Re: DIY RAM EXPANSION

GoldCard support would be great and it would also solve the memory problem on my QL fitted with the QL-SD. However, there are two other QLs sitting on the shelf ;)

Re: DIY RAM EXPANSION

Don´t forget to offer fully populated boards for people that can only replace a capacitor on a Spectrum, like me ;)

Re: Couple of interesting items on ebay

I also placed a bid on the Schon, but had to leave with empty hands :(

I´d definitely go for a new QL keyboard, if there was one.

Re: The humongous Sandy Electronics thread...

Glad you feel better Dave!

Any update on the SuperRAM? I saw the article in the APR/MAY QUANTA magazine, but it ends a little abrupt when it comes to the SuperRAM and your decision on that. I´m still quite desperate for an affordable memory expansion to be used with my QL-SD.

Re: Upgrade to QFLP does not work

Wow, at least for one of my "problem children" I could finally find a solution. I ordered a NOS EPROM ST 2764A from Ebay, programmed "QFLP for Micro P Disc V.124" on it, replaced the original EPROM on the Micro P controller and - hooray - the ROM message appears on the screen and...

Re: Upgrade to QFLP does not work

Thank you Mark, sounds like a good plan. I also ordered myself a NOS 2764 EPROM. I will try it out and report back. @Dave: Yes, I mainly got annoyed by the FDK1_, but also that disks cannot easily be renamed and I thought replacing the EPROM would be dead easy, as it often is in the Spectrum add-on ...

Re: Upgrade to QFLP does not work

Strange, I followed Mark´s advice and doubled the file size using the copy /b command. Then I burnt the 16 KB file onto a 27128 EPROM. After installing the chip the first power on looked promising. I could see the ROM message on the screen, but then the QL resetted and instead of the message only gr...

Re: Upgrade to QFLP does not work

Thanks for your reply. I know this auction, but I had massive trouble with this particular seller earlier - in fact the negative feedback he received was by me. However, the PSU is not the problem. In standard MicroP mode the unit works perfectly. I tried to use QFLP_for_MicroP Disc_v1.24_1984.ROM, ...
