Nothing is happening with Stella. First this document was not intended for publication. Thierry Godefroy insisted to do it. Then in fact Stella is a concept for a range of operating systems. Tony kept telling me that it would be more efficient to develop hardware first and then dedicated OSes

Hi Doug. I would. I have the SGC you gave me before, but it had an ever worsening memory glitch and became unusable over that year. It would have been really useful if it worked a few times, with trying to make my expansion compatible with it but not having a working one. Are you leaving the QL
