Commodore 64

[Mr_Navigator]

Not only is this available running Linux, so possibly running the QL emulator software such as uQLx which would be cool in its own right (a bit pricy at $349 for the base machine)



but the website http://www.commodoreusa.net/CUSA_VicSlim.aspx also sports another keyboard called the Commodore VIC Slim, sorry did I say keyboard, I meant computer, recognise the design style? It's black, it's a computer, it's an all in one keyboard sized box that can run QDOS and SuperBASIC (emulated of course).

A little dearer at $399 but cheaper than the original QL at £399

Has anyone successfully installed the QDOS emulator on a Linux based computer?

Well, there's definitely uQLX that comes to mind first - I have it running without any problems on a Lenovo NetBook that runs Ubuntu.
And there's QPC2 - This runs under Wine on Ubuntu Linux as well, although it has problems with the keyboard map on 2 of my three computers. (But that's more likely a Wine problem than QPC2's, judging by the Wine bug-track entries related to that subject)
QPC has the added benefit that it can scale the QL display - uQLX looks a bit smallish on modern high-res displays.
