Re: Micro P disk interface - ROM is missing

Reading the Aurora manual the evening before putting the components together, it said that Gold Card's with yellow...

Re: Special Lightning ROM 2.11

Lightning does work with the Gold Card / Super Gold Card - but basically they released Lightning SE which did away with the ROM, as running the routines in the Gold Card / Super Gold Card's own memory was so much faster than running it from ROM.

Re: Pointer Environments

It depends what you mean by window manager - there is only WMAN (which works alongside PTR_GEN) to form the pointer environment and I would recommend v2.01 (for JM ROM), v2.03 for JS/Minerva etc If you mean desktops, there are: QDT (Commercial) Launchpad (Commercial) Qascade (public domain) Others.....

Re: Keyboard interface

You can use a PS/2 to AT adaptor and then use a PS/2 Keyboard which are more common nowadays. As for cost - SuperHermes retails at £110 plus postage, but then the SuperHermes does include the following: •Hi-speed 2-way RS232 (9 pin DIN lead supplied) at up to 115,200 baud on a Super Gold Card equ...
