Re: A small QL

I've tested Lynx with SMSQmulator to connect to Dilwyn's page and download QL zip files. QLirc should work with the Q68 to connect to the QL Forum (and other IRC's). It would be nice if someone with a Q68 could test QLirc. Tim Hi Tim, QLirc well hidden on QL Homepage. Where is dowload link for QLir...

Re: Z88 power supply

Just had a quick look on eBay for Z88s and accessories, feeling a little nostalgic after getting rid of my Z88 some years ago.

Re: Video cable compatible with all Scart TVs
