I have been looking for this for about the past 4 days! I got down every 1581 and 1541 type disk I had and don't have them all labeled. I have this 1581 disk labeled now, "Q-Link Buffer Data 1-7" on it. I found this by getting a finder program that works in GEOS that Maurice Randall made. cmdrkey.com/cbm/whupgrades.html I just looked for Q* on my hard drive and when I seen Q BUFFER 1 to 7 I know that was it!. It was on my number 33 Q-Link 1581 disk. I have them saved on my CMD hard drive too.
I have 8 banks of ram so 7 more then the 64 and can switch them easy using $DD80 and just putting in a 0 to 7 there to switch from $4000 to $FFFF and from what I remember this is what I done to save the Q-Link data. I think it was around May of 1991 when I did this. I remember just going on Q-Link and looking around knowing it was saving the Data. I was not sure when the Buffer would get full so it was not 100% filled up.
I did this ram form the last Transactor mag. Volume 9, Issue 6. The one megabyte commodore 64.
Any way the files are in a ZIP file at:
rayday.no-ip.com/internet/Commodore/mywebpages.comcast.net-raymondday/Q-Link_buffer/Q-Link_buffer_data.zip
The one file named "Q BUFFER BANK1" I think is a little code I used. I used Super Snap Shot to do all this. It's to bad I don't have some Text file saying what I did. It looks like this code copies some of the Q-Link code to have room there to save the data. I can only go by my memory. I have not sent this out to any one before because I did not know any one that had ram like I have. I guess some one could get this to work in a REU. It will play back just like if you were on Q-Link from what I remember. Because I have not played this back from I guess May of 1991. I remember I found one byte in Q-Link that got all the modem data.
