Hi,

Every Superhermes cable to 5 Pin DIN to PS2 cable I have bought or made all work, no failures.

Even on PS/2 Switch ports

Okay...so what are the advantages?

QemuLator runs very version of QDOS, loads MDV images, can create FLP images.

The emulator is well worth the money and registration encourages Daniel to continue developing software.

Hi,

I used to use a PS/2 keyboard on a Superhermes, an AT Keyboard to PS/2 keyboard is required. These can be bought commercially or made.

This was also used on the Q60 AT Keyboard to PS/2 keyboard.

Hi.

I was working with my QL when the power went out. Now, when I swith on the QL, it displays the message "FAT is wrorng" and no QubIDE's partitions are accesible. Is there any tool to fix this or I must reformat :( ?

Sounds like the Qubide partition table has been corrupted, I think you ...

Hi,

You could use the ramfail_bas program on the Minerva Utilities disk, which will identify the ram chip in question.

Look at Nightfall Crew where the QL ram failure is analysed: https://www.nightfallcrew.com/?s=minerva+ram+fail

HI,

I do not seem to have a disassembly of DBAS, which is strange, as this is one of my most used extension/systems on the QL.

If you want I can produce a disassembly and post it on Github

Hi,

Could the addition of Level 2 filesystem be done as an extension or module, yhat can bd loaded on boot up, rather than altering every emulator.

Hi,


The problem with DBAS, was the source code was not supplied. I am sure, I may of disassembled DBAS, I used to disassemble everything to learn how to program in assembler.

I will look at my backup files.

Hi,

I won this from eBay, a GW Instek GDS-820S Dual Storage, 150 Mhz Oscilloscope.

Any chance of adding support of PIC files and JPG via Photon?

No, no chance. I mean, I can easily add it, but why?
QLCommander has support for FileInfo, and through FIleInfo it supports any kind of extension.

OK, no problems, I have Fileinfo2 configured for this anyways.
