Re: Sinclair QL Greek rom burn.
As for Minerva - yes, it is compiled only with the UK character set and keyboard driver. The Greek character set / keyboard driver (one file) would have to be loaded from microdrive or disk on boot up. Loading on boot the greek character set and keyboard map is a good solution. Can anyone inform me...

While the things seem to be ok with the eproms programming, when i put the chips into the sockets, the QL crashes at the dots starting screen. I use a Genius G...
