Re: [Ql-Users] It's not a QL on a Raspberry Pi yet, but .....
Hi folks, got my Raspi (just the board and a power supply) two weeks ago. Had to do quite a bit of web research to get what I need to start my projects (which are - among others - run QL software on it). Yes, SMSQmulator runs, stable, but is too slow (especially the screen handling) for serious usage. uQLx (thanks to Tobias Fröschle) runs well and with handy speed. In addition to the software part, I’ve started to make some hardware for the Pi, 1st project completed is a custom case for the PCB made out of LEGO bricks. Long story short, there are a few videos on those topics on my YouTube channel (link in the message footer below). Enjoy the summer! QL forever!

[Ql-Users] QLers meeting in Switzerland 2011 - Coffee, cake and more...
Hi all, it all started earlier this month with an invitation for coffee and cake in my offices. Yesterday afternoon some of the Swiss QL fellows met. There was even a South German QLer who joined the party. It was not only about coffee and cake (even we enjoyed that). We found the time to do some QL tinkering. Here’s the video: http://www.youtube.com/user/QLvsJaguar The pictures are in the Shows/2011 Lake Valley CH folder of my Sinclair QL Picture Gallery (see first link below).

Re: [Ql-Users] Pengi
I loved Pengi back in 1986. It was a fast fun game even on a standard QL. Would be great to see it back on track. What about a patched version for emulators or even QPC2.

Re: [ql-users] A QL Trip Down Memory Lane
Hi all One of my remaining QL tasks is to let the ITC profs remember from where the real experts/technologies are (were) coming from. Doing that I experienced the same impressions as Rick did. Once the young ITC profs hear and see what and how a QL and QDOS operated some 20 years ago they get very interessted/impressed. Eg. Our company is in a network of about 30 ITC companies. In summer 2004 the monthly First monday event was organised by me around my private QL thing. It was named The roots, the cousins, the innovations. We had a very special guest. Tim Bucher, cousin of my wife and Vice President at Apple (at that time). Both Tim and I had very personal speeches and presentations. I did some live QL demos. Eg. having 100 jobs running in parallel under SMSQ/E compared to Windows NT 4 where NT went down on that. Tim did impress us all with his inventions. My computer museum was on display with different QL systems running software. We even had a working original Macintosh from 1984. The 40 or so attandes were impressed and even today, almost 3 years later people talk about it one day or another.

The company I work for is very keen on promoting personal development outside the normal boundaries at work. Think outside the box is one of the MD's catch-phrases. Anyway, as IT Manager of this company, it became my turn to organise something concerning to my field but not directly work related: so I organised a little presentation and history tour, using my collection of PCs as illustrations. People were able to have a go, play with them, run programs and generally see how computers have developed over the years. To illustrate my presentation, I used my ZX81 (the first PC I ever owned), BBC Model B, BBC Master, Spectrum+3, Amiga 1200, Z88 and of course the Sinclair QL. I was wonderful to see the amount of fun people had with these older machines, and some of the younger members of the company were really surprised at what had constituted a computer back then! It's such as shame that for many youngsters today, learning ICT (as the schools irritatingly insist on calling it) is simply learning how to use Microsoft products . . . . One of the most interesting comments was how cool the QL looked . . . it seems that well-designed retro is in ___ QL-Users Mailing List a href=http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm; target=_BLANK http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm/a ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
Re: [ql-users] Is there was any virus on QL ?
I remember briefly that one or some Germans which were member of QUASAR wrote at least parts which could be used to build a virus. Those parts adressed infection of an _exe and once such an _exe was started (EXEC) randomly infection of other _exe on the disk occured. As far as I remember infected _exe were some bytes longer than uninfected ones. Binary compare of such files showed that the startup code in the _exe was modified and at the end of the file the virus was in place. I would love to get a hand on this code/source/documentation. Not to build bad things but to play with and understand in my lab.
