All,
when listening to all this (admittedly interesting) talks about possible
revival of "quasi-native" QL hardware, the following questions should be
answered:
"What is native QL hardware"
"what did it make special 25 years ago"
"what of this would we still want/need today"

Hi,
QLC2 ... wouldn't be a bad name, for a new QL based computer/device.
That's a bit of a QLOAC & Dagger statement :-)

To clarify what I mean I'll call it "QL On A Chip or two".

This board uses less than 20 Watts when idle (still less than 40 Watts

Wireless computer keyboards range from £9.99 to £99.9 some even with built in

Actually, the cheapest solution would be to buy something like this

Can it be revived? I know very little about hardware, but I sense
there is a new interest in native hardware and some projects that
people thought would never come now seem feasible. It is for you
hardware specialists to determine w

I saw a manual for the Coldfire instructions and these can be assembled by
GWASS.
