Copy protection can be a problem on a lot of programs :( I wonder if a specialist microdrive copying program would work? You really need a floppy drive on your QL though :) Exactly what i am looking for! A specialist microdrive copying program. I know it is really difficult but is there a chance to...

Here they are sorted into year piles.

It is for a small project I am working on (QL related), but we need a Windows front-end.....

I have quite a few spare ROMs from various interfaces - I will dig them out and see - I have at least a v1.24 MicroP ROM chip here

Rich

Reading the Aurora manual the evening before putting the components together, it said that Gold Card's with yellow...

I just dug out a copy of Lightning, so yes, I can supply it. However, this has perplexed me somewhat.... I have Lightning and Lightning SE from the Digital Precision Collection. Lightning (lng_text_ext) is v1.11 and Lightning SE (lng_text_ext) is v2.14 However I also have a disk for each... The disk...
