Re: Q68 I2C Driver

Thank you Martin! I looked onto this a few years ago, but the task was too difficult for me. Does it runs only from normal memory or do you need to use some of the Q68 fast memory ?

Re: Target for major new QL hardware

Re: SMSQ 3.38 for Aurora does not work ?

Re: Previously unreleased game

Does this game run at the intended speed on a fast system or do we need to SLUG the computer ?

Re: CAPSLED

Would this project also work with Hermes instead of the IPC 8049 ?
