I used to work in a team who developed 6809 and 68000 based hardware many years ago.
I had a QL back in the day and loved it but it was one of those things that got sold off to help buy a house.
So, I now have 3 from ebay and in the next few weeks I'm going to be testing and repairing them.
I love these old machines and keeping them in good health is important and fun.
I'm looking at memory expansion, sd replacements for one of the mdvs that I know is faulty and I'd love to get them networked together if that ever worked.
Minerva seems a good first upgrade...
Wish me luck

And good luck with your QL repairs. Keep us updated on what you find, and don;t worry about asking questions if you need any help. There are some hardware geniuses on here.

Hi Mark,
Yes indeed, you are not far away. MrsD and I occasionally pass through Thirsk. I think we stopped once -- it was probably narket day!
