 I have set myself some personal goals which hopfully I will
 achieve,
 number one is to actually learn
 to program in 68000 assembler, this may appear like a strange goal
 but
 I started learning Z80a assembler
 when I was in school but had far to many distractions so I didn't
 get
 beyond getting my name to fly

There's a very good book for learning assembler, called Assembly
Language Programming On The Sinclair QL by Andrew Pennell. It was
published by Sunshine in 1984 or 1985. While obviously out of print
for years now, copies do turn up second hand from time to time. There
are a few PD documents about low level and 68000/68008 programming on
my website and on the QL Documentation CD:

At the London Quanta Group we have probably got one or more copies of 
useful books on the QL for programming, as well as general interest.

There is a QL Quanta Show coming up on 5th November 2006, at Byfleet, 
Surrey.

If you can get to that it would be a good place for getting second user 
QL stuff, as well as seeing what is new and in development.

[ql-users] Pictures of Past QL Shows in the US

2006-09-09 Thread Timothy Swenson
I'm writing a paper on the History of the QL in the US.  I'm looking for  
pictures from the US QL/Sinclair shows from about 1986 on.  I just need  
one or two pics per show, preferably a picture that shows the most people  
or represents the whole meeting.  Some of the US Newsletters have  
pictures, but they would come out poorly if I scanned them.

Thanks,

Tim Swenson
