It works perfectly.
I am now taking this prototype and turning it into PCB form.

Hi Dave,
Is it an Mplane that was used in the AT cased version of a QL?

At the London QL Group we are repairing an AT QL system for a QL User.

Could you educate us a little on how the 8049 (which is a standard Intel

Does it run the same program the 8049 runs but better, or a different
program provided by the *Hermes?

Recently I happened to see a reference to the Super Gold Card having an
