I bought this interface from Dennis Briggs in about 1988 at a QL show. He mentioned his stock of MP interfaces had been updated with the official upgrade from QJump.

Yes, that's the one.

Sorry to bring this one up from the dead again. I'm late to the party as usual.
Derek or Rich, can you send me the bin file for the QFLP upgrade ROM, if poss? I have the original box and manual, so must qualify as a legal owner (and I won't share it).

Also, with respect to the 5 mysterious jumpers on the MicroPeripherals Disk Interface, this is what my manual, dated July 1985, says in that regard:
MicroP Jumpers.jpg
Jumpers are numbered 1 to 5 from right to left.

Would it be OK if I copied this to my website? Might be a useful supplement for the manual on my site, in case anyone has this variation of the interface?

It's something that really is only useful to people with such an interface, so I'd consider that 'fair use' as a replacement of a bit of code that would otherwise go extinct and the company that produced it is defunct. Up to you, technically it's probably still illegal - at least make it available just long enough for me to download it

Hi,
My apologies, it seems I have the QLP Ugrade for MicroPeripherals v1.24, as a ROM image, but it is still copyright as detailed earlier.

I doubt Tony Tebby would mind it being sent by pm as Chr$ does have the original box and manual

I've got it now, from some secret Santa's.
Thanks.
