To finalise all the graphics, I need a 'pantone' routine to select QPC2 COLOUR_NATIVE hues. Has anyone done such a routine ?

HI, I think this was to allow the Gold Card, which only supports 2 Floppy Disk Drives, to have an extras 2 Floppy Disks. If you look at the Super Gold Card, the same sort of interface is present on the Floppy Drive connectors. The Trump Card can access 4 Floppy Disk Drives. At the time some new dri...

... So it looks like if we want to use 68020 assembley language, this not recommended. The Assembley Language Mag, used GWASL, whivh is a 68000 assembler, but QPC2 v5 can emulate 68020 CPU, so GWASS can be used. I use GWASS on the Q60, which assembles 68060 assembley op codes, in SMSQ/E. The GWASS ...
