QL Support

Have you heard the latest? A rumor has been circulating in Great Britain for a couple of months now, that Amstrad is rethinking their position on the QL. Amstrad executives have been keeping an eye on how the QL aftermarket support has been developing. Also, it has been common knowledge that Amstrad would like to market a 32-bit machine. Using existing QL technology which they obtained in a major buy-out of Sinclair last year, would save the company thousands of dollars. Having an established support base of software and add-ons is another big plus. Some improvements including the replacement of the microdrives with a single built in disk drive, have been discussed.
