I wasn't talking about what QPC *could* do if it was *changed*. You called
QPC a platform all by itself, and I think it is not. Because IIRC the only
thing that can be run are <=68008 coded SMSQ/E applications.
Why can't you accept the fact, that QPC is just a software emulator,
emulating one single OS? It's not bad! Many people like emulation!

I think because the Q40 format has 64 greyscales, which allows
photorealistic greyscale pictures. The PC format has only 32 greyscales or
you get color errors.
If I had the time and money for a new design I would probably add the PC
mode as well.

I expected that ;-)

Hehe. You have the SMSQ/E sources. You could switch off SLAVEing ;-)

Aren't you the number two in the world's SMSQ/E knowledge? :-)
