-Beginning of May 2021 support for the //QL// was complete and the adapter could automatically detect //Spectrum// and //QL//, as desired. After many refactorings the code base was also cleaned up enough to warrant publishing on [[https://github.com/xelalexv/oqtadrive|GitHub]]. From the start it was important to me to make this project available under a free license, so anyone interested in this could built it.+Beginning of May 2021 support for the //QL// was complete and the adapter could automatically detect //Spectrum// and //QL//, as desired.

 By open sourcing, //OqtaDrive// could also win the first contributors. Tom Dalby designed several PCBs for various configurations along with models for 3D printing cases - from a //standalone// config with //Raspberry Pi// onboard to a minimal //micro// version. Stephan Preuß relentlessly tested many pre-releases, on //Spectrum// and //QL//, and found quite a few bugs. And not to forget all the discussions that sprang up over the collaboration, which were important for the direction of //OqtaDrive//. For example, initially I wasn't really interested in an //standalone// config that could be controlled via a web UI. But due to Tom's and Stephan's suggestions and friendly nudging, this is today my favorite config. :-D By open sourcing, //OqtaDrive// could also win the first contributors.
