He had a very sharp mind, even wrote the first draft of the 68020 emulation core for QPC in PC assembler. Also enjoyed meeting him on our trips to England. My last contact was probably over 10 years ago, but every few years he came to my mind and I wondered how he was, considering that he seemed to be a bit older even back then. Do you mind sharing his age? I hope his last years were good ones.

I hope one day I can partake a bit more again. ___ QL-Users Mailing List

Re: [Ql-Users] George Gwilt
Sad news! My deepest sympathy. He was a smart and bright person. His contribution to the QL world is invaluable. A great loss. I last met George almost 10 years ago at the QL is 30 show which took place in Edinburgh in October 2014. Speaking of that show, there are some videos and reports out there: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WF7ahxJ3f-k http://www.gwicks.net/indepth/QLis30workshop.pdf Had some personal email conversations afterwards (re. TURBO, NET_PEEK, 68008 addressing modes, etc.) which stopped about 5 years ago. From the record George stopped posting in ql-users in 2018. Whenever I've met some joint QL friends we've always wondered "How's George doing?" RIP, George. ___ QL-Users Mailing List
Re: [Ql-Users] George Gwilt
I never met George, but he was an inspiration with my "struggles" to modify the SMSQ sources on the 68060 processor of my Q60 and recompile them. Rest in peace.

I'm gutted to hear of George's passing away. I had a lot of dealings with George when I was writing Assembler articles for QL Today, there wasn't ever an article that George didn't have a comment on, but mostly he had ideas to improve things. For which I was grateful. My deepest sympathies to his family. He will be missed. Regards, Norman. -- Author of "Arduino Software Internals" and "Arduino Interrupts". ___ QL-Users Mailing List
