Hi All,
now that my QL is up and running (even without the cover!) I am trying to
recover some of my programs that are dead (microcartridges DO go bad and so
do DD 5 1/4 disks formatted as Quad Density -I know I should have used the
Quad Disks that I was selling but they were expensive!

Hi all,
has anyone tried yet to use Thierry's ATAPI/CD ROM extensions under QDOS?
Does it require the THING_rext extension?

The CD rom extension is a THING. If you have the PE installed, then you should
have the THING system loaded. The PE contains the Window Manager, Pointer Interface,
HotKey System II and the THING System (anyone should feel free to jump in with
both feet if I'm wrong about this :-) ).

It is all explained in Keith Mitchell's hardware docs. Every other line
in the ribbon is an earth. By twisting lines 10 through 13 you are
swapping the drive 0 with the drive one signal with the earth line as a
pivot. Quite what the PC one does is not clear.

Am I right to assume that the US QLs do not generate a proper (US spec
that is) Composite video signal?
I tried GND and where in the manual says PAL (which I assumed would be NTSC

It's been awhile and I'd have to haul out an old QL and a 'scope to verify

Hello again,
here's stupid question no. 2.
Since I don't remember its specs but I do remember that most multisync
monitors cannot go low enough for the QL to output on them...
Is the QL compatible with CGA monitors (or was that only TTL and not Analog?)
If it is I just found a nice adapter from
