A little disappointed that the pic is not a Spanish QL keyboard.
That was on purpose. Spanish keyboard was introduced in 1985. So it's not 40 yet....

Great event yesterday to celebrate QL's 40th anniversary. And as in the good old times, a lot of BBQL's up and running, and some other pieces of hardware running QL software (Aurora's, QXL's, Ataris, Amigas and Q68's)
Great to see that a first party happened!
Well, indeed, it has only taken us 40 years to do this exclusive QL event in Spain, but we have always been present at Sinclair community events in Spain. This one, finally, is only from QL.

The Posiedon card sounds interesting - I'd not heard of it before. Can you share more info?
