Run directly, with two small exceptions - the QLay2 emulator needs to
have timing set for the host computer. It just means running one
simple SuperBASIC program which tells you how much you have to change
the default speed value to get QLay2 to run at the right speed.
The version of QemuLator supplied is a shareware version. This is
limited ot running at the speed of a standard QL with up to 384K of
RAM. Registering it with its author (cost of $40) gets you a
registration code you enter to unlock many (and I mean many) more
features. Unfortunately, as the emulator stores the registration code
in the computer's registry, this number needs to be entered on every
PC it's plugged into (and I hope users will be considerate and
unregister it to clear the entry from anyone else's PC's registry once
you've finished using it on that PC).
Apart from that no setup. Do bear in mind that I supply it on CD, so
that you choose your own USB pen drive rather than be restricted by
any I choose to supply.

It's a great idea, though can everything be run directly or is some
type of
installation required? In other words, is it a true portable solution
or do
some installs to the host Windows computer have to take place?
Regardless,
I'll be ordering one for the convenience, particularly with the
transfer
utilities...

Not yet, there will be on some information on my website later in the
week.
Basically, it's a CD containing 3 emulators for Windows (QLay2,
QemuLator shareware version and QPC2 demo version). It also contains a
few sample QL programs (Turbo, Go!, S_Edit editor, and a text file
viewer) plus a couple of Windows utilitities (WXQT2 PC-QL file
transfer and QStripper for converting Quill DOC files to
text/html/PDF/Docbook XML).
QLay2 comes complete with a couple of DOS/Windows programs to help
with file transfer between QL and PC as well.
The idea is that you copy the CD to a USB pen drive of your choice
(minimum free space needed on the pen drive is about 80MB, so a 128MB
or greater USB pen drive is recommended. Once that's done, you can
carry it around with you to plug into any PC with a USB port, so you
have a truly portable QL you can carry around with you on a keyring
if you wish!
The CD version is available from me for 5 pounds, including UK
postage, or add £1 for overseas postage. It will be available from
Darren Branagh at Q-Celt Computing in Ireland, although I don't know
if he intends to supply it on CD to keep costs down and allow people
to choose their own pen drive, or if he intends to try to find a cheap
source of drives to supply them completely ready to go.
The QL On A Stick CD was formally launched at the Quanta workshop in
Birmingham last saturday and quite well received - I issued several
copies at the show and review copies are with QL Today, although I
don't know if Quanta actually got their review copy in the end, it got
a bit hectic at one stage! (John Gilpin - if reading this can you let
me know if you got a copy for review on saturday).
Hope that helps for now, until I get the info files in place on my
website.
