Re: What makes the OS for QL any better, different, unique ?
I can see the QL out performing a 4.77MHz 8088, as that's a 8 bit hobbled 16 bit processor too, but not an AT. Having said that, the PC-XT didn't have to drive the screen and interleave memory as I seem to remember that the MGA or MDA card had its own memory and hardware scrolling, so it would seem...

Re: How to uQLx on RPi
I've been running uqlx on a Raspberry Pi 3B for over a year now. The 2017 armv7 release from Dilwyn's site will run on the Pi but there is no compiled armv7 binary of the 2018 release. I've managed to compile and run it on the Pi after installing some libraries (notably the SDL2 development). When r...

Re: 700 Euros for a boxed QL \o/
Same disk drives here with Gold Card. Strange enough, most disks won't format on them in either HD or ED but HD disks formatted as QL disks on a PC are readable and writable on the QL drives. As for QL builds, I have two D15s with Issue 6 board and JS ROMs and two D09s with Issue 5 board and JM ROM ...

Re: An AH QL, need some more information
The AH ROM doesn't have much more bugs than JM, I believe only two. It was the first version known to be reasonably stable after the 'dongle' versions FB and PM.
Nevertheless, if you can re-program the EPROMS then Minerva is the operating system of choice.
