Hey Gang, I've done a revision of the website. (daily updates) Complete instructions for connecting from VICE have also been included. (Great job Path0s!) www.petscii.com/qlinkJeff

Hey thanks.. Just trial and error I do have two suggestions.. For a commandline solution to start WinVice, here's my recommendation: x64.exe -8 QuantumLink.d64 -virtualdev -truedrive -drive8type 1542 -rsdev1 127.0.0.1:232 -rsuser 1200 -rsuserdev 0 Both virtualdevices and true drive emulation should be on. Of course the drivetype above isn't actually a 1542, but is a 1541-II. (I like the pretty green! hehe) One other small thing in the advanced tips on that page. It sounds like you're supposed to put the .bat file in the qlink d64 Obviously, that's not the case, but the wording is a little blurry there. I tried and tried with WinVICE to make it autostart/load the disk by loading * or QUANTUM, but no matter what I did and what switches I used, it *always* turns off the true drive emulation when it goes to load the filename.. This is most likely a bug. Don't know if it's fixed in 1.16 or not, I'll have to try the autostart stuff in it. If it's not fixed in 1.16, I'll send off a note to one of the vice devs and see whats up Another note, I did load up jiffydos for the 64 and the 1541-II and tried loading/switching areas in Qlink and had no noticeable loading speed increases. Obviously a custom loader. If loading speed is an issue for you, try warp mode (ALT-W) during the initial load. I have *no clue* what would happen if you were in warp mode when vice tries to send or receive data from tcpser4j. So before you enter the modem command info, be sure to switch off warp mode! YMMV I haven't yet tried, but one could try using the speeddos roms and the parallel cable emulation? (ahhh isn't emulation fun!!) If there's any other questions with WinVice+QLink, me or Jeff can try to answer em here. See you all _very_ soon -P
