Where can we download it for our ancient QLs?
Thanks!
I have emailed Hisoft (again) to see if it can be released into the public domain - it is still commercial software subject to copyright restrictions.

QL Flightdeck - help needed

This seems a really odd problem. QL Flightdeck works fine on QPC2 and Q-emulator. See the demo version: http://www.rwapadventures.com/downloads/flight.zip However, when I try running it on a real QL, it shows the instrumentation panel, beeps and then freezes the system !! I just can't think of a rea...

Re: Seen on eBay

Actually the QLs with Schoen keyboards are fairly common - people seem to buy them because they like the look, but then they have problems with key bounces and need a Hermes to get them under control :) I sell standard QLs for around £65 - there are quite a few QLs on ebay at the moment - don't expe...

Re: QL Keyboard Membranes

That's me, Rich, always after a bargain. Still, I coughed up for the Trump card, eh? Now I know why you call yourself Rich, ha ha! (Only kidding!) 14 quid is fair for the membrane IMHO. I paid more for a Speccy one, and that doesn't work perfectly, thanks to a slight misalignment and the plastic be...

Re: QL Keyboard Membranes

Hee hee - reduce the price - what a cheek!? With the increasing cost of silver used for the tracks and switches, these will probably end up being more expensive! It was not that long ago that QL membranes were £20 each - you can get them for £14 each on sellmyretro.com ! It doesn't help that due to ...

QL Keyboard Membranes

Well - I have just sold my last QL keyboard membrane from the batch of 250 funded by Quanta at the end of 2010.

Re: Cased Sinclair QL

Hmm - you are right it does look a bit like that - however, that's not where it came from :)

It was donated to Quanta following the owner's passing away.
