Re: Another small tribute for the 40th Anniversary of the Sinclair QL: Interacting with an AI from a QL.

Very cool project!

Couldn't there be in theory a PI or other small board function in this way where the QL & SMSQ/E are the front end, connected to a more powerful unit doing the work in the background.

Re: CPLD replacement for ZX8301

Am I right to assume that if you were to add more memory and a FPGA there would even more colors be possible ein Mode 4 and 8 and that this would rather be a 'graphics card' instead of a replacement board? Yes, and as an aside (I don't mean to hijack this thread) I started writing something like th...

Would it be too difficult to have 8 colors in mode 4? It needs more memory to do this, maybe using the second screen memory and Minerva second screen option but there is a more serious limitation and that is the memory access speed. It needs an fpga but I won't go there (yet). Am I right to assume ...
