I have been having a bit of a sort out this morning.... Is anyone interested in either of the following small interfaces? One is a replacement for the QL ROMs - it has an EPROM labelled with MGU + ICE (presumably the MGUK ROM and ICE ROM). 100_2107.JPG The other is a batter backup for the clock - I ...

Please give me a shipping quote with and without the keyboard and I'll get back to you after I've checked in the garage, as I can't...

Quite often it is the capacitor which has failed but if you are unlucky, then you melt the copper windings around the transformer.
