The Sinclair QL Forum

Hi all,

I am selling my Gold Card on SellMyRetro.com. The Buy It Now price is £275 but the reserve is a lot lower than that.

All proceeds will be used to make QL hardware. Gold Card batteries are now in production, and multi-ROM cards will be available in about two months. There are a couple of other interesting releases coming up too. This sale is purely to fund those developments.

Aaaaand SOLD! Thank you

@#@@##@@##@@# that was quick

If someone made a replica gold card and put it out for say £100 I reckon they would clean up.

I suppose a PCB design could be generated and new PCBs made.

I do not have a Gold Card to do this.

The other problem is the Altera Chip on the Gold/Super Card has a specific version of Altera chip that is date sensitive.

I am looking into this to see if a replacement chip can be used.

Don't worry, I'll be posting another one in a few days. Also, an Aurora, Trump Card and a couple of other bits and bobs.

As for the GC replacement discussion, let's start a new thread as I believe this is quite doable but it would be good to understand the issues.

@Dave: Do you have Trump Card for sale yet?

I'm posting an 896K Trump Card on SellMyRetro.com this week. It has the original box and manuals, and is tested/working perfectly. It has the original metal cover/heatsink too.

It will be a reverse auction like the Gold Card, starting at £175 and dropping £5 every day.

I will post here when I list it.
