Hello.
I would be interested in buying the SGC and the Qubide. How much would it be ?

Exactly. That is IMHO one of the reasons why a Windows PC is not a QL system.
On a QL/Q40 I don't have to fight with Windows problems to keep my QL/Q40
from crashing.

No, QPC can stay the same for this task.

But graphics drivers with QPC are - and that's what was being
discussed. QPC presumes (and rightly so) that you have a running

I'd ask 150£ plus p&p for a 4 Mb QXL with full blown 68040 (33 MHz with
FPU). Three oscillators included (20/25/33). At the higher frequencies it is
advisabile to mount a cooler on the cpu.
Please note that 4 Mb are not enough if you'd like to use the 65536 colours
mode which are available on SMS

I wasn't talking about what QPC *could* do if it was *changed*. You called
QPC a platform all by itself, and I thin
I was interested but... no time to make it operational. Maybe an other
time???

QDOS had to be adapted to run on the Q40, the same as SMSQ/E was. I
could adapt QDOS classic to run on QPC. Instead of writing to some
hardware ports for opening a serial port, one does a "dc.w qpc.sopen".
Not a big differenc

I'll be at the show. Although I'll travel incognito in case anybody
