It's easier said than done, though. You can't exactly whip the JS ROMs out of a QL and slap in SMSQ. So for those people who want to keep their QLs in service, or are just emotionally attached to them, they don't have the ability to enter the 90s in that way :)
Hmmmn ... is it possible to make a ROM-able SMSQ? and make an adapter to fit it into a standard QL? From memory it would need at least a 256K ROM - add in a couple of meg of RAM at the same time on some kind of processor daughter board and ... Bob's your uncle! ... QL users literally rushing into the 1990s ... the 2000s ... the 2010s ... and beyond! Sounds like a job for Dave Park to me. :) Adrian -----Original Message----- From: ql-users-boun...@lists.q-v-d.com [mailto:ql-users-boun...@lists.q-v-d.com] On Behalf Of Marcel Kilgus Sent: 24 February 2011 17:02 To: ql-us...@q-v-d.com Subject: Re: [Ql-Users] Ranting: A Story of two Operating Systems Dilwyn Jones wrote: > Authors of QL software like me use JM and JS ROMs to test software for > compatibility. Probably the only thing I use them for, though. Yeah, but that's something you didn't have to do if people would at least be willing to enter the 90s, QL wise ;) I had Minerva in all my QLs, and that was over 15 years ago...
