"Copyright 1985 Sirius Cybernetics" is the same character length as "Copyright 1985 Sinclair Research." so it would be good internal security. Dave On Sat, Jan 6, 2018 at 8:30 AM, Dilwyn Jones via Ql-Users < ql-users@lists.q-v-d.com> wrote: > >> before t

[Ql-Users] Q68 Baud

Hi all, I have (finally) found some time to check Sernet connection between my Q68 and QPC under Win10 (Mac Book using Parallel). To get COM1 I use a USB-> RS232 converter As expected Sernet works perfectly until 230400 Baud (19200*12), to get more speed I tried  460800 (19200*24) but I got

Hi Fabrizio, > Finally what is the theoretically max ser speed of the Q68 is? 460 kBaud for the hardware itself (UART and RS-232 driver). But for the overall system, max. 115 kBaud is specified in the Manual. Beyond that it has not been sufficiently tested. Please note that many USB-SER converte

Re: [Ql-Users] Q68 Baud

Hi Fabrizio, you can find that in smsq_q68_spp_ser_asm. There , if you want, you can extend the little table at label "bauds" beyond 230400. Also change the value of "moveq #8,d3" just above the label bd_lp, probably to 9 if you only add one more value. HTH Wolfgang. Hi all, I have (

Re: [Ql-Users] Q68 Baud

Peter, configuring the driver in Win10 there are available different predefined speeds, including 460800, so I assume it should work at least from PC side. Ciao On 20/01/2018 18:00, Peter Graf wrote: Hi Fabrizio, Now playing with SMSQ/E sources, according Wolfgang suggestion (Thanks)

Re: [Ql-Users] Q68 Baud

Once you're up into 230k territory, the quality of the cable starts making an extraordinary difference, even if there is UART support for that speed. On Sat, Jan 20, 2018 at 3:25 PM, Peter Graf via Ql-Users < ql-users@lists.q-v-d.com> wrote: > Hi Fabrizio, > > > configur

Re: [Ql-Users] Q68 Baud

My experience is that internal SER cards for PC tend to work reliably at up to 230 kBaud without handshake, while most USB-SER coverters don't. Usually you notice it only during long file transfers. Am 21.01.2018 um 00:11 schrieb Dave Park via Ql-Users: > Once you're up into 230k t

Re: [Ql-Users] Q68 Baud

used is coming originally from Laplink package and it is clearly visible that the cable construction quality is excellent, the usb/ser adapter is a Digitus one, the "PC" is a Mac Book pro using Win10 with Parallels...and finally QPC. Fabrizio On 21/01/2018 01:11, Peter Graf via Ql-U

Hi Fabrizio, > I have done a sufficient number of experiment in copying and executing > files over the sernet@230400 to say that it is working. I'm glad it does, although SERNET alone can not prove the SER-USB adaptor handles 230 kBaud reliably in general. The problems usually pop up when you ha
