* note from Urs König, re. Thor8-410, Thor 8-421 and Thor21-522 above: "Those 3 are the same software (Drivers and Toolkit not the OS, similar to what’s on a TrumpCard or a SQB) in different versions. They all go into a single 27256 EPROM to be placed in the Thor 8 or Thor 21 EPROM board (see this picture, EPROM with label 4.21).

ROM versions prior to JS (e.g. AH, TB, JM) were early Sinclair ROMs. They are perfectly usable and many people still have AH or JM ROM QL systems. Version JS introduced several new features such as WHEN ERROR error trapping, WHEN variable value monitoring, and TRA translate features. JSU was a version of the QL ROM for North America. With the MG ROM came several international versions such as MGF for France, MGI for Italy and so on. Over the years, there have been some derivatives made, such as the 4MB version of the JS ROM, and John Alexander's MGUK ROM. The CST Thor computers used a derivative of QDOS called Argos as their operating systems. Later, the Minerva ROM was created by a small team at QView (Jonathan, Stuart and Laurence, hence the "JSL1" version of SuperBASIC). It's not really known for certain how the two-letter Sinclair ROM versions came to being, one theory had it that they were initials of Sinclair staff (e.g. JM may have been the initials of John Mathieson) or even taxi drivers who ferried QL bits and pieces around for Sinclair!

MGB ROM

QDOS version 1Y13, SuperBASIC version MGB. Seems to be a Swedish customisation of the MG ROM, produced by a Swedish importer of QLs called Beckman Innovation AB in 1985. The lower 32K seems identical to a Sinclair MG ROM, while the upper 16K has a custom Swedish translation of the QL messages, and a keyboard table for the Swedish keyboard layout. The upper 16K was supplied in a 16K EPROM along with a Sinclair ROM. I am not certain of the copyright status of the MGB ROM - maybe if someone is in contact with anyone from Beckman, we could try to find out, or remove the ROM image if still subject to copyright. Here are a couple of pictures of two different installations, the first from Pär Högberg, the other from a user on QL Forum, with thanks. One installation has an EPROM with handwritten label, mounted on a small circuit board, while the other has a more professional looking label, mounted in what looks like the original ROM holder, but with a few flying leads around the EPROM. Click on the images to see a larger photo.

Tyche ROM

A bit of a novelty is the Tyche ROM (apparently pronounced "tie-chee"), a final and unreleased 64K ROM for QL hardware, available in the table above. Phoebus Dokos tells me that although he couldn't get this to work with the QemuLator QL emulator, he did manage to get it working with the QLay emulator. The QLay.rc file should look like this:

-r c:\roms\tyche-tra.rom
-c FC000@nfa.rom
-l win1@qlay.dir
-l win2@sub2\qlay.dir
-l mdv1@qlay.mdv
-f 11538.46

Replace the -f with the appropriate one for your machine, says Phoebus (sorry, not being a QLay user I don't have a clue what all this means!)

Dave Westbury has sent me a ROM listing and made some notes on new commands, etc in the Tyche ROM.

Minerva Hint - Faster Loading (from Silvester on QL Forum)

There has been a long-standing problem with Minerva >v1.93 using FLP on non-Gold machines. The reintroduction of the IPC interrupt can add enough overhead to upset disk sector interleave. The solution was simple enough, use POKE!!53,128 in boot files to disable it (restored using POKE!!53,192 or upon reset). It can make a considerable difference to the time taken to load large files!

EPROM Utilities

mageprom.zip Magnetic Eprom is a program to convert a 16K QL EPROM image into a version you can LRESPR to run from RAM (Jeremy Davis) (23K) [08/10/06]

softeprom.zip SoftEprom v1.10 relocates EPROMs from the QL EPROM slot to file, allowing you to save backup copies and in some cases (relocatable ROMs) run more than one EPROM copy. (Emmanuel Verbeeck) (8K) [08/10/06]

Qubide

Several ROM images for the Qubide IDE hard disk interface - different versions of the Qubide ROM had varying map layouts for the hard disks, etc (v1.50 includes a program on the utilities disk to update the drive map), so I've tried to put some of the main "vintages" here. Note that to upgrade a v1.mm Qubide to v2.nn, the GAL1 and GAL2 chips also need to be updated.

qub136rom.zip Qubide ROM image v1.36 (9K)
qub137rom.zip Qubide ROM image v1.37 (9K)
qub139rom.zip Qubide ROM image v1.39 (10K)

qubide-gpl.zip. Derek Stewart has kindly sent me a copy of the Qubide 2 sources, which Phil Borman and Ron Dunnett have released for free distribution via GPL Licence. (337K)

Qubide manuals are available from my Replacement Manuals page.

