Introm ROM for the Thor

Post by Wicksy »

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 thinking of fitting it in to a Care cartridge. Any pdf's would be welcome.

Hi

The Care ROM module is designed for fitting a 16K ROM onto the QL ROM Port area at address C000 hex.

You will need a multi ROM board that allows adding ROMs to address starting at C0000 hex.

Adding a 32K ROM image may take 2 ROM slots, I am not sure how the operating will know not to use the ROM slot used in the high 16K part of the 32K ROM.... Not I have explained right.

But there might be a system clash of ROMs if a ROM is put into ROM slot 2.


Regards,

Derek
