Abandonware Revisited

Back in 2009 this blog posted a rant about abandonware for the QL. This is one of the most frequently viewed posts indicating a general interest in the subject. The good news about abandonware is that the situation has improved dramatically since 2009. This last year saw the release of even more formerly commercial programs as freeware including Qmenu, QLiberator, QDock, QTImage, QPTR, QBase, SuQcess, QLAWK, DISA as far as QLHeaven is aware. There are probably more including 292 games.

The QL scene has been particularly buoyant with the release of a new hardware QL, the Q68, and updates to SMSQ/E, SMSQumlator, and uQLx. The release of a new Qubide driver with also runs on the Q60, and a revamp of the ubiquitous Toolkit2. New software has also been forthcoming including QLWarz, QXLwinreader, sbtohtml, Hexa-puzzle, plus updates to other programmes including Photon, MediaManager, Quill, PCB Design, QcdEze and more.

All the above information has been gleaned from a quick run through of Dilwyn Jones site updates for 2017 of which there have been 72 update entries often with multiple updates.

It is amazing that a 1980s computer and it's OS that had a commercial life of 3-4 years is still evolving.

SMSQ/E 3.32 AND FAT32 QXL.win DEVICE

This new facility is an excellent addition for Qx0 users. Back up of Qx0 hard disks and transfer of their contents to other QL systems has been problematic up to now. QPC2 uses the QXL.win file as hard disk, Supergold card QLs  would use the QUBide hard disk interface, while the disk structure of the Qx0 hard disk was based on the Atari hard disk conventions. Three incompatible systems. Here at QL Heaven the Q60 hard disk was originally backed up to compact flash cards via a CF reader, and then in addition it was copied to external hard disks via a caddy system. Both of the hard disk IDE slots on the primary ISA card are attached to caddies to allow swapping of IDE disks, not hot swapping however. Latterly the contents of the Q60 hard disk were exported to a QPC2 QXLwin file via the serial port to a USBwiz device. This was a magical system but never entirely stable or compatible with all file handling programs so the transfer was somewhat hard work.

Now there is the FAT32 QXL.win device. This is at an early stage of development but works just fine. QLHeaven can report the trouble free transfer of the entire contents of the Q60 hard disk to a QXL.win file masquerading as Win5_. A FAT 32 CFcard was used simply because one and a CF card reader were to hand. Below is the card reader sitting inside the caddy.

Below is a view of the caddies on the Q60. Find SMSQ/E 3.32 here

Digital C

Digital C is a version of small C that was sold by Digital Precision up to and including the closing sale of the QL Collection back in the early to mid 1990s if memory serves QL Heaven correctly.
The collection comprised 10 disks containing zipped copies of a digital precision programs and their manuals. Digital C is now freeware and can be downloaded from Dilwyn Jones site. The sources are also available.

Digital C was QLHeaven's easy introduction to C programming. Digital C although complex was easier for the tyro to get in to that the more powerful C68 package. QL Heaven is a 14 day C programmer. A book was bought titled teach yourself C programming in 21 days. QLHeaven got to day 14, skipped the rest and got down to programming.

Some screen savers and a program to display some graphic file formats were the results. Yesterday checking through the QL sites bookmarked in QLHeaven's browser to remove those that had been taken down, a post on Tim Swenson's site caught the eye. A smsqe-zine  from earlier this year where Tim Swenson had been playing around with Digital C and found that Digital C could only use the standard QL colours. This is not actually the case as Digital C contains functions to access QL Traps including trap#3. So here is a Digital C program running on a Q60 with grey and brown for its paper, ink and border colours. Why these colours were chosen is now beyond the ken of QLHeaven. Anyway here are some pics.

SMSQ/E modules again

Here below is a further development of the SBASIC program written by Tony Tebby to explain the modular structure of smsqe. This time the program not only lists the modules in a version of smsq/e it also allows the extraction of a given module and/or its header element. Why - simply to see how it works.

The first image below shows how a module is selected, then when selected the second image shows the extraction menu.

The bottom window in the image shows how the screen shots were captured as gifs using a program called engif. This is an amazing little program. It only understands mode 4 and mode 8 colours but it can cope with display sizes more that 512x256. It comes in a package with ungif which can show a gif on a mode4 or mode 8 QL display.

Finally below is the listing.

Q60 and QTOP Index

QLheaven is exceedingly pleased that some of this blog's posts have come to the attention of the QL Forum and have even stirred up some discussion.

