Jan,
with an FB-machine, you would probably have had much harder 30+ QL-years than 
you actually had ;)

I once got my hands on an FB machine somewhere in autumn 1984. A local
computer store had imported it from the UK (probably not officially). It
didn't take long before the 'bad or changed medium' message popped up on
loading Quill. So I decided to wait a little longer before buying a QL.
Of course, with today's hindsight (and money!) I would have bought it...

I did have an FB dongle around here once upon a time, but I haven't seen it
in five years.

as far as I remember, the code letters for the various QL ROMs have been named

There may bo other "uses", but the letters in JM and JS etc are the initials of
