Re: Riser feet 2 or 3?

There were several thousand remainder stock of assembled spares and refurbs put together for clearance sales after AMSTRAD bought Sinclair's assets.

Re: Riser feet 2 or 3?

There are two styles of feet: the first style has a central 'pin' that fits inside the rubber feet on the QL. The second type had two clips that would attach to slots by the sides of the feet and were supplied with Samsung QLs that had the modified cases. The pin type was supplied x3, the clip type ...

Re: Is it possible to power a QL board with a ATX PSU?

I do have a bunch of Mplanes, and as I've said elsewhere, I'll be resuming QL activities in September most likely. I do have a 4-layer PCB design for a QL backplane that has ATX power, but I will not be producing it. I will probably release the design files in September or October.

Re: Sinclairql

As park of winding up the business I had to take down the store and site to show the licensing authorities I was no longer trading. This was a required step to dissolve the LLC.

I still own the domain and it will be back in September with all new content.

Re: 68020 lives again!

I know one of the people involved with this company. It has a good number of former Motorola/Freescale employees.

I do have a few 68EC020 around here somewhere.

Re: Sandy Electronics...

The microdrive belt plan did not go well, but I will be returning to that in September. The part can be 3D printed in rubber. There will be no more felt pads. I'm still working through, straightening things up and paying debts, etc and returning bits and bobs where they need to get back to. There's ...

Re: Time for a new Star Trek TV show?

You'll see a lot of original 60s cast revisiting, and some BIG names.... Yeah. The first one was an adjustment, but it grows on you. The production values and the structure are VERY authentic.
