Re: Recreating/preserving Sinclair box packages

Ok, you want it, you get it. Here are a few. They all have the same silver but the scanner software seems to use all scanned colours, so it differs a bit. Nevertheless, I fear, they all will look great after you have changed it. THANKS Ralf! I'll clean up my first two (make them the same size etc) ...

Re: Status of QMON

Very neat :) ... I wonder if the copyright notice should go back in? thanks - uhm, jap, I was wondering about the copyright as well when I formatted it, because I was doing the thing it was put in to avoid. I left it in for completeness with the original and leave it Marcel to change it :D 12.1.2 ....

Re: Hardware detectives for FrankenQL?

I would be VERY interested in the way this was implemented because I don't see how it can reliably refresh the RAM... I would try to untangle the wires and see where they lead, at least a couple go to the underside of the board... though I'm rather hesitant as - knowing me - I would trip up somewhe...
