Re: Announcing the new "Gold Card" - QIMSI Gold
If I understand well Qimsi Gold is a Q68 to insert into the QL Rom Port and the original QL is used just as power supply, dont you? Wrong! QIMSI Gold already uses the QL keyboard and joystick with the accelerated CPU. As well as gimmicks like QL speaker support. Microdrives are not supported yet, b...

Re: SGC successor brainstorming
Out of curiosity, two questions: . Will it have a high speed rs-232 output (qimsi style "ser4")? (I believe I understood that yes). Yes. And it has higher throughput now, if used directly with Minerva or SMSQ/E on the accellerated CPU. - If it has video, memory, keyboard/mouse... Will it ...

Re: FPGA replacment for the ZX8301 ULA and more
It also needs two wires and a small board over zx8301 socket but it is so much easier to install and no need for 3d printed plate for the ports. One or two wires are not too bad. For QIMSI I also needed one for the QL speaker. I had the luck that one ROM port pin has no dedicated funktion, so the c...

Re: SGC successor brainstorming
Hi folks, it's been a long while since we discussed this, but it was not forgotten... [*]I could completely live without microdrives, with the limited supply of cartridges, there's not much point in them.

Re: Q68 direct sector access
I keep on moaning at Wolfgang that the Q68 Config defaults are not as agreed. His settings are terrible, especially as the WIN8 configuration mechanism won't even work on some cards with the "fast" setting. Also the french keyboard is super weird to get reconfiguration started. And the lo...
