The Sinclair QL Forum

I took last month a picture of my other QL

I toke out the roms again and cleaned the connectors and we are one step further, we now get the start-up screen but without the text in it and no reactions on the keyboard
The board is an issue 6 and the pics are attached

I bought the Rom and when it didn’t work I placed the old roms back but the result is the same, almost directly after switching on the strpes.

I can’t see anything before

Sorry for posting it twice but when I submitted the first one I got a message that I was not allowed to submit it.

I changed my JM roms for a Minerva rom and it wouldn’t boot anymore, the screen showed big horizontal strips, 9 black and 8 white, the first idea was that the toolkit 2 on the Rom had problems with the toolkit2 in the super Qboard but after removing the board and with the bare QL it’s still the same...

After installing Minerva the QL didn’t boot anymore, before the selection F1/F2 it halted and showed big black and white horizontal stripes, 9 black and 8 white and after inserting the JM ROMs again it is still the same, see attachment.
Does anybody have an idea whets wrong?

Thanks Fred

Hallo all,

I have a Sandy Disk interface with 512 rom and tk2 and it has 2 connectors, a 34 pin for the floppy drive and another 26 pin I never used, is this also for a floppy drive and if so can I use them both at the same time, I have this since the 85 or about but don’t have a manual.

I made a post and like add a picture to it but I can’t get it with copy and paste.
Should be something simple but I can’t fix it

If possible send me his email
