[Ql-Users] Reports of a disassembler to explore?
Greg Clare/DigicoolThings published a disassembler plugin on GitHub for MC6800, MC6809, 6502 and related CPUs. Paul Holmgren 2 57 300-C's in Indy Hoosier Corps #L6 CPUs run on smoke. I know this because when the smoke comes out, it stops working. ___ QL-Users Mailing List

SO: this works within HxD a windows program at https://mh-nexus.de/en/ (I use it for some editing of other stuff that's Windows only) and more info and the link that should have made it: https://github.com/DigicoolThings/HxD_DasmDataInspectorPlugin Paul Holmgren Hoosier Corps #L6 JCI #74145 CPUs run on smoke.

I explored the download potential: Latest Firefox did throw a warning BUT there is a click here that allowed the download to happen, a virus scan AFTER the Download did Not detect anything as a danger, Will poke around a little later to see If I can find a clue as to why FF threw a warning I took the chance because my KungFu is strong! :-) Paul Holmgren 2 57 300-C's in Indy Hoosier Corps #L6 CPUs run on smoke.

There is an equivalent at ?23 at https://www.allbatteries.co.uk/lithium-battery-3v-270mah-40lf220-equivalent-mgl0025.html or you could ask https://www.vlad.fr/en/various-professional/7883-battery-lithium-3v-270mah-industry-type-2840lf22029.html https://www.laboiteapiles.com/produit/124/40lf220 claim to have some in stock However I think what you are after is a CR2032 replacement in a holder. Marcel mentioned a holder at https://www.kilgus.net/2018/05/22/ql-sd-ql-microsd-and-sgc-battery/ Dave on the QL Forum had https://qlforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=1137 but I think you are remembering https://qlforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=2=387=battery The Russian ones when back online were https://www.sellmyretro.com/offer/details/28481 Regards John Thanks, that prodded my memory, Is Dave Park still around?? ___ QL-Users Mailing List

I'm having a 'Senior Moment' there was a gent in the USA that had an adapter I thought. Just can't dredge up his name.

I Spy John and Don here. I still sample the message traffic here every now and then. Perchance did either one of you keep the stack of bare 2068 cartridge port boards you guys got from me?? Seems they can still be put to use.

I remember reading articles by you in IQLR years ago. I'd seriously suggest joining QL Forum (qlforum.co.uk) too, if you have not already done so. And if you're on Facebook, try the Sinclair QL For Everyone group. Loads of QL users on both sites. Best wishes.
