I did try to fit my vDriveQL into the QL case, but it would need alot of changes to the QL PCB behind the Microdrives. So I do mot do it.

I may look into this again, as I do not like the vDriveQL in a Microdrive case.

But it gives me black screen for now - I reall need to find an IDE device. Not so easy anymore :)
If podt a picture of each side of the board, we might be able to help.

I have soldered a few of these Tetroid boards, the main problem area is having the resistor array the correct way around.

Thank you, Derek and everyone else, for your valuable input. In the end it was me again - I actually switched GAL's 1 & 2 :shock:

Now I REALLY need to find me a working IDE device. Got a DOM inbound from China, but that's weeks away...

Hi,

What sort of video adapter do you use for the QL display?

It's just a RGB to SCART cable from the RetroComputerShack.
