I brought it down from the loft to give it a check-out before the 40th anniversary in March, plugged it in and switched it on without the RAM pack and it worked for a few seconds and then the output signal disappeared. Swapping the vLA81 ULA replacement out and putting the original ULA at least got...

I did not like some of Ricks designs, there are some better solutions. Heresy!! I definitely like the red waferdrive design as it uses the same keyboard, seems a bit lower profile for easier typing, and the red wafer drive actually looks surprisingly good. It really does look like it could be the n...

The Black Box PS/2 to USB converters all work with the Q68, but as you suggest,there is a update to the Q68 FPGA code. However, there is only a small quantity of the converter and no other supplies and Black Box have classified the converter as end of line. Maybe the converter can be copied, but th...

Please say it’s the mini wafer tower! Is that what it was called? The one on the cover of the DELETE. I'm hoping to put a 60% keyboard into the left that's removable (or you can keep it in the housing to use like a QL) and the Q68 sits in where the wafer drive sits (with the cover removable to get ...

1611245862873.JPEG That looks great. I have a plan for a new QL case for the Q68 that will pay homage to a Rick Dickinson design...waiting for the parts to come in and then see if it's dooable. It may not work out but I'm going to prototype it with easy material to see if could fit into place to sc...

Wow, I guess BREXIT never ironed out these things (sorry for my ignorance on this, our focus in the US was on a retarded president). Will this get ironed out eventually...is this just part of the transition part?

If I order something from the UK should I expect these type of export charges.

I think it takes a few posts to activate the PM feature...you may already be there with 3.

Welcome to the forum. I'm also a Z88 owner...need to fire that up again one day. I've been using a QL since '89 and only recently got a ZX Spectrum 48K...it probably needs some work I would guess.

Would love to get the completely dead machine to Adrian of Adrian's Digital Basement. Noel and I had talked about getting him a dead QL during November. Would be interesting to see him debug a QL. I may have another dead QL but will need to sort out more boxes from the garage :) I'm assuming you wo...

IIRC only MS Word was WYSIWYG. WordPerfect used text mode but had the famous 'underwater screen' where you could see al the format codes. But in the early PC days I preferred Quill too. WordPerfect has also produced a WYSIWYG version for MSW$, my brother used it in his company, but I don't know if ...
