Hi Peter - maybe you can ask him for some details for the QL Wiki - we
don't really have anything abou the Falkenberg products.
I must say I was mainly impressed with his hardware ideas but the
quality of the pcbs and build was really awful in all the many examples
I saw of his keyboard interface. ... and what a lot of 8049/8749s in
the design. superHermes did vastly more in a considerably smaller
package and a lot less current consumption.
I didn't see his his hard disk interface. Phil Borman told me he had
used the Rebel code. Was that right? Qubide also used this under
license. Phii was not aware of any license for his build.
Flakenberg's reaction when I politely pointed out at Bielefeld, I think,
that he was selling a pirated Minerva was unbelievable. At no time, I
hope, did I suggest he knew it was pirated, but he pestered me on the
phone for a long time, often at 2am or so.
Tony
