Sinclair QL Factory Test Jig
Am interested to see if anyone else has ever come across one of these???
From what I am told it maybe a Genuine test rig from the production factory.
When I had access to a QL it booted up and ran various keyboard, memory, IO and microdrive tests

Wow, certainly looks like it doesn't it. Be interesting to get a copy of the ROM data in it.

Ask me about felt pads - I can cut them to size and they have proved excellent for mdv data recovery.

Thank you for posting the pictures passat20se - never having seen one of those jigs before, it was great to view the photos. Goes to show, a lot more of these historical items than we think may be about, somewhere!
