For not that much more than the prices above you could buy a Q40i or Q60 from D&D Systems. There is also the long lasting proposal for Nasta's GoldFire (can't remember if that was the chip name [Coldfire?]) or if it had some other name - how much would that cost to finalise and market? Neil might not be aware of this, I don't think it's been discussed since he joined the list. There might be out there somewhere a 680xx card which could be developed too, you never know, the savings in hardware development might pay for someone to port QDOS or SMSQ/E to it - fancy a new challenge Marcel? ;-))) -- Dilwyn Jones _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
