Trump Card just £20 (but Project!)
Posted: Sun Oct 04, 2015 5:03 pm
Does anyone want a Trump Card as a project for £20 plus postage?
It works most of the time - I have been struggling along with it for ages until a reasonable priced replacement came up (which I have now acquired).
So why is it a project?
Derek has tested and swapped some RAM chips. However, the card is still temperamental - sometimes the QL will freeze in the midst of copying files, and always seems to freeze if you use rename. I even had the QL turn on a couple of times without any keywords being recognised OTHER than the Toolkit II commands!
You will also need a WD1770 controller chip as I had to use the one from this Trump Card in my replacement unfortunately... I did have a WD1770 around here, but cannot lay my hands on it at the moment
