Sernet should work on standard QL as long as you have the STX and SRX split serial ports - which means you need either SMSQ/E or H P Recktenwald's serial port extensions ("SimSer").

Serial cabling - refer to the Serial QL article, volume 7 issue 1 page 28 of QL Today - cablign details from Tony Firshman so should work! (i.e. not from me!) In all honesty your customer might find it easier to transfer files by disk. Getting bogged down in serial port and sernet enquiries can take ages to sort where it doesn't work first time. In theory, sernetting is easy as long as it works! Hardware guys will have no problems. Sadly, Tony and Jochen will tell you how I've only ever had good success between PCs.

I have a customer who wants to network a PC and original QL in order to transfer files. Here we go again - cables he needs, software etc. Surely we should offer a pack ?? IIRC sernet does not work on a standard QL - what other options are there if no-one has QL-PC Fileserver??

Re: [ql-users] SQL on QDOS
The original idea was to write the parser in archive but in view of the feedback I think we had better think again. Perhaps SuperBasic might be better.

Most definitely would be of interest - would mean that we could offer a much more secure form of database to the wider community I should imagine - ie. the database stored within a QL emulator, which could be addressed from a PC or unix using SQL !! -- Rich Mellor RWAP Services 26 Oak Road, Shelfield, Walsall, West Midlands WS4 1RQ http://www.rwapservices.co.uk/ ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
