Re: Announcing the new "Gold Card" - QIMSI Gold
An simple internal DIN41612 to ROMport connector board might be useful :idea: You may have noticed 2 x 2 extra pins in addition to the QL ROM port (the smaller ones near to the edge). One of them is leading QLNET and one is a "detection" pin. The other two could be used with such a connec...

Re: Announcing the new "Gold Card" - QIMSI Gold
If I understand well Qimsi Gold is a Q68 to insert into the QL Rom Port and the original QL is used just as power supply, dont you? Wrong! QIMSI Gold already uses the QL matrix keyboard and joystick with the accelerated CPU. As well as gimmicks like the QL speaker. Microdrives are not supported yet...

Re: SGC successor brainstorming
Out of curiosity, two questions: . Will it have a high speed rs-232 output (qimsi style "ser4")? (I believe I understood that yes). Yes. And it has higher throughput now, if used directly with Minerva or SMSQ/E on the accellerated CPU. - If it has video, memory, keyboard/mouse... Will it ...

Re: FPGA replacment for the ZX8301 ULA and more
It also needs two wires and a small board over zx8301 socket but it is so much easier to install and no need for 3d printed plate for the ports. One or two wires are not too bad. For QIMSI I also needed one for the QL speaker. I had the luck that one ROM port pin has no dedicated funktion, so the c...
