Re: [ql-users] QL-PC Fileserver

Sernet should work on standard QL as long as you have the STX and SRX 
split serial ports - which means you need either SMSQ/E or H P 
Recktenwald's serial port extensions ("SimSer"). May have to use a low 
baud rate, 9,600 or lower, don't think 19,200 stands a chance on a QL. 
Obviously, for sernet, you have to have QDOS and/or SMSQ/E at both 
ends.

Serial cabling - refer to the Serial QL article, volume 7 issue 1 page 
28 of QL Today - cablign details from Tony Firshman so should work! 
(i.e. not from me!)

In all honesty your customer might find it easier to transfer files by 
disk. Getting bogged down in serial port and sernet enquiries can take 
ages to sort where it doesn't work first time. In theory, sernetting 
is easy as long as it works!

Hardware guys will have no problems. Sadly, Tony and Jochen will tell 
you how I've only ever had good success between PCs.

Subject: [ql-users] QL-PC Fileserver


Does anyone have a copy of QL-PC Fileserver for sale??
I have a customer who wants to network a PC and original QL in order 
to  transfer files.

Here we go again - cables he needs, software etc.  Surely we should 
offer  a pack ??
IIRC sernet does not work on a standard QL - what other options are 
there  if no-one has QL-PC Fileserver??

Now I seem to recall this was asked by me ages ago - but did we ever 
come  up with a solution?
