I now have in my posession a scan of the table. Unfortunately, it's all wrong! Eg: (row 2, col 1), (row 3, col 1), (row 5, col 1) are all vertical lines. Now, which is left square bracket and which is right square bracket? (row 5, col 128) is blank. Is this 0? (row 2, col 32) and (row 2, col 128) are pound and tilde - which are the same key. How can that be? Put another way, is (row 2, col 128) the apostrophe? Can anyone enlighten me? Once I am enlightened, I will put the corrected table on ql.spodmail.com Much appreciated. Dave

[ql-users] QXLs
Hi Dave, Al and Phoebus, receiving all your mails about how to deal with the money didn't make it better at all ;-)) So I do it my way: In an hour or so I'll bring the QXLs to the post office and send them to the three of you. The shipping costs are Euro 9,50 (sorry for my stupid trust in my mailer's ability to send a Eurosign!) which is about 8 and a half dollars. I'm convinced you'll find a way to give me the money. My home address is: Wolfgang Uhlig De Karn 28 6581 WJ Malden Netherlands If you above want to reward me in any way please buy my database-handler SuQcess at the next show in America at Roy's or Jochen's. (If you don't have it already). Then you will not only reward me, but also them. In the end, they are the ones to hold the QL-world together, aren't they. All the best, Wolfgang PS: I packed the QXLs good enough I think, so I hope they will arrive in good shape.

One of the best things I can do is work hard on Qeyboard and Qemail. It's 4am and I'm currently doing PCB layout for Qeyboard, and wondering what I'll have to do to hook this TTL RGB QL up to a monitor. I will probably end up using the guest room TV and slowly going blind, like in the good old days. PS: I packed the QXLs good enough I think, so I hope they will arrive in good shape. I'll let you know when it arrives. Dave

[ql-users] Why there'll always be a QL.
Hi all, I just had a setback today. A little thing. It'll take me about a day to recover and get back to where I was. Windows threw a wobbly and was too far gone - needed a reinstall. I lost all my Qeyboard schematics. Not a biggie, I have backups on floppy, but it was just coming up to another backup moment, so the loss is about as big as it can be. I don't remember ever having a problem like this with my QL or Acorn. As for Qeyboard - I now know exactly what I'm doing with it. The design and construction method is now finalised. The prototypes came in and look ok. There was a small mistake which I corrected for the final version. I'm also working on version two. That will be a simpler design with no microswitches, but I need to obtain a whole stack of bubble mats first! Finally, Samsung made a slight mod to the membranes for US QLs to allow for the bending of the top case. They stuck tiny 2mm square bits of adhensive cloth tape to the left three keys in each row, to compensate for the travel limits of the keys at that end of the case. I never saw this on any UK QLs when working at Sandy. Dave http://ql.spodmail.com/
