With both, some actions cause instant lock-ups, like using microdrives, or trying to use F3/F4 on Minerva, or trying to ALCHP a large amount of memory, etc. Minerva does a lot better than the JS ROM. My tests are normally done on the JS ROM though. I would be more concerned about what the Thor was worth if it could produce clear video output, I had paid more than $50 for it, and I had any intention of selling it ;) Mostly, it's a fabulous object lesson in taking a QL to the logical conclusion using the components of the day. I just want to get it fully operational :) Dave _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
