Exactly. Thanks for mentioning.

It was hard to decide whether or not to multiplex the QL NET signal with something else, but in the end I thought it is worth a dedicated pin.

HI,

The ERG/68000 board is known to me, I did try and buy one in 1986, but the shipping the VU68K board to the UK was expensive. I like that fact the many that it ran CPM/68K.

This looks now like a QXL, OK you need a PC with ISA bus to run it. But he VU68K can not run a QL operating system.


Regards,

Derek
