Nope, sorry. Any Paris show anytime ? We thought of one last year. However I recall two years ago you were one of the few visitors. I brought Bruno Coativy some imperial sized dies (thread cutters) to make 1/4 tripod bolt. That was the sum total of the 'QL' trading there. We did not see any

A possible project being investigated is a board that would in essence be a QL replacement, that could fit into the old case (or a much cmaller one), would include extra frills and in essence be a all-in-one machine, is a board based on the aforementioned 68VZ328 Dragonball. There was talk of

OK, I'll go on record to subsidise this at the tume of 100 . Anybody else? Wolfgang You can count on me. However apparently the money would be welcome, but he has no plans to relocate (see Nasta discussion). Arnould ___ QL-Users Mailing List

The USB interface is not a USB 'HOST' but rather a USB endpoint. I.e, a SZ328 system with propper software support becomes a USB device, rather than a host (or, to use simpler terms, a controller). As such, this port will not be able to accept other USB devices directly, although there appears to

SMSQ/E is mostly so easy to use because it has never even heard of the words security concept (does the mail count as OnTopic now? ;-) ) And if I understood well my discussions with TT, this was exactly his target in 1983: no security stuff for a very small personal computer because it is not

It is the first time I use such features, and after 20 years of readings about QDOS, I had the impression that both 'test' jobs would have belonged to 'launcher'. I don't think most people would want it this way. This would mean that you couldn't write startup scripts that EX other jobs as the

What you want is that the EX'd prog be owned by the launcher job, which uis what I definitely wouldn't want. The only solution I can see would be a new keyword. How about EX_M (EXec with Me as owner)? This could be a trivial change that I could build into the next version of SMSQ/E. Would

TK2 copyright will not expire until at least 2010 (I believe that it was made available in 1985) however IIRC TK2 has been released to the public by TT... Of course I may be wrong on the latter. (TT?) IIRC the TK2 version that is on Dylwin's emulators CDROM is OK to use with emulators. I
