Cesar nos informa de la aparición de una nueva versión de este gran emulador donde destaca, muy especialmente, el soporte de Sinclair QL convirtiéndose, en cierto modo, en un emulador referencia de las máquinas de Sir Clive Sinclair (recordad que ya emulaba muchos modelos de Spectrum, el z88, zx81 y ahora el QL). Destacar que emuladores de QL funcionales y gratuitos no es algo habitual de ver y gracias al trabajo de César, por fin, ya es posible.
Podéis descargar el emulador, para varios sistemas operativos diferentes, en la web del enlace.

Vaya!! El Ql fue la máquina que nos quitó el sueño a más de uno, sus teclas, su aspecto… el susurro de sus microdrives… sus 80 columnas de texto fósforo verde…su aspecto profesional… todo en él rezumaba magia.
Probaré el nuevo emulador a ver que tal.
Muy buen emulador.
