The Sinclair QL Forum

Interesting, I didn't know about res_128. I wonder if this will allow ICE to work since I know it works on the bare QL board. Thanks to my illness I've not been able to do half the things I wanted to this week so I'll see if I can try that today.

See you on Saturday

Oh wow, I was going to do exactly that! I didn't think that anyone else might've done it already so didn't ask.
