Thanks :D They're beautiful but I've made little or no use of them so far... hmmm. Sounds like me, it's a pain when real life gets in the way... I recall as a lad I had endless time to 'waste' on my Spectrum games and programming. I also know that much of Christmas will spent watching my 4 yr old d...

Re: Sandy Electronics...

Glad to hear it, you sound relieved to be done with it.

I would definitely be keen to get more microdrive pads: tried the first batch you sent me, and they work a treat!

Re: QL memory expansion

Hi, wasn't sure if you are still looking, but I have a working 512k RAM expansion available.

Re: Sandy Electronics...

Hi Dave,

I guess it is sad to say goodbye to one more of the original QL companies, but it sounds like you are doing it for all the right reasons. As long as it frees up more time and energy for you to do things you want, I'm glad you have made this step.

Cheers,

Simon

ICL microdrive cartridge boxes

I'm hoping to resurrect and preserve a small collection of cartridges for my QL. I got one of the brown ICL plastic boxes with a job lot a while ago, and am now tracking down a couple more, if I can. Anyone out there know what I'm on about? Anyone have any they would like to part with? :geek:

Re: Microdrive felt pads

Excellent, many thanks Dave! No rush, but I think I'm going to be spending a chunk of the winter ordering more of these and refurbing all my cartridges!
