IThere was a Stewart or maybe a Stuart of Sawston nr Cambridge, worked at
Team, Royston (where Johnathen Oakley went).
He built a motherboard for the QL system, FLP included on board.
Whatever came of thet, II've seen no mention of it since ?

QL
I am confident a board with an FPGA solution would be very affordable. If
you factor in the development costs of the FPGA's programming, and writing
drivers for SMSQ/E and/or Minerva, you'd still be looking at a board that
costs less than $250... It would be noticeably faster than a Super Gold
Card
I would prefer a 68xxx based solution as I am a retro hardware fan... But a
FPGA is close enough :-)
What kind of price are we talking here... I know that I would buy anything that
gives me faster speed than a superGoldCard and that is $300 or less.
I have no interest in an emulated solution. I

If someone can make an FPGA happen, I can make PCBs happen, then someone can
make the OS happen, then we have a computer.
Of course, you could always decide that QPCII or Q-emuLator
Hi all,
So here's the state of play in designing new QL replacements...
Peter Graf is bogged down with some issues on his board. It has a decent
spec but it doesn't currently "work" in a meaningful sense. He has various
obstacles (working alone) that mean his design will be delayed or not
