[Ql-Users] Planet68K a new website for the old timers ;-)
On a slight aside I've been talking to Carsten Strotmann a Forth and 68K retro machine aficionado He runs a website dedicated to the 68K and has a meeting once a month on a developer orientated topic! https://m68k.info/ There is a lot of work going on for the 68K in general ... if any one is interested in doing a talk I'm sure he'll more than consider it! Failing that you may just want to visit and see what's going on ! Hope that's interesting for at least a few of you guys!

While I just tried to make a demonstration video of it I chanced upon the menu item "Sound volume" and checked it out. It was set to 50 for some reason, which not only made the sound a lot quieter but also added a lot of distortion. Probably because it's VERY quiet, much less than 50%, more like 10%. When set to 100 SMSQmulator sounds a *lot* better, more or less like QPC, only a lot louder. A setting of 90 for some reason is about as loud as QPC and still sounds good. One more thing: after starting SMSQmulator fresh it currently doesn't work at all. The MOD player plays like 30 times faster than real time but no sound comes out. The second song selected afterwards works however. Cheers, Marcel ___ QL-Users Mailing List ___ QL-Users Mailing List

Not sure how many are here that are not following the forum, but for me there have been two highlights recently that I want to share: The maintainer of the 68k backend of the Free Pascal compiler has implemented preliminary support for the QL: https://wiki.freepascal.org/Sinclair_QL https://qlforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=3=3057=10 There has been a very professionally produced YouTube repair video of a QL: https://youtu.be/0z4X4AMKlcs https://qlforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=2=3507 Are these hints interesting for anybody here?
