The only problem is the lack of external I2C connector when the Q68 board is fitted into a case.
The real only problem is that no driver exist yet for the Q68. Unless I missed them.
I think Derek just refers to the fact that we actually use Tony's Interfaces with our own programs und they interoperate with the Q68.
Please forgive that I don't publicly release this "home-use" software as it is. A public release causes extra work for cleaning up code, adding comments, and answering questions. I would like to offer it, but there is so much other work, and I don't know when.
The bitbanging I²C interface of the Q68 is primitive (and so similar to Minerva) that I hope someone else but me can adapt the Minerva driver. Ideally, not depending on Minerva as operating system and also useable under SMSQ/E.
For simple applications, it's also possible to go without driver, like myself. That requires just general I²C knowledge and a look into the Q68 manual for the (very simple) register definitions.
