Alanna 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️<p>I Have neglected these projects too long ☹️. I will tidy up and get back them ASAP.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/rc2014" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>rc2014</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/z80" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>z80</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/m68k" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>m68k</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/mc68008" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>mc68008</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>retrocomputing</span></a></p>
David Hembrow<p>I just found my Sinclair QL lurking at the back of the garage. It's going to take a bit of work to get it going again.</p><p>I built it into a metal toolbox to sit beside my desk and used a separate keyboard, which was borrowed from a VT100 and rewired to work with the QL.</p><p>My QL had not the usual 128 K of RAM, nor was it expanded to only 640 K, but I had 656 K, with an extra 16 K battery backed on a board which I could also use as an EPROM emulator when doing things with other micros. That board also contains a Dallas clock chip, so I didn't have to set the time everytime that I booted the machine up.</p><p>The extra 16 K of RAM was actually in the slot usually reserved for a ROM cartridge so it usually contained the dongle from Metacomco's port of the Lattice C compiler alongside a bit of extra code of my own.<br><a href="https://todon.eu/tags/RetroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RetroComputing</span></a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/SinclairQL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SinclairQL</span></a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/SinclairResearch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SinclairResearch</span></a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/mc68008" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mc68008</span></a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/MC68000" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MC68000</span></a></p>

Alanna 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️<p>I got it free running! Took ages of reading to figure out I needed shit loads of pull ups! I nicked the reset circuit from a hackaday post, but I got a 68008 executing on a breadboard! 🤓</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>electronics</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>retrocomputing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/m68k" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>m68k</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/nerd" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>nerd</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/mc68008" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>mc68008</span></a></p>
