Use Minerva ? yes indeed !
I use a JM QL, because it was my first one, that I bought in 1984 (with aQWERTY keyboard, because it was not even officially imported in France - with an AZERTY keyboard). I soon added a Sandy SuperQboard which added 512K ram, interfaces for parallel printer and floppy and TK2 - and had it modified after for a mouse). Then, when QL prices were dropping, I bought a second one (for spares - but they still both work OK) with a JS rom (but still a QWERTY keyboard). For this one, I recently bought a Tetroid CF interface. But I intend now to replace the SuperQboard with another Tetroid CF interface, this time including Minerva ; so it will solve the issues of the JM QL (that almost never occured to me), and besides let me program for two screens ?
Me too prefer my own boot files, but sometimes look at code from others. But I detest "spaggetti programs" and the QL SuperBasic should help to avoid them. For me, procedures with more than 20 lines and with obscure names are un-readable.
May the FORTH be with you !
