Speaking of retro computers,
I have gotten rid of a few items recently but i still have a nice

hook that fixes it firmly in place ), a beautiful Original Atari 800
which I'm on the verse of selling even though I don't want to, plus
I am wondering from some time ago, if it is possible to consider an USB
port implementation on a new QL hardware. This, it will be a real leap for
the QL community as it opens the door for a planty of low cost and
efficient peripherals and gets down the need for developping others
extensions. I

At this stage, it is difficult to answer Yes or No if i am going to write
drivers. We have to evaluate on each area the necessary effort, competence
and time needed. I have some experiences on developping software for QL and
Motorola assembler coding (much more on Unix and windows platforms) but
Yes, I could put the program on my site if required.

This came up in discussion some time ago.
As you say, Alain, the need for drivers would be the deciding factor.
IIRC it's not the USB port driver as such, but the individual drivers
for any particular device connected to it as well.
Even on the PC scene, available harder becomes obsolescent in

Hi Per
I think you miss the point sometimes.

The QL was never only about hardware for quite a number of enthusiasts,
and therefore it is still going strong in its emulated form. If you want
the best QL platform money can buy, get QPC2 and stick it in your PC.
