Re: Thor 8 with no keyboard

Both those Thors on ebay went for a lot (not to me)! £1,020 for the model in nicer cosmetic condition with the 2 FDDs and £675 for the single FDD model with signs of corrosion. That's more than I thought they'd go for.

Re: Switching Regulator?

My Murata 150115 regulator has been in my main QL (German model) for 5 years and has been fine, including for the use-case of dumping hundreds of original mdv carts. I haven't actually used it much recently with GC or Trump cards, but it certainly had no issue with those in the past. I wonder if the...

Re: My rare old QL version AH

I thought my QL was an oddity. This beats it. https://www.ebay.es/itm/296234059295?var&widget_ver=artemis&media=WHATS_APP How cool is that! Check out the mdv drives in the front panel. Someone really went to town with that one. I wonder what that display/drive unit started life as, some oth...

Re: My rare old QL version AH

What's the green serial number on the bottom? The socket next to the ROM is present on early Iss 5 boards and can be used to house a 74LS00 and with the wire links configured differently the ROM sockets can be converted to use normal EPROMS instead of those mask ROMs. I don't know what the number me...

Re: sinclair ql keyboard ( keys complete membrane defective )

indeed Here we are then. 20240204_190724.jpg 20240204_190750.jpg the part above the drives has some text melted into it but the other end, around the actual keyboard and the keys themselves, are pretty nice. Metal backing and rubber dome mat present, the only slight inconsistency is that the CTRL k...

Re: sinclair ql keyboard ( keys complete membrane defective )

You mean just a top case half, with all the keys, the rubber dome pad and the metal backing plate?
