Re: MicroPeripherals Disk Interface ROM

If you read the binary file and with an hex editor change the FDK occurrences to FLP and write a new eprom maybe it's all you need to do I think it'll work Yeah, probably, but there is more to the QJUMP QFLP upgrade than that (e.g. TK2 extensions like wildcards) and I just want to have the original...

Re: MicroPeripherals Disk Interface ROM

2x Original QLs working (except mdv)

On offer here are 2 sort-of working QLs. Sort of, due mainly to non functioning microdrives. Both are in used condition but cosmetically generally ok with all keys present. No. 1 is an issue 5 PCB with serial D09-024322 (with the socket for a 74LS00, so a bit more flexible with EPROM usage - if you ...

Re: ICL OPD

Bother. Chr$'s XBAD03 image is the same as mine, suggesting that there's another fault on the OPD causing Housekeeping to crash when attempting to format a cart. I remember being able to format a cart, but it was with my main OPD with a different set of ROMs.... the ones I dumped were from a spare ...

Thanks Tony. Yes, it's 'fast' RAM. I hope your Trump card works (no reason it shouldn't, they are quite reliable).

Re: Memory Expansion Etc.

You won't need the 5v on the 12v line. And one ground should be enough (use the one next to the 5v).

Re: Snagged an Aurora!

Worth more than £100 Derek. I'd buy all you have for £100 each! It's subjective of course and there are a few factors (like any thing old and offered for sale). They are rare but demand is also low as there aren't many people that even know what they are or would want/need one. They are complicated ...
