# In The Pipeline

Work continues on Miracle System’s GRAPHICS CARD. No release date has been announced.

Qview and TF Services of the UK are working on a replacement for the QL’s coprocessor, the 8049 chip. This chip controls the QL’s keyboard and serial ports. The advantages of using a 8749 or equivalent chip would be increased speed and a stable serial interface. A working model was demonstrated at the International QL Meeting held in Munster, Germany on March 21, 1992.
