New Spanish Text Adventure - Assault and Punishment

It is currently in Spanish, so does anyone fancy translating it into English - it is written in SuperBASIC, so should be fairly easy to do. The game can be downloaded f...

Re: TRACE and Minerva
Having looked into this, it looks as though SuperTrace was placed into the public domain - at least it appears in the Quanta library and on the Sinclair QL Homepage - http://www.dilwyn.me.uk/program/strace.zip Does anyone fancy looking into this and figuring out the problem as to why it does not wor...

Re: Faster/wider CPU...
Peter Graf is a good designer, and is working on a couple of projects, including a QL-SD interface (which sits in place of one of the QL microdrives, and connects to the QL using a small board which sits underneath one of the ROM chips). His design for the QL running on an FGPA is also complete and ...
