Re: Still possible to get Minerva ROM

I've been the main maintainer of the PE after Tony left, nudging it into the exciting world of 65536 colours, alpha blending and windows that still refresh in the background And I've read your name sooooo often in the source codeQJumpJon wrote:Can't promise I can remember much about it!

Still going strong, yes. He even resuscitated his mailbox QL recently for me to look for the Hermes source codes, but alas no luck. They seem to be confined to Lau's vault.QJumpJon wrote:Well, I originally drew it, but then TF took Minerva over so technically I guess it's Tony's shout these days. Is he still about?

Same guy, soooo... maybe? As long as the vault remains closed it could contain the original bible scrolls for all it matters, we still don't get themPr0f wrote:Would that be for SuperHermes as well ?mk79 wrote:Still going strong, yes.

Re: Still possible to get Minerva ROM
Only if you separate the outgoing pins from the Eprom pins like Chr$ did here https://www.ebay.de/itm/203613323341... and that only works if you have enough space, for QL-SD for example it wasn't an option.QJumpJon wrote:Really?

Re: Still possible to get Minerva ROM
you can use those right angle pin headers on the underside, and surface solder the socket on the top of the board or displace it
