The Sinclair QL Forum

As for Minerva - yes, it is compiled only with the UK character set and keyboard driver. The Greek character set / keyboard driver (one file) would have to be loaded from microdrive or disk on boot up. Loading on boot the greek character set and keyboard map is a good solution. Can anyone inform me...

It is just the black box for now. In the next few days, it will arrive a fdd controller card!

Is there a greek rom for the Sinclair QL? Yes there is! It's the 1Σ13 version(1Sigma13) and i want my QL to run with it! But i have no luck. While the things seem to be ok with the eproms programming, when i put the chips into the sockets, the QL crashes at the dots starting screen. I use a Genius G...
