Re: New Microdrive Labels

Hehe, okay :)

Makes me glad I live in America, so at least I am allowed to own my domain name. I could be in trouble if I returned to the UK. :)

Re: The humongous Sandy Electronics thread...

This week so far: constructive. I have been focusing on putting the infrastructure in place to run this as a business. I know, that sounds pretentious, but if I can't be organized and prepared, things will never run smoothly. I need an assembly/test area. A computing area. A printing area. A packing...

The logo was trademarked and the trademark has expired. You cannot use copyright to extend a trademark's protections (not here, anyway) and you can't copyright a name.

Re: Sandy Q Board problem

Do you know which version of SQB it is? Also, does it have memory on it?

Re: New Microdrive Labels

Will they be blank, or printed with the sinclair logo?

I tried making some, laser cut, and that worked out ok, but it wasn't very practical for pre-printing them. Registration is tough.

Re: DIY RAM EXPANSION

Try it. It will work. The problem comes if you have a noisy system, or one with lots of expansions putting all kinds of noise on the expansion bus. The faster GALs are sometimes quick enough to recognize spurious input as a valid signal. This means the device mostly works, but you might get the odd ...

Re: DIY RAM EXPANSION

That's very....spacious :)

Re: The humongous Sandy Electronics thread...

The thing that surprised me is that instead of being cool and logical, my reaction to these small setbacks has also been emotional. I feel held up and also like I have let people down. That's the last thing I want! When I made the decision to not add anything to the store until it was in hand and re...
