Guys, The Internet is rather wonderful, It's allowed me to track down that LP from the 70's, it's allowed me to re-discover the QL, I've even got the bits to make a proper Arcade machine. Even my father, who knows practically nothing about computers, earns part of his income via the Web ( or ebay to be precise ).
The other day, I enquired and was kindly given the full version of ZM/hT by Davide Santachiara and whilst I haven't a clue as to some of the menu options and what they do, I've seen enough to realise what a professional piece of software it is, and with a few additional features would be brilliant ( "peg to 100% spectrum speed" for one ! ) A comment Davide made to me has suddenly hit home. Basically he was pleased that someone was still having fun with his product after some 10 years or more.... but wait a minute, the spectrum scene is still strong so why on earth isn't ZM/ht etc still commercially available and being advertised on Auction sites like Ebay. I'm certain it would sell and consequently would spur others to develop for the QL which would boister the QL community. The recent topic re " the next QL development" may well become a reality. btw, as a side question. I have plenty of _Z80 images that ZM/hT expects but i have even more .SNA's. Is anyone aware of a .SNA to _Z80 convertors. Just for fun i renamed .sna to Z80_rom and whilst ZM/ht saw the Z80 and even showed initial splash screens, it crashes. Also, is anyone in possession of the ZM/hT manual. Id like to know what all the options actually do. :-) Cheers Neil *********************************************************************************** The contents of this email are confidential to the intended recipient.
