Surely Minerva (together with Hermes and new keyboard membrane), is a MUST HAVE upgrade for EVERY plain QL (maybe switcheable to MG ROM for better compatibility with old games not running on Minerva). Moreover, Minerva, Hermes and keyboard membrane are reproduceable and easily obtaineable. Not the Gold/SuperGold Card, which is needed for SMSQ/E. In the beginning, I was happy to see Pointer Environment running on a plain 68008 QL with Minerva. _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
