Re: QL Commercial Software Preservation

We always seem to have this same old argument - remember that I am the only person in the whole of the QL community who set out a few years ago specifically wanting to create a QL software preservation project and the QL Wiki, re-investing the few sales of QL items I get into the project, for minim...

Re: UK Sinclair QL Microdrives not working in the USA

hi, I recently purchased 2 fully working QL's in the UK and now have them proudly showcased in my humble computer museum in Texas, US. That's the good news. The bad news is this: One of the QL's does the normal Drive 1 test at startup looking for a tape etc. However, it (and drive 2) both fail to l...

Re: MDV1 unit problems on 2 QL ITA (NEW)

It is 3x further from the video area, so 1/8th the interference. Hi Dave, Sorry for being a little thick... just had to verify that was the case. There seems to be a lack detailed information concerning the Microdrive circuitry. Thanks Dave: Derek is checking my MDV1 drive of My QL that I use for t...

I was wondering what interest there would be in a new production run of these - price is likely to be £90 each
Interested ;)

Re: MDV1 unit problems on 2 QL ITA (NEW)

I see you have purchased some more rollers - they should last longer than that - although I know you have been working your way through a lot of temperamental microdrive cartridges (don't forget to clean the residue from the tape heads and the roller). You can also try turning the roller upside dow...

Re: MDV1 unit problems on 2 QL ITA (NEW)

Well when was changed worked very well.

Now after...hundreds of md's restored (in less that 1,5 months) it become a little slow and will not format well.

I see the same in other drive (NEW) but also after changhing the roller he continue working bad.

You suggest to buy some new rollers from Rich?
