Switchable QL-SD

Post by lowrybt »

Hello,

I purchased one of the new switchable QL-SD devices a month or two ago. The manual did not indicate how to implement the on\off switch. Anyone know the steps and\or have pics of the switch implemented?

Thanks,

Tom

Hi my friend, I've one of that sd-card and I can say to you that the feature works fine! there are two empty socket pins on upper side of main pcb if you short them the sd-card drivers are off and you can use the memory address of external rom (C000)
best regards
ciao!

Yes, they definitely sell quickly.
It makes me think I should increase my output a little.
As an alternative I could increase the price.
Which of the two options are easier to implement? And what would be the impact?
In both options more money comes monthly.
But I suppose building more QL-SD gives more building fun and success.
So I try this option first :mrgreen:

Step up to red alert. Sir, are you absolutely sure? It does mean changing the bulb :!:

I know which avenue I would prefer - increase production = lots of happy QLers - increase price = lots of QL moaners.... :D
