Ian, best wishes for getting well soon also from me.
If re-implementing SMSQ/E on ARM one would probably try to use the least possible ARM assembler portion possible - Maybe a re-write should rather use the QDOS /concepts/ instead of trying to 100% copy it. (ARM assembler isn’t even half as much fun as 68k assembler…). I could imagine a re-implementation in C with small assembler routines where inevitable. It should, however, include a 68k emulator to be able to execute native programs if desired. (Concept similar to ppc Macs). Stuff like that isn’t, however, a week-end job….