The Q60 QTOP-index measurement of 108.88 mentioned in a previous post RPi and QL emulator speeds that was considered to be wrong. This post was actually about the speeds of QL emulation on a Raspberry Pi using either uqxl or smsqmulator. This post showed that these 2 emulators on the modest RPi could perform better than many of the old QL type hardware systems.

Figures for the Q60 and QPC2 were thrown in for context and perhaps some more information regarding the set up of the Q60 could have been given as this was given for the surprisingly very high QPC2 speed which was largely down the PC hardware.

QLHeaven was itself surprised by the relatively low figure of 108.88 that QTOP had produced for the the Q60. But many factors can affect the production of benchmark figures. In the case of the Q60 the setting for the 68060 processors caches will markedly affect this as will the screen size and graphics mode in use. Other software running at the same time as the bench marking software tends to have a significantly lesser effect on the benchmark level produced.Although the slightly better performace of the Q60 with write through caches and 16 bit colour at 1024x512 is thought to be due to improvements in smsq/e over the 18 months or so since the last tests.

QLHeaven will freely confess to routinely using the write through cache setting instead of the faster copyback setting as copyback often screws up compiled SBASIC, such as QLiberated programs making copyback difficult to live with. Secondly the Q60 is almost always used in 16bit colour 1024x512 screen resolution, so it seemed fair to use a QTOP index with these settings. And here is the evidence of the effect of screen resolution,size and cache settings.

                 

                   Q60 80mHz QTOP speed test results

 

Screen Size	Screen Mode	Cache	QTOP Index
1024x512	16 bit	Writethrough	110.635
1024x512	16 bit	Copyback	122.523
1024x512	16bit	Copyback*	138.096
512x256	16 bit	Writethrough	110.006
512x256	16 bit	Copyback	137.756
512x256	mode 4	Writethrough*	148.326
512x256	mode 4	Copyback*	194.845

 

* Only software running - TINDEX

As can be seen the key influences on the TINDEX result are the cache mode, screen resolution and colour mode.

Eye Candy for the Q60

For the Qx0 - Qcdeze's colour scheme has got updated. See Dilwyn Jones website.

QL World File Finder Update - Wild Search

 Some time ago it was suggested here in QLHeaven that the File Finder program from QL World in 1989 was worthy of an update. At the moment there are several file finder programs on Dilwyn Jones website. QLHeaven has had a look at most of them. Many have drawbacks, some are complex and none are as simple as the original file finder program. So QLHeaven was pleased to discover that it had been updated.

The update is still a SBASIC listing that can be launched with EX. It needs SMSQE, and uses the WMAN colours. It also uses one QPTR keyword. As QPTR is now freeware and downloadable from Dilwyn Jones site this should not be an issue. The program is also FI2 capable. The advantage of it being a SBASIC listing is that it could be tweaked if need be. For example if for some reason a search pulled up more files that the arrays used in the program are designed for then they could be expanded. Although a search that pulls up more than 2k items surely cannot be a discriminating or useful search. The lists of files found may be saved as text documents for future reference if needed, and file names can be placed in the stuffer buffer.  Files can be exed or read/edited via FI2 if required.

Below are some screen shots of the program running on an Aurora system, a Q60 system and QPC2.

Quanta version of Jan Jones Superbasic Handbook

While working on a small SBASIC program QLHeaven had a need to consult on the usage of a superbasic keyword in a copy of Jan Jones Superbasic handbook that had been bought from Quanta. Pages 171 and 172 which contained the crucial information were missing. No evidence that they had ever existed in the book. This was not a big deal as there was also a copy of RWAP's SBASIC Reference manual to hand. But QLHeaven wonders if any other copies of Quanta's version of Jan Jones book were missing pages or if indeed this was a rare copy of the book that could be worth a fortune in years to come!

Some Small Things

Firstly the price of the new Q68 QL clone is :



Q68 board, 4Gb SDHC Card, SMSQ/E: £150.00 Black Case: £20 Belkin Black PS/2 spliter: £2.00

General Release date: 09/10/2017. Derek Stewart is making a register of interested buyers.

Secondly, non destructive pop up windows in programs. There have been many ways of doing this. There was and is a DIY toolkit set of keywords that will let Superbasic, QDOS programmers make and store and replace windows, W_STORE, W_CRUNCH, W_SHOW etc. The Turbo toolkit came with some Superbasic demos that could help do the same. Then there are the QPTR and Easypointer toolkits. Each way of making non destructive windows seems quite complex. Yet in SBASIC, the keyword OUTLN does the  job.

