Any problem with QPC2? It is a quantum leap ahead of the competition in that
it runs SMSQ/E. It is currently supported by probably the only ace
programmer active on the QL scene (sorry Marcel ;) It is stable and fast
(efficient), and can access most essential devices of a modern computer,
such as hard disks, CD ROMS, large screens (in 65k colours), printers,
modems, etc. A very proficient and comfortable performer indeed - and for
what it is and does - cheap! The only thing it isnt is a hardware QL.
