On my BBQL with Gold card (Minerva OS), it does pan top 5 lines left (50 pixel cursor line) by 10 pixels.

For the programmer you need no license file. Thanks, I'll register to gain access to file (though why they need personal phone/address is questionable). Thanks for patience in providing helpful pointers/info, it is difficult to know what is relevant/required when you're on the blind side of the sub...

That work wasn't exactly "free". Apple apparently paid with an option into 100 000 of their own shares (roughly 1M$ at that time, roughly 16M$ after emission, roughly 10 Billions today) as an entry fee to PARC. Whether the visit and the investment were connected, is disputable, however. I...

Thanks, I had hoped it would work as they are readily/cheaply available. I have a PLCC44 breakout board to I can get at appropriate pins ...

Firstly, the license cost issue affects "ispLever Classic", not "ispLever", which I continue to use for free. Secondly, neither "ispLever" nor "ispLever Classic" are needed or even used for the Qx0 PLDs. I did start looking for pDS Starter but constantly got ...

So after much web searching the last few days it seems if you haven't already got ispLEVER* installed (and can fool free license on an existing installation by rewinding system time) your'e stuck. That is unless you are now prepared to pay for $600 license, the free 12 month license ended around 202...
