No idea whether there are any hardware limitations with plain GC. > In terms of platform, the (Super) Gold Card is common to the QL and > Aurora, which blurs the lines a little.

Not only copies, the sources for the Aurora driver are freely available now. > Do you consider the QPC2 SMSQ/E to be a separate version in its own > right, or in terms of code is it a standard 680x0 implementation > interpreted by the 68K emulation? Not sure what you exactly mean here. But QPC2's SMSQ/E is definitely a separate version in its own, as most device drivers are QPC specific. > Speaking purely in terms of how many different SMSQ/E's you may need > ot consider for your various systems (leaving aside the original > discussion about platforms), am I correct in summarising as follows: All in all that looks correct. Though there were some other more minor versions, the ByteBox for example. But only a handful of people have probably ever seen that one. > SMSQ/E for Q40/Q60 (same or different versions for both machines?) Same.
