Re: Another Minerva Manual
You didn't. It was our "played a lawyer on TV once" advice to provide Minerva only to existing QL owners. Much like running MacOS on non Apple hardware. I don't believe I actually checked the ROM image that got supplied. Ooops did I say that out loud ? After a while, we dropped that requi...

Re: 32 bit random numbers
