I think a 96Kb is ok, rather than an, it's how it scans that's important, an followed by 9 or ninety doesn't scan.

Would it make more sense for the Pi to simply produce a video display by decoding some RAM attached to it, and that RAM be written to instead of or as well as the internal RAM of the QL - like dual ported RAM, but the pi can then take the memory and produce hdmi output from it's own driver? To the ...

It was so long ago that I did this on the original QL board - I had the issue 5 board and repurposed the LS logic chip that provided some additional address translation around the 2 sockets. From the circuit diagram, the ROMS have OE has a high enable, and the CE pins are tied to the A15 line - I th...

good point - My programmer allows me to load in binary images at any starting address - so I generally use that method if I am 'merging' roms for a larger target device.

You can download the images from Dilwyn's site : http://www.dilwyn.me.uk/downloads.html He has a page for toolkits and for ROM's On a PC you can extract the zip files and once you have the resulting ROM images you can do the following: copy /b your_ql_rom_image + your_toolkit_image new_rom_image bur...

The Minerva ROM is 48K, but you can download an image that included toolkit II as well, and fits in a 64K Eprom - a 27c512. That should work in either socket in the QL I believe. Otherwise you will need to provide a board and additional logic to decode the bottom 48K space.

Does anyone have any experience of how the API works and how to even get into it? I have a registered copy, and it mentions something about this requiring expanded license, which I assume is what the registered copy is, but can't find much in the way of examples or documentation about how to present...
