The Sinclair QL Forum

Thank you everyone for your comments. I too have the new add ons (vDrive, vMap, CF card, floppy drives). I enjoy vDrive the most because I can use software hardcoded for mdv1_ and 2_.

Thank you!

Does anyone know where I could get a copy of mDump version 2, the QL program to dump a microdrive image?

Hi,

As you guys might have seen in my recent other post, my QL failed.
I don't suppose anyone has a late issue pcb (D16?) to sell? I want to be able to use my own ROM/QL-SD etc.

Thanking you,
Mark
