That is one mean-looking machine! Great job, vanpeebles!

Put it on ebay as a "rare version of Sinclair QL" and see the bids go through the roof :D

Funny thing.

I have a QL with two SD slots. I realised I can lower the right microdrive square bump to be level with the keyboard case cover, and and going to start on that mod this weekend.

That is a really neat effect, and I would love it if you made a video showing some of the techniques you used.

How did you paint the keycaps but leave the existing two-shot molded parts clearly visible?

Are you interested in taking commissions?

Can you post a photograph of the SD Cards slots?
