The Sinclair QL Forum

Because my QL has been acting up, I took the lid off. Luckily, I don't have a normal keyboard, so there was no risk of the membrane cracking up. However the joints on the IDE like cable that links the keyboard to the main board is going to need a resolder. But now to the point of my post, some Of th...

Thanks rich, I believe it is. I've about 5 of these in a bag, was going to replace the regulator in my Speccy. Might replace the one on the QL.

Would this be the same regulator that the zx spectrum uses?

So I left my QL turned on running Quill, it had been on for at least an hour before I popped downstairs. When I came back the screen had froze.

If this was a Beeb, I'd say the psu is overheating. And it is getting warm behind MDV1

At present, I download all my QL zip files to a directory called QL. This folder is shared in QPC2 as dos1_
So. I also have a floppy img, containing the unzip program.

From there, it's a simple matter of typing
EW FLP2_UNZIP;'-D FLP1_ DOS1_FILENAME.ZIP'

Point me in his direction Rich and I'll happily give it a shot

Will they work with QPC? As that is the emulator I have setup alongside my QL. If I can get working copies back to the QL, it will mean I can send Simon my originals, minus the packaging of course


But my intention is to use the software on my physical QL.

In addition if you have contact details for the copyright holders. I would be more the happy to approach them.

Hi Rich

How much would you want for backups of both? I can provide pictures of the packaging and a receipt for Spellbound, dated 1987

I was intending to send these less then working copies to Simon, in the hopes he could salvage something useful for preservation.

I dont seem able to find M-Crunch or Metropolis on Dilwyns website

M-Cosmic was a bit of fun
