Minerva DOES work on the Q68, demonstrated in Edinburgh. Just yesterday I tried Minerva again with my latest FPGA. But there is a gap between private tinkering and making a public release. The biggest issue here is that we have no QLWA driver independent from SMSQ/E, and I find the QL-SD driver (which I therefore use with Minerva) not very stable on the Q68. > Perhaps you can keep the work you have done so far, in case anyone does > later step in to complete the work.
