The Sinclair QL Forum

Last chance to order before Christmas (if you want it as a treat - too late to post abroad now)... I have listed the following rare software on www.sellmyretro.com on 4 day listings - QLiberator SuperBASIC Compiler (rare and early boxed version on microdrive - latest version of software supplied) - ...

I have recently come across three microdrive cartridges for some rare Sinclair QL software. They were released as part of an accounts package written by XPERT Software - more details appear at: http://www.rwapadventures.com/ql_wiki/index.php?title=Xpert Software Does anyone have working copies of th...

I find Q-Emulator excellent for playing older games - and with Daniele's program for making images of microdrive cassettes which can be loaded directly into the emulator - this gets around most of the copy protection schemes.

I ought to introduce myself really for some of those who have not come across me before.