10 OPEN#1,"con_":OUTLN#1,xsize,ysize,xpos,ypos: CLS#1 does the job. The question is how to restore the previous screen contents. Again this is simple. The QPTR keyword WREST does the job.
20 WREST#1 restores the content overwritten by OUTLN.

Both keywords originally appeared in the QPTR toolkit. This puzzle is why only OUTLN became a standard SBASIC keyword.

Q68 QL replacement due October 2017

The QL Forum and users list has been busy with the exciting announcement of the imminent launch of the latest hardware project from Peter Graf  along with the help of many QL enthusiasts: the Q68.

In his own words : -

"I hope to be able to write more about the Q68 at a later time, right now let me say thanks to...

... Laurence Reeves and Tony Firshman for releasing Minerva as free QL operating system, motivating me to develop the Q68 at all
... Richard Zidlicky for bringing Minerva plus PS/2 driver to the Q68 and his great help debugging CPU cores
... Mark Swift for QDOS Classic, structured so nicely that even I could port it to the Q68 in a single day
... Tobias Gubener for the CPU core the Q68 finally uses
... Adrian Ives for the QL-SD driver, initially used for Q68 mass storage
... Tony Tebby for relasing SMSQ/E as free software after all
... Wolfgang Lenerz for his outstanding achievement of porting SMSQ/E to the Q68
... Wolfgang Lenerz again for very helpful tools, extra drivers and docs
... Derek Stewart for his courage and lots of work manufacturing the Q68 hardware and making it available for the public"

The specification or this wondrous new bit of hardware is :

 
- Operating System: SMSQ/E
- CPU: 68000 compatible
- Speed: 40Mhz
- RAM: 32 MB
- SDHC: Two fullsize slots, hot plugging
- QXL.WIN style storage container format
- Keyboard and mouse: Combined PS/2 Connection, scrollwheel support
- VGA: 1024x768 VESA for flatscreen, CRT or HDMI converter
- Graphic modes:
- 256x256 QL Mode 8
- 512x256 QL Mode 4
- 512x256 Q60 65536 colour
- 1024x512 Q60 65536 colour
- 1024x768 QL Mode 4
- 512x384 Q60 65536 colour
- Serial port
- Stereo sampled sound, 3.5 mm output socket
- Buffered real time clock
- I2C interface
- Ethernet, no software support yet
- QL style LED colours
- PCB Size: 8x10 cm
- Recommended power supply: 5V @ 1A
- Silent operation, no fans or heat
- Case: Optional

And here are some pictures :

 
 

 

The price is apparently still to be decided. The launch is pencilled in for October this year. while this is a great new venture that should expand the base of QL users with up to date hardware one nagging concern QL Heaven has for this system is the graphics VGA signal as only the mode 4 1024x768 resolution will work with a flat screen monitor, the other resolutions will require an CRT monitor unless there is something that QL Heaven does not know. Why not include a "PC standard" resolution with high colour as well as the older QL compatible resolutions? None the less QL Heaven will need to get one.

Mouse Woes

It was time to replace the trusty QL mouse. As you know the QL can use an number of interfaces to connect to a mouse. There are the built in interfaces in the Qx0 series, there is the QIMI mouse interface which can be connected to the original QL mother board and which is built in to the Aurora mother board replacement, there is the mouse connection on the SuperHermes board, and there is SNG's DIY mouse software. What they all have in common is that they use a serial mouse connected to a serial port.

But serial mice are no longer manufactured other than USB mice. My QL mouse has a PS2 connection which is connected via a PS2 to serial adapter.

So it seemed all that was needed really was a PS2 mouse. After ordering and returning 3 PS2 mice that did not function at all with the Aurora the truth was finally discovered. My PS2 mouse was a combo PS2/Serial mouse. The adapter merely transferred the connecting wires from the PS2 socket in to the correct locations for the serial port.  The mouse itself could run in both PS2 and serial mode and could detect which protocol was being used.There is no way of knowing looking at the mouse that it is a combo mouse and these serial/PS2 mice also seem to have disappeared. The PS2/"serial" mouse now is a PS2/USB mouse.

Is there a supply of older mice out there somewhere or these obsolete mice. Are there adapters that themselves can convert PS2/USB protocols to serial allowing the use of modern mice on older computers? 

It would be nice to use a wireless optical mouse with the QL.
