Re: SGC successor brainstorming

from my recent journey back to the QL here is my assessment: emulators are low threshold to entry but miss the essence of the original system QLs are still relatively easy to get, but you don't know what you're getting (JS, JM, etc) the video situation is not really ideal, but it's not as big a prob...

Re: USB Floppy Disk Device (Drive) with Support for Windows 10 and QPC2?

Re: USB Floppy Disk Device (Drive) with Support for Windows 10 and QPC2?

Hello there (again) from Germany

What happened? This is all a mistake, it should be 2018 by now?! It started harmlessly enough for me with the Spectrum Next Kickstarter (still eager anticipation) that I was thinking back to my youthful sins I hadn't thought about in decades.
