Re: [ql-users] SMSQE and the Qx0
Wolfgang Lenerz wrote: I'm told that it might be possible to use larger Eproms on the Qx0 for this, to give us 512 KB of ROM space, which should be enough for the foreseeable future. It is possible to use larger EPROMs, but they are 4Mbit chips (256Kbit x16) which results in 1024 KB of ROM space. I have already tried to source these Eproms here in France, but have been unable to find any suitable Eproms (!). There are several manufacturers and different naming conventions. The one which is at the moment easy to get for me is the 27C4002-100 from ST. A datasheet can be found at: http://www.st.com/stonline/products/literature/ds/2386/m27c4002.pdf Prices are Euro 12 per chip. I would like not to be involved with SMSQ/E (unless it becomes free software of course) but if my help is required I can provide a batch of empty chips. If there's reply, private email please, I look at ql-users only every few months. Bye, Peter ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

If it's been said before, then say it again so we know who feels which way about it. I personally enjoyed every minute of it - Great pictures Tony - Thanks. I also had problems sleeping on Friday night due to the noise from the heating system (I had left my window open all evening so the temperature itself was okay). Saturday night wasn't so bad, which probably had something to do with getting to bed late after consuming plenty of Guinness and red wine before/during/after the evening meal! Other than that, I had a great time. Two comments: 1) We could have done with more space in the main room on Saturday. 2) I would have preferred it if at least a rough schedule of talks had been posted, say, in the main room and outside the lecture room so that people could catch up with what was going on and do a little bit of forward planning (e.g. I'll go and do X now so that I'm ready for Geoff's talk in half-an-hour).

Indeed - there was a heating problem. Other than that, I had a great time. Yes. Two comments: 1) We could have done with more space in the main room on Saturday. Yes. It would have helped if the air in the room had been a bit better too, but that was probably also down to the heating/failing climate control. Although it was said that on Saturday, 42 visitors were present, it looked a bit empty due to the talks. Maybe it was also that I missed some of the usual visitors from abroad ... I think except for Marcel and myself, there was no one from abroad (Germany, Switzerland, Ireland etc) Even so, I met new faces to names which I had not met during the 20 years in the past :-) Cheers Jochen -- Jochen Merz Software - Kaiser-Wilhelm-Str. 302 - D-47169 Duisburg Tel. +49-(0)203-502011 Fax +49-(0)203-502012 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Homepage: http://SMSQ.J-M-S.COM ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
Re: [ql-users] New QL2K for QL is 21
Simple Answer : no time. Wife now working nights, and we have a 2 year old that has now been diagnosed with Attention deficit disorder - basically, hes wild as a tiger for 20 hours a day, and can get by with little or no sleep. Hence why I was unable to get to QL21 myself. I can still get them at very low prices - the smallest we do now though is 256Mb, with even 128Mb now end of life. At the top end we are doing 4Gb ones! I may look at it again soon, I did some work of collating data for the stick, and some basic work on a front end. Maybe over the xmas break, but it would be nice to have them before xmas...

Re: [ql-users] GST C Compiler
Timothy Swenson wrote: Here is another request for help from the QL Community. I'm trying to track down the status of the GST C compiler. I know that Quanta had aquired it and was selling it around 1995. I've been in contact with Quanta and they no longer have any copies of the compiler and really don't know much about it. I was given a copy many years ago and never really played with it. Recently I pulled it off the shelf and am interested in tinkering with it, but I would like to know if it is now free or not. So, does anybody have a clue about the GST C compiler? Are you sure it was a C compiler ? I remember having used a GST Assembler/linker, but for C I first went along the Metacomco (with Eprom), then C68 lines. That was the only C compiler I know for the QL. (Moreover, I remembered that the GST Assembler was Quanta-deliverable.) ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
