Re: QL Trump Card

It's boxed with instructions

On the QL connector I see 03 88

Sliding the cover off shows a chip with blue sticker on marked TCt 1.21A

Booting a QL with it in gives me V1.21a 896K RAM

QL Trump Card

My cousin has offered me a Trump card and I want to make sure I pay him a decent reward. What value are these nowadays?

Thanks

The biggest problem I can see is getting those files onto Microdrive

Dump/edit file from microdrive

EDIT looks like these are abacus and quill files. I don't have either program so can the line editor b...

Re: What's my next step to fix poorly QL

You star! I now have 2 working QLs

Sadly the keyboard ribbon was in a terrible state and had to be trimmed. That will need replacing long term

What's my next step to fix poorly QL

I have two QLs, one boots and display's perfectly on this screen (UHF) the other is giving me this display with no response after pressing F2.

I'm new to QL hackery so can anyone help me here. I am pretty sure it is not the display.

Thanks
Dave

Hi

I can see that this is going to be a big issue so am currently glued to eBay. If anyone can help I'm all ears. The new m...
