If you are fortunate enough to have an old flat screen monitor with a 1024x768 resolution and 4:3 aspect ratio you are OK I bought mine brandnew. [...] or to the Q68 which is nice but very slow at higher resolutions, [...] The Qzero allows over 100% speed increase in highres/highcolor, due to the s...

Any hint what you mean? I don't speak french and automatic translation also didn't make me much wiser.

While I dont claim to understand all the ins and out of the matter (Im sure there are plenty here who can disabuse me), to me the Buffee sounds like the more interesting prospect as its aim is to be a CPU emulator, untied to any specific platform like Amiga or ST. The apporach sounds nice, but I ha...

I should finish my Amiga 600 PiStorm project. Lost interest when I couldn't find an affordable pi zero 2w during the pandemic. I should get one now and finish the project this summer. Please keep us updated. In case you get QDOS Classic to work on EMU68 with a decent amout of QL side software, we k...

This is my Q60 with your updated VGA chip same monitor : Of the two I prefer the OSSC. Of course - the modified Q60 video chip is not suitable for widescreens at all.

Thierry's settings appear to give full Q60 display http://qdos.free.fr/monitors.html (see http://qdos.free.fr/files/OSSC.txt) Many thanks for the link. Curious if someone gets it to work on an up-to-date OSSC. Also to the "Raven" info. Funny, he uses ISA bus and old-fashioned SIMM sockets...

I think that always depends on who the person is and what their motivation is. There is some insane stuff out there on retro platforms :-/ Sure. For the QL I just don't see the person nor the motivation yet. Not even a simple step was taken within three years... If the EMU68 bare metal variant of P...
