Great to have plenty of space for HDD .win container files and very useful to have a floppy drive to hand that you can access from the QXL and the PC side (for transferring small files from the internet to the QXL for example). And you can easily add or remove files from the QXL.win container from the PC side (or copy the QXL.win file to a newer PC and do it from there). The QNET connection is also handy to transfer files to/from an original QL. They are not lightening fast, but with the right settings they can handle the complete SMSQ/E based systems that you can get online ready-to-go as QXL.win files, i.e. QLE and Black Phoenix. Performance-wise it was very close to the Q68, but the Q68 is more practical due to the SD cards, FAT device, the small size, the fact it makes absolutely no noise and some other improvements!
Thanks for sharing your impressions. I hope you won't mind if I get in touch with some add'l questions.

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