatmanQL - Joan Gayon (2025)

Well done, it's nice having ports that other machines got back then. What else is lurking in the shadows? :D

Am yet to get it working after changing the extension on both the flp and win versions. Am sure more info will come out.

A lot smoother movement to Alien Hijack, but then there's been more ...

Re: CST Expander and other updates

Agreed. But for users like me, without the equipment or knowhow, fitting existing roms taken from a cartridge would be easier than trying to find someone to make a 32k.

The downside of course is you have less software on the board. The other thing if I did get a Ramplus, is having one readily ...

Re: CST Expander and other updates

You can populate it with 4x 16k roms, as well as 4x 32k - after talking to Simon Goodwin who owns one.
There's a few 32k rom images available though.

Re: CST Expander and other updates

I'll park some other links for wiki, if I get approved I'll do them. If am turned down I won't mind.

Anyhow, the Memodisk interface. Here it mentions that most of the routines are supplied on a separate rom cart, with minimal routines on the card itself. The cart wasn't supplied with the no memory ...

Re: EBay SGC

I got mine for half that on Ebay recently on a buy it now price, 52 pounds.

Agree with your sentiment on letting others have a go. The same sale had a Quibide interface that I left for others to buy. Too many collectors have multiples of the same thing. An interest like the QL will only prosper ...
