Autopsy:

This is the program QL Toolkit for the Sinclair QL home computer written by Tony Tebby (the author of the QDOS and SMSQ/e operating systems) and published by Sinclair on their Silver Label.

QL Toolkit offered a lot of facilities which Tony had originally devised for the original QL QDOS operating system, but which were never released.  It included commands to control jobs, improvements to SAVE and COPY commands, wildcard file handling, and much more.

It also contains a host of example SuperBASIC programs on the microdrive cartridges. It was later to become Toolkit II (or Super Toolkit) which was recognised as the standard toolkit upgrade to the Sinclair QL Home Computer.

Sounds of the Amiga #3, released by Triad. Another nice pack with SID-covers of your favorite amiga tunes!

This is a custom firmware build for the 1541 Ultimate II by Daniel Kahlin (tlr).

This version of the firmware addresses a few things that needed improvements.

Full History:

• Rebased to the 2.3 release. (svn r88)
• Rebased to the 2.2 release. (svn r71)
• Added GPL 3.0 license as stated by Gideon in the 1541 Ultimate-II (Fixes Bug 110 “License file (GPL) missing in source repository.”)
• Fixed filename length in print out during DMA loading.
• Added “Real Run” for files inside .d64 files which mounts, loads and runs using the BASIC prompt.
• Added “Run Tape” for .tap files which mounts tap and does LOAD/RUN using the BASIC prompt.
• Added “Run Disk” for .d64 and .g64 files which mounts, loads and runs “*” using the BASIC prompt.
• Added detection of cyclic links in .d64 directories and files. (Fixes Bug 94 “Hang when entering diskimage.”)
• Added sanity check of sector links in .d64 directories and files.
• Search until end of directory, even when hitting files with t=0. (Fixes Bug 98 “No dir listing with DEL file linked to T0, S0.”)
• Based on the 2.1 release. (svn r65)
• RUN/LOAD/mount has been reworked to hopefully be more clean. (Fixes Bug 109 “CLR/HOME ctrl code sometimes visible on running file from browser.”)
• Made DMA loading simulate the look of normal loading.
• Corrected mixup of disk id. (Fixes Bug 79 “id1 & id2 mixed in disk_image.cc (Skate or Die disk/sector id bug)”)
• Cherry-picked fix for SDCard rename from trunk. (svn r66) (Fixes Bug 105 “Renaming SDCard via U-Menu corrupts root directory.”)
• Submenues can now be exited using CRSR-left in addition to R/S. (Implements Wish 77 “Exit submenu using CRSR-left in file browser.”)
