"Token Ring" - That sounds "dinosaur" and "exclusive" at the same time - I would like to rip that one apart to see how it worked.

Are any hardware details available for it? Info on the Di-Ren stuff is scant at best...

Hi, kindly please, is somewhere described how are various things connected through this ROM Port? I know its usually only expected for ROM reading but which are ways to communicate with hardware through this in QL?

You can dedicate 256 addresses in the ROM area for “writing”.
Reading any of this addresses writes the corresponding value (0 to 255) to the register of device connected to the ROM port.
