Sorry, I've been rather inactive the past few months... I'm still around, but work, health and other projects have eaten up all my time recently. Just building a Harlequin Clone, and populating a DivMMC, and then will be getting back to the QL.

Re: Hello from germany!
Welcome! Your story is similar to my own, except it was my brother and he bought a BBC micro rather than a QL. My top tip is take your time working out how to best upgrade your QL. I rushed it and bought a lot of stuff that became obsolete (ha ha) within days of buying it. Also, be careful of the bo...

Re: SDHC adaptors...
I must admit, I would prefer one of these to an internal sd card system. I like the idea of an external system, perhaps housed in a zx microdrive unit?

Re: Happy Christmas Everyone!
Happy Christmas everyone! Finally got an exhausted and somewhat blown away daughter off to bed. Now breaking out the wine and beer!
Hope you are all having a great day, and seasons greetings to the QL community!

Re: Quanta committee election.
As a past member of Quanta in the 80's, and long time follower, I don't have reservations about it being "too soon"... I have read and participated in discussions about Quanta's direction for many years. My goal, if elected, would be to work towards a more active Quanta. I would tend to v...

Re: Quanta committee election.
I'd like to forward myself for an at large/non-specific committee position. It is too easy to sit back and comment or criticize. For me, the time has come to get involved. However, not having personal access to any other members, I seek volunteers to propose and second my candidacy. If anyone would...

Re: Changing the small sponge on the microdrive carts
I've been trying the same sort of thing recently, using pieces of new self-adhesive felt tabs (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281170901231?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649). So far, the experiments have been quite promising, although getting the thickness of the tab correct is the k...

Re: miracle systems ExpanderRAM
Marvellous, I knew I needed to PEEK somewhere, but thanks for confirming I have 640k of throbbing QL power at my fingertips!
It just amazes me how much fun I can have with a 30 year old computer which has 51200 times less memory than the iMac I am writing this post on! Now, that is progress....
