[Ql-Users] A seat in the lifeboat?

Hi, since the turn of the century, I invested a lot of time into some QL hardware and software projects. Except the Q60 Graphics Card, all of them actually worked, and have been shown to a few friends. I didn't have the motivation to finish them. For a long time, the reason was that I saw the

Hi Peter, All of them, probably! My first choice would probably be QLwIP and applications, to give the QL a chance to get on the internet. Second choice: I would really like the QLSD project to see the light of day. Dilwyn Jones Which project deserves a seat in the lifeboat? Which one

I will choose preferably, what noone else is able to finish. SD card interafce can be created by someone else. But complete new QL machine cannot be finished by everyone. Then, I choose Q68 as no. 1 and QLwIP as no. 2. ___ QL-Users Mailing List
