The recent questionnair should be able to answer the question: What
percentage of QLers use both Qdos AND hard disks [HDD] (a small
percentage I
would think) Minerva and emulator users can upgrade the OS. Hardware Qdos
users with HDD would have to migrate to new hardware - or stagnate.
How do you work this out - Minerva is unlikely to be updated to take
account of the new device format, any more than QDOS. Most emulators
still rely on either Minerva or QDOS 48K ROMs and I sure there would
not be room to implement the new code in the actual ROM.
Hey but Minerva is now open source and free. Wasn't the argument about
the licence all about the hundreds of programmers that would come
crawling out of the woodwork to work on a free open source system and
make it all powerful,
