I get very very little feedback from users though on the hardware >front. I think you are the only one! There is also the problem of being able to actually do this for such a small market. Development, costs making the boards and of buying the components all make it very prohibitive to make QL hardware. The computer industry moves too fast for the individual, kitchen table, developer to even keep up with how chips are evolving and changing. Tony's experience with superHermes chips and mine, some years ago, with Super Gold Card chips are a case in point. I do often suggest new ideas and I realise that, without this hardware input, we are being left behind and forced to use emulators. -- Roy Wood Q Branch. 20 Locks Hill, Portslade, Sussex.BN41 2LB Tel: +44 (0) 1273 386030 fax: +44 (0) 1273 430501 skype : royqbranch web : www.qbranch.demon.co.uk
