Apologies for the slow response, completely missed this. PM if you still want a PCB. I'm also going to pop a few on eBay with the stands printed.

Hi,
I noticed on the German QL Forum, that the Banana Pi has had the Oqtadrive software ported over.
Is there any chance of the Pi Pico W being abled to be used on the Oqtadrive instead of the Pi Zero W, as the Pico seems easier to get a hold of...

I don't think it needed porting to the bananapi or orangepi as the binaries would run on this architecture anyway. The Pico is more of a microcontroller so it would take fair bit more to get going and some extra hardware - some form of sd card adaptor etc.

It's been a while since I last reported about OqtaDrive here. A lot has happened since then. An important change is that OqtaDrive
has moved to a new home. The
latest release is 0.3.4. If you're using OqtaDrive but did not notice the move to CodeBerg, have a look at
the latest feature additions.
Happy hacking,
Alex

Hi,
Could a TZP file be loaded from the Oqtadrive into a Spectrum emulator on a QL?

Didn't know there is such a thing

Can the emulated Spectrum access the Microdrives of the QL? Also, is there any documentation for the TZP format? I haven't been aware of that one.
