Re: Rom cartridges.

Thanks very very much Dave. It's good to know I won't be able to damage the QL. I've got some ROM's coming, at least 1 of which is labelled such that I believe it is for a QL. Some others are labelled with game names too, which I'm hoping are more likely to be QL than TONTO or OPD. At least I can tr...

Rom cartridges.

Hi.
Regarding ROM cartridges.
If I plug 1 into my QL and it transpires the cartridge is not for a ql - do I damage my ql?
What if the cartridges are for a tonto?
I've only had the ql 1 week and am loathe to break it.
Thanks in advance,
Rob

Re: New to QL. Wanting to write from QL to SD (type) card directly.

Welcome back to the QL world - if you are going to use Microdrive cartridges just make sure that the felts are in good condition - unlikely at this age unless they are replaced... I bought a QUBIDE interface on sellmyretro from ZAXXON (it has 512K RAM as well as a bonus to use more advanced QL soft...

Thanks Dave. Do you know when/where the new QL-SD will happen?

Re: Announcement - new QL Interface

That project seems ideal, what stage is it at?
If you look me up on LinkedIn you'll see I'm a very qualified and experienced tester. I'm the one from Nottingham.
I'd happily buy one and beta test it professionally.
How could I progress this?

Hello. I've now got a QL, always wanted one. It sits proudly with my rubber key spectrum and ZX81. For the latter 2 devices I have gadgets that enable me to load/save to SD cards. That is, not only can I use a PC to write to the SD card and then load it into my ZX81/Spectrum, I can program on my 2 S...
