Yes, some of the code needs the right timing to be compatible with QDOS. The FORMAT command is probabl...

I used the QL + Tetroid's GoldCard and QEmulator set to QL speed and then to GoldCard speed Gold Card speed in Q-emuLator is approximate and was based on a couple of known benchmark results. I should still have a benchmark I wrote years ago to collect cycle-accurate instru...

What is the price?
