Cool - I really had no chance to expect that you're a professional
electronics manufacturer :)
Well, I'm not that kind of "professional" you're thinking of. I work at
home and make small runs of electronic devices for small companies which
doesn't fulfill the numbers needed for a run on "pr

Tons of patience, when I did it :(

Building QL-SD at home would be very hard, because of 0.5 mm pitch SMD
components and a thin two layer PCB with 0.15 mm tracks. It took more than
a year until someone came up, who has the skills and equipment to do it.
I don't think so. I have resources to build a board like that here at

In the German forums, I meant. How many others like you will turn up, I
have no idea.

It took a quite an amount of email and phone support, even providing
complete working samples, until someone (very skilled at building
hardware) successfully reproduced the QL-SD. QL-SD has a much higher
difficulty level than the other projects you find at the forums. Nobody

Soldering fine pitch SMD devices isn't that hard, if you have the right
equipment, or tons of patience. I've done lots of these jobs without the
right tools, and it worked. Took longer than reasonable, but

Morning Peter, All!
Basically, you can have Minerva in the first 48 KB and TK2 in the
following 16 KB. Resulting in a 64 KB binary stored in EPROM. However, the
Minerva binary has to be "padded" up to exact 48 KB length, so TK2 is
properly aligned. Please note that you need a ROM version for
