Hi everyone and thanks for adding me to the forum.
I've had a QL from 2011 and during the years I've come to appreciate it more and more. I never saw one before that (I think) but I remember reading about it quite a lot in the 1980s. Perhaps it was the first "big computer" I was excited about. ZX Spectrum was the first computer we had at home.
I now have three QL computers:
QL D15-101906: issue 6 JS ROM
QL D15-108201: Issue 6 MGY ROM, with Finnish-language keyboard and localisation, sadly a few keys are missing.
QL D14-098040: Issue 5 JSL1 QL-SD Minerva ROM (Can't remember the original ROM, maybe JM)
Two are fitted with RWAP keyboard membranes. I also now have the Tetroid Disk Interface/memory expansion, which has made the QL a lot more interesting to me in recent times.
Happy holidays!

Welcome to the forums. If you need standard (UK) key tops for this one, I have spares - but alas no foreign key sets....

Hi, I'll probably place an order eventually, but as I may need different small items I'll give it a bit of thought. (One of the key pillars is broken too)RWAP wrote: Welcome to the forums. If you need standard (UK) key tops for this one, I have spares - but alas no foreign key sets....
Yes, it's likely I can't ever restore that keyboard to it's original condition, as some of the missing keys are of the Finnish variety. I think it is amusing they went the trouble of translating the text on the SHIFT, ALT etc keys too.
To everyone, thank you for the welcomes!
