My review has created a lot of very positive feedback from the various sites, so I am sure Marcel will have a huge success on his hands. I just hope he can keep up with demand, and that the Brexit issues won't make it too difficult for him to supply the UK market from Germany. I'm firmly of the opinion that this is one of the best QL hardware add-on projects for some time. > Per > > PS: Sorry I didnt leave a Like or a comment on your blog.

Re: [Ql-Users] QL-SD-ROM
Hi The new QL-SD-ROM looks great piece of electronic and software design. I thought last QL-SD was good, but I could not find any to buy, I fear this could be the case with this excellent piece of hardware. --- Regards, Derek On 11 July 2021 18:23:15 BST, Dilwyn Jones via Ql-Users wrote: >I've written a review of Marcel Kilgus's forthcoming QL-SD-ROM add-on >hardware for the Sinclair QL on my blog at >https://dilwyn2.wordpress.com/2021/07/11/ql-sd-rom/ > >Dilwyn >___ >QL-Users Mailing List ___ QL-Users Mailing List

Well, I knew it can all be changed, that's how SMSQ/E overwrites it, but it never occurred to me to boot another QDOS using this feature :-) Nicely done. Cheers, MArcel ___ QL-Users Mailing List

And funny, I just posted something related in the forum before reading your email. Do you cause the SGC to apply it's patches on the emulated ROM, or just restart without patching?

Turned out that the lower 48K RAM of the (S)GC isn't as write-protected as we thought! This way you can change ROMs on the QL without even having to open the case. Of course, this will need a (S)GC unlike your solution and it provides no mass storage. I still like the idea of QL-SD as floppies are too limited and getting unreliable as they age, and using a Q68 as QLnet file server is quite slow. The code for the boot loader is on my GitHub page: https://github.com/janbredenbeek/QL-Customboot Cheers, Jan. -- Jan Bredenbeek | Hilversum, NL | j...@bredenbeek.net ___ QL-Users Mailing List
