The Sinclair QL Forum

Hi,

The QL Service Manual was originally published in a Black Card outer covers, there is copies of the manual in non-black covers.

I do not think that there is much a copyright issue now.

Does the software work, or is there a little work required to get the it to use more upto PC Basics.

Hi,

I am looking for a programmer that can programme the Altera Glue chip in the QXL. If I can get this chip programmed then there will be 8 QXL cards with 68040 with FPU for sale.

I will keep you posted.

Hi, I have some QXL boards to build, but there is a problem with the programming of the Altera Glue Chip. I can not seem to locate a suitable programmer, otherwise I should have 8 QXL boards. Do you need a PC with an ISA slot in it to run your QXL? Send me a Private Message and I will see what I can...
