The Sinclair QL Forum

Updated post.

I'll just point out that I think the Sandy SuperQ Mouse board had 32k, so would possibly conflict on a backplane in what Nasta has just outlined. At least to get all 8 slots (disregarding 9 to 16 for the ROM card).

I assumed that wasn't a problem as Sinclair document it as being possible, if not ...

Not to say that is the cause in this case, just it could be.


I have to admit that when you go from using a dedicated backplane to multiple thru connected cards am a little less certain of the consequences.

Yes the extra RAM is conflicting with the ROM driver of the other card for the allocated space in the CPU mapping. All Trumpcards were restricted to no other expansion options because of this.


And you lot thought I was just thick.. :D

Thanks both for the advice. For now am going to continue with using basic as am used t it and it's giving me experience in its' use.

At the moment am weighing up if I need to include non-executable data files where such things as printer info is kept? Otherwise you would need to upload and link ...

After a couple of false starts and errors being thrown up I seem to have done it. I expecting more steps, and the manual is vague. Now I need to test it on Qemulator, it would be nice to learn how to make a rom image.

I have my eyes on a number of other apps.

And of course getting the hardware ...

It is ROM I want. And am not using PE Ralf.

I ran RPM from mdv2_
Loaded the control file from mdv1_ (entering: mdv1_control_file)

RPM then lists

1 ROMH mdv1_quill rom,64,QUILL v 2.35
2 EXEC mdv1_quill,QUILL
File not found

END with errors
Press enter to continue

Thankyou very much Ralf.

Should I then run RPM from mdv2_, and upload the control file, then Quill executable from mdv1_ when prompted?

Hi, I've next to no exp with basic, but I'd like to do the Quill example in the RPM manual.

I'm needing help on how to write the control file as a Superbasic file.
I initially tried using Quill as the text editor, but It froze up RPM, I assume cos it is saved as a Quill file. Oh well.

I've now ...
