Ben Versteeg makes those disk drive units - they should be very good as Ben has produced some items for me. The main problem (as always) is the shipping costs and lack of disk interfaces!
I don't have any spare interfaces, nor even memory expansions!

Re: QPC2 keyboard help
I have sent a PM with Marcel's email address as this will help.
It seems odd - almost as though the key mappings are completely wrong - you didn't say what version of QPC2 you are using... I have v3.33 (running v3.13 of SMSQ/e) - this appears at the top of the startup screen.

Re: QPC2 keyboard help
Hmm - I use QPC2 on W7 Pro (64 bit) - which version of W7 do you have?
Also what is the version number of your QPC2?

Re: How can you tell DD, HD or ED Floppy Drives apart?
If you have an SGC the only way of knowing is to put a HD disk into the drive and FORMAT it :D If it formats to 1440/1440 sectors, it is a DD drive If it formats to 2880/2880 sectors it is HD (or possibly ED) To test if it is ED, you will need to try formatting an ED drive (should give 6400/6400 sec...

I am sure that amongst all my 8301 chips, I must have one of these - £8 plus shipping

Re: FORMAT ram1_mdv2
If you swap mdv1_ and mdv2_ drive assemblies, does the problem follow the drive, or continue to be at mdv2_? This will at least isolate if it's logic on the main board or on the microdrive itself that is causing the problem. Hee hee - as I said I am not messing around any more with this as the QL h...
Re: eBay item
Yes, but only if the felt pad is intact - actually, don't worry too much about this - I spoke with John Southern at the Quanta show who said he has it on diskvanpeebles wrote:If I put a bid in for Mister Smith do you think a QL master such as yourself could do something with the microdrive if I sent it to you?

Re: FORMAT ram1_mdv2
I tried it without the 68008 - made no difference. I also swapped the 8302 and 8301 ULAs amd even swapped the 8049 for a Hermes, still no difference. Unfortunately, I don't have a ZX Microdrive to test the unit with (and the QL is now all boxed up to be shipped to a customer). I am not too certain t...
Re: eBay item
Eeeee I wonder why it didn't sell? The first time it sold for around £90, also Mister Smith sounds like a rare game, the QL wiki has it down as missing in action. I wouldn't mind getting a couple of the cartridges, but at £5 each untested plus £3 postage for a microdrive cartridge on its own, it's ...
