The Sinclair QL Forum

I think that this is an interesting discussion - however, I don't think that skagan will ever see eye to eye with any retro business making a profit, so that those profits can be re-invested in new projects. I do not sell ANYTHING as 'tested when last put away' or guaranteed not to be dead on arriva...

if there ever is any new peripheral or device developed for the QL in the future, it will be even more overpriced, always according to """The Market Forces"""... which is a self-fulfilling prophecy... isn't it... Actually that is not always the case - I favour the SD c...

Actually, I never even realised that it was against the forum rules on that site - never having bought anything or sold anything on it, but well no great loss there for me being banned for simply buying goods from someone wanting to sell them! The seller got the price he was looking for, so was happ...

I guess it depends on how much you think you would get for your first born! Unfortunately, the value of them is dictated by market forces - you don't find many disk interfaces for sale, let alone Trump Cards, Gold Cards and Super Gold Cards which have been tested and are fully working. I would like ...

As well as the existing Gold Card, I have now added a second Gold Card, a Trump Card and a Trump Card 2 to sellmyretro.com - see

Watch out for some Super Gold Cards next week !!

I have salvaged a handful of serial port and joystick port connectors for the UK QL (BT telephone style) sockets.

They have a wire attached to them (ending in bare wires), so can easily be wired up to 9 Pin DINs.

Certainly I would think a direct sector copier would do it - most forms of disk copy protection rely on having a bad sector or a deleted file in a certain sector.

By the way, QPC2 v4 (as provided with the last issue of QL Today) does allow you to mount disk img files as floppy disks....

Some of them make for an interesting read, but there are better out there. In my opinion: - Psion programs: Get the Blueprint books (there was another in the series which I have never seen) - SuperBASIC: Get Jan Jones book and the SBASIC/SuperBASIC Reference Manual - Machine Code: Get Colin Opie's b...

In reality, as a long time Quanta member - I think it is worthwhile - they have magnificently failed to embrace the power of the internet - and have had at least 3 attempts at doing the website - but it has never taken off or been in a position where it can be updated by committee members on a regul...
