I believe the QL can already be emulated on the Raspberry Pi by way

but I'm not sure that was ever achieved. However Trump card + memory
and Sandy SuperDisk emulation was implemented.
Did that include disk access to get files in and out of MESS? That was
a problem with the early versions I looked at - the emulation ran
pretty OK but at the time there was no disk access.
Yet another way to get QL on the R-pi! It would be useful to have a
folder with details of all known working or proposed emulations for
QL on the R-pi. I've been pointed by an Oracle chap to a lot of info
on Java and the R-pi, which should fit in with Wolfgang's work. And
we have the uqxl route. There seem to be a lot of folk trying in
their own way, not surprising with the huge numbers of R-pi getting
into circulation. How about it Dilwyn? I'll provide what I can.

Remember I have no knowledge of neither Java nor Raspberry Pi, Bryan!
I don't mind hosting suitable stuff but would need someone with the
knowledge and time to keep it going.
Once the emulators are stable enough for public release I'd happily
see what we can do. (Emulator authors: keep me informed!)

I appreciate your position, Dilwyn. However I feel that somewhere we
could do with a Raspberrypi section to collate all activities attempting
to get an emulation going. I guess effort will be into getting old
games going which is what NESS is about, but that isn't my interest at
all so I wouldn't pick up on it. Perhaps it should be on the R-pi site,
but someone needs to put it there.