MonQubIDE - a BASIC program for monitoring at low level the Qubide cards and devices attached. No docs, but it's menu driven and easy to use. Commands available include Change Devices Position (expander); Software Reset Devices (both); Execute Devices Diagnostic (both); Select Master/Slave device; Identify Device (ATA/ATAPI); Write Device Control Register; Write Command Block Registers; Write Command Register; Read Sector (ATA only). Some of these commands should only really be used if you know what you are doing with such devices at this level! (Alain Haoui) (5K) [09/12/16]

José Leandro has produced a Qubide clone. He has a website about it here (Spanish) or here (English). Habi's Windows software "Image Editor" is available from the same page - this allows us to handle zip, image and individual files on a Qubide's flash memory card on a Windows PC (or Linux system with Wine). In case of difficulty, the software is also available to download here (4106K)

QubATA Software

This is the ultimate QubATA driver package Version 3.11 for various QL platforms with IDE/ATA/ATAPI controller, namely : QubIDE card, QubIDE clones, Tetroid TDI interface and Qx0 systems. For each platform, the driver is provided in RAM and ROM binary format. This version benefits from some improvements, bug fixes, new features and new commands as well as a complete assembly programming interface.It remains compatible with previous QubATA versions and could be used with already existing formatted disks and medias. Package includes an updated Manual in PDF format and some utilities. Refer to ReleaseNotes_txt file for details. (Alain Haoui) [12/11/24]
QubATA311.zip (1.1 MB)

For posterity and in case of any issues arising with the latest version above, I'll keep v3.10 here for now. This is a complete new driver for QUBIDE cards fitted with the version 2 GAL chip upgrade and Q40/Q60. This is version 3.10 and now includes versions for Qubide, clones and Qx0 in one zip file. Make sure you read the PDF and text files included. The CDExplorer and CDPlayer programs are also included. (Alain Haoui) [11/05/17]
QubATA310.zip (912K)

Problems Saving From Quill To Qubide On Level 2 Systems

Some users have reported difficulty in saving Quill _doc files to a Qubide system. The symptons include a _doc file of 0 or 64 byte length with no text. Qubide v1.xx does not even report an error (QubATA does, so at least the user is aware there is an error). The problem is due to fact that Quill grabs all memory which doesn't allow the WIN driver to save or load correctly doc files. Unfortunately, this problem cannot be solved by the driver (only reported) because any level 2 driver has at least to load directory record in memory to be able to handle file access. It may work on level 1 driver (as RAM or native FLP). To fix the problem, we need to use one of the known methods to prevent Quill grabbing all the available memory, e.g. EXEP Quill,p,256 to allow Quill 256K memory under pointer environment, or something like Simon Goodwin's Taskforce program, or Martin Head's Psion_Mod, which allows you to limit memory used by Quill as long as you have the Toolkit 2 command EX available to pass the memory size to it as an option command parameter (Toolkit 2 available here). Alain Haoui has sent me a copy of his modified Quill - download it here (37K)

Alain Haoui has sent me a package of ready modified English Psion 2.30 programs (Quill, Archive, Abacus and Easel). These allow youto set memory they can use and have a cursor for task-switching more easily. Configured to run from FLP1_ and data on FLP2_. Please note that these modified versions can’t be (re)configured with the original PSION utility as it will not be able to find items on expected offset addresses. Refer to Martin Head's Psion_Mod package mentioned above for more info. However, all configuration items can be passed as parameters to Mods. Look at Martin Head PSIONMOD_DOC inside this package for instructions. All this needs Toolkit 2 activated.

Second Processor

ipc8049.zip A commented disassembly (as a Quill _DOC file) of the IPC8049 second processor chip software in the QL. (Laurence Reeves) [08/10/06]

Sinclair QL Printer ROM

Urs König has kindly supplied me with a ROM image of the firmware from the QL printer. The original QL printer was based on a Seikosha SP-1000 / SP-800QL circuit board (see pictures below, also from Urs).

CST Q+4 Rom Image

The CST Q+4 is a four way expansion backplane for the QL, consisting of a large black metal case which sits under the QL, a QL-style power supply and a small circuit board which plugs into the QL expansion port, connected to the Q+4 by a small ribbon cable. The device includes a small EPROM with startup software for the Q+4 and to help ensure the unit works with multiple add-on boards on early QL systems.

Assorted ROM Images

A preserved collection of disk interface ROM images, etc. Partly for posterity (at the time of writing the QL is 30 years old, so many of these risk disappearing altogether if we don't make the effort preserve them for the future), partly for repair of secondhand disk interfaces. I have no information about these ROMs and don't know if any of them only work on specific versons of the interface hardware, for example. All remain the copyright material of those who created them as per the copyright messages held within most ROM images.

Includes versions of Sandy SuperDisk (disk interface) ROM, Trumpcard, Tyche, JS and Minerva plus a couple of other chips. The philosophy behind the MESS QL emulator is that roms should be unmodified, so they are direct images of the ROMS and can be burned back to eprom and used on real hardware if required.

A few more interface ROMs and ATR device ROMs may be found on Marcel Kilgus's site here.
