Hi all,
So here's the state of play in designing new QL replacements...
Peter Graf is bogged down with some issues on his board. It has a decent
spec but it doesn't currently work in a meaningful sense. He has various
obstacles (working alone) that mean his design will be delayed or not
Here's an interesting little challenge - according to The Designer
program from Pyramide, there is a bug in the French MG ROM which it
patches -
see http://www.qlforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=2t=116
Anyone have any suggestions as to what this patch does?

On the new QL hardware front, it would probably be easiest to build a
system which boots directly into an emulator of some kind, probably
under a stripped down Linux kernel.
With this in mind, what about looking as this hardware platform?:

It's small (could

Dave,
That's all very nice and would be an absolutely fantastic piece of hardware
but it's very complex and likely to be expensive. I would have thought
that a better use of the development cost and time would be an FPGA-based QL
Tobias,
I agree 100% with everything you say. And ... by the way ... USBWiz can
talk SPI, which is where I'm coming from with all of this. With a faster
throughput it suddenly becomes more possible to use the other USBWiz
functions, such as keyboard and mouse and maybe ... just maybe ... a USB

All in all, I do think there's worse parts in the QDOS file system than
its directory handling - like the length restrictions for path names (32
