The Sinclair QL Forum

Hi,

I chose a different way:

I removed the rubber parts from the plug. One of the wires did lost its contact with the plug's pin. Then I soldered the wires to the pins and put a heat shrink tube around the plug and the wires ... and voilá: the plug works fine now.

Hmmm ... This seems to be the connection jack from the QL computer. What I need is a new plug for the power cable (from the power supply to the QL).

Hi,

I am afraid my QL's power supply has a loose contact at the connector which is plugged into the QL. Since this seems to be a very rare connector I wonder if I could repair it for myself or if I can finde an alternative (without canging the port of the QL).

Can anyone of you help?

Yes, that would be very nice. Do you have spare MicroDrives to copy them on (which of course I would pay for) or should I send MDs (I've got 5 or six with programs on them).

Since I cannot use the PM system we can communicate further details via email!

Thanks!

Hi, I've got the link to this board from a german classic computing board . There I was (I am!) searching for some microdrives from a "C" development kit for the QL. I am a media studies scholar from Berlin and I am having a research project about "The Archaeology of early Micro Compu...

Hi,

thanks to you and dex. Since I cannot send PMs (as a newbie) We had to discuss the more private things via email. You can contact me @ stefan.hoeltgen@hu-berlin.de

Hello,

I have recently bought a "C" Development Kit for the QL (from Metacomo) but there are the 3 Microdrives missing.

Is it possible to get them or copies of them anywhere? Does anyone of you have them and would copy or trade them so I can use the Dev. Kit?

Thanks in advance!
