RWAP - Hermes

I recently bought a Hermes chip for my QL on sellmyretro. As expected, communications from Rich were great, cost was very reasonable, delivery was in safe and secure packaging, and of course the chip itself works as expected. Printed manual + extra software on floppy are bonuses too. Very happy camp...

From Rich at RWAP (via sellmyretro.com):

Mug (or indeed the coffee) not included ;)

I'm looking to install it over the weekend. My QL is rather prone to key bounce, so hopefully this solves it.

I missed that - thanks!

Re: Magnetic Scrolls Interpreter - Christmas Edition

Any chance you could add the release zips to the github Releases section of the repo's pages? Saves lazy people like me having to trawl through forum posts to find the latest ;)

And... fabulous work. Thank you.

Re: Today I Received...

Yeah it's pretty decent. I was not sure whether it was a known article here or not? If anyone wants me to scan it for archival/preservation, let me know.

Re: Today I Received...

I'm not sure whether anyone has seen these before? I've just got myself a copy of a French magazine which has a good article on the Mac and QL at launch, in the context of whether they can unseat IBM's PC (article is a very decent 8 1/2 pages)

Re: Today I Received...

Nice one, Norm. I've not read your Arduino book, but if your QL assembly book is anything to go by, I'm not surprised that your work is being cited.
