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).
