Memories.
In the early '80 my employer wanted to sack me on the grounds that they
didn't have work for me.
I then used a program Formcalc typed in on my ZX81 from
The 30th anniversary of the launch of the ZX81, along with the BBC 4 programme
Electric Dreams has had me pondering... which prompted me to write a blog item.

Hi all,
So here's the state of play in designing new QL replacements...
Peter Graf is bogged down with some issues on his board. It has a decent
spec but it doesn't currently work in a meaningful sense. He has various
obstacles (working alone) that mean his design will be delayed or not
Well it wasn't as bad as I had feared, but not as simple as I had hoped. And
I'm certainly not going to mention the still unsolved mystery of the
mm.alchp vectored call that reported success but actually zeroed out an
entirely different area of the common heap, thus trashing the in-memory copy

btw If anyone out there (like, for example, Dave Park) would like to build
an SPI interface for the QL that would significantly increase performance!
I can do the hardware if someone else can do the driver. :)

Yes please. I'll do the driver. :)
How about a board that plugs into the ROM port and has the necessary logic
to implement the four wire SPI interface for a single slave device (namely
the USBWiz). The board would also have a header socket to mount the USBWiz
module on.
Job done.
With a USB/multi-card reader, it should be possible to create a QDOS
file system on a Compact Flash card. I've scrounged about 13 512MB CF
cards that are no longer needed at work. I can send them to someone in
the UK if someone can use them.
I also have two unopened boxes of TDK ED disks

Dave,
That's all very nice and would be an absolutely fantastic piece of hardware
but it's very complex and likely to be expensive. I would have thought
that a better use of the development cost and time would be an FPGA-based QL
clone running at 80MHZ with 1GB RAM and onboard USB3, SATA and
I am just wondering how big or small this project would be, not in terms of
time and mountains to climb, but physically. I would like to see it fit inside
something like a QL, Amiga, Atari or even laptop style case just for the hell
of it. There is a difference between a system you can shove
I was thinking standard Eurocard sized - 160x100mm - the same size as a normal
expansion card.
It could me as small as 75 x 75mm depending.
