PS/2 Keyboard Musings
I mentioned on Tetroid's keyboard post below that I wondered whether it was possible to connect a PS/2 keyboard to a QL using an Arduino as a bridge. Please accept my ramblings as a method of getting my thoughts down. As someone who has only a small amount of knowledge on these topics (always danger...

Re: QL keyboard mod
Am I right in thinking this would be a direct replacement for the original QL membrane keyboard, so no additional hardware would be required? If so then I too would be interested, depending on cost. My old Spem keyboard no longer works and i was hoping to connect a PS2 keyboard via an Arduino Nano t...

Re: Bad or Changed Medium Disc 3

Re: Gotek drive in ql help needed
Hi, i'm in the process of doing exactly the same thing. I can let you have a copy of a blank 720k disk image i'm using. PM me if you want a copy. I created it using QemuLator but It needs to be the registered version. The FF config is just the standard one and as others have said, a jumper needs to ...

Using a FlashFloppy Gotek Drive with a QL
Finally got around to adapting a Gotek drive and looking to use it to replace a failing drive in a Miracle Systems Twin-Drive unit (Please don't shoot me!). The Miracle Systems drives are NEC FD1037A drives and has a slider switch at the back. I thought this would be the drive select but there appea...

Replacement Key switches for a SPEM keyboard
Hi, after a long stay in the cupboard, my QL had an outing today. All is well with it apart from the SPEM replacement keyboard, where some of the keys don't work and others only partly work after a good bashing. I've tried contact cleaner but it hasn't made it much better, so I was wondering if anyo...

FlashFloppy and the Sinclair QL
Hi, Has anyone successfully attached a Gotek drive with the Flashfloppy firmware to a Sinclair QL. Is there a blank disk file I can use as a template and what options are set up in the config file/jumpers.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Andy.
