Re: Thor 8 with no keyboard

Both those Thors on ebay went for a lot (not to me)! £1,020 for the model in nicer cosmetic condition with the 2 FDDs and £675 for the single FDD model with signs of corrosion. That's more than I thought they'd go for.

Re: Today I Received...

Jealous of Mortville Manor, I've never seen that one available for sale. Spotted them being sold as a pair on eBay and thought they were worth nabbing After Re-felting them all, Wanderer seems to be fully intact (have taken backups) but Mortville has 4 corrupt files :sad: Does anyone have the follo...

Re: Switching Regulator?

My Murata 150115 regulator has been in my main QL (German model) for 5 years and has been fine, including for the use-case of dumping hundreds of original mdv carts. I haven't actually used it much recently with GC or Trump cards, but it certainly had no issue with those in the past. I wonder if the...

Re: My rare old QL version AH

I thought my QL was an oddity. This beats it. https://www.ebay.es/itm/296234059295?var&widget_ver=artemis&media=WHATS_APP How cool is that! Check out the mdv drives in the front panel. Someone really went to town with that one. I wonder what that display/drive unit started life as, some oth...

Re: My rare old QL version AH

What's the green serial number on the bottom? The socket next to the ROM is present on early Iss 5 boards and can be used to house a 74LS00 and with the wire links configured differently the ROM sockets can be converted to use normal EPROMS instead of those mask ROMs. I don't know what the number me...
