PS. Norman, it must have been BBC BASIC where you began?

the ZX-81 arrived.
Cheers,
Norman.

Dilwyn,
I don't have the original microdrive cartridges to hand _ i'm not sure
if I still have them, however, I do have one of my old backup floppies.
Unfortunately I can't read it with QPC under Linux - I still haven't
finished writing my filesystem driver for QDOS floppies!
However, I'll take

Evening Phoebus,
The proper solution for uQLx is for the graphics parts to be abstracted
and maybe use SDL or something along the same lines, something that will
