# The ZM Spectrum Emulation Package

A little more than a year ago, the Italian software house, Ergon Development started writing a program to emulate the Sinclair Spectrum 48K on the QL. The first version of the emulator was launched at the International QL meeting in Muenster – Germany, in March ’92. Other versions followed, with the very latest in January 1993. The Ergon family of Spectrum emulators is now quite stable but has had a huge number of changes & improvements, like most children in real families.
