Here there is a recent interview with I've explained all the process.

It will be traduced soon in English too.

If some one want to collaborate with our program is welcome.

Best regards to all.

I know, but there are specialist forums for both the ZX Spectrum and the QL :)

I also need to clarify a minor error in the article - I do not own the distribution rights to all of the QL software which is still subject to copyright - only about 20% at best guess. I have tried to track down and contact copyright holders, with some success (as a result of which some programs have been re-released either as freeware or as part of the QL Games packs).

However, there are just too many people to find and try to get a response from - I don't have the time or energy for this.

Absolutely correct Rich.

And we are at 1/4 of the work and when we will finish we will see together what can be linked and what not.

I will also try to start a ZX81 preservation project because I see there is a lot of MIA that need to be preserved and dumped correctly too.

Here there is the new site:

and the list:
