Re: Today I Received...

The uSD card storage was the single best feature for me, along with the mouse facility. It has so many features for such a small device!

Re: SMSQ/E Executables

I think it was in the context of QL core for the Spectrum Next Can you say more, for those of us not on Facebook? - In another thread if it's likely to spawn a discussion and hijack this one?

Re: SMSQ/E Executables

Sorry, I think I confused everyone with my reply since I didn't understand it correctly when I first read it. I think Phoebus and those involved with that project (I think it was in the context of QL core for the Spectrum Next) meant something completely different, and weren't referring to placing a...

It was early days of QIMSI - I think someone (Maskenlos?) has made a publicly available case design, though I can't find the link for it on the Forum atm.

Re: QL serial to PC

But be careful to get the 631W variant. The commonly available 631A (UK telephone) types have a different polarisation. The Sinclair QL joystick ports accept a 630W plug The Sinclair QL serial ports accept a 631W plug The ZX Spectrum serial port accepts a 631W plug The ZX spectrum keypad/aux port ac...

Re: QL serial to PC

The UK-style serial and joystick connectors (Type 630W for joysticks, 631W for serial ports – these are the keyed connectors which look a little bit like British Telecom phone connectors) try Betterbox.co.uk at https://www.betterbox.co.uk/products/bt-631w-keyed-plug-ct6310.html and https://www.bette...
