Re: Upgraded Sinclair QL for Sale + extras

Oh, I see it now...yes, that's the one I wanted to create :-/ I thought someone a few months back had ordered a bunch of those boards and was going to sell the extras to forum members (I had said I wanted one) but it kind of never materialized...likely due to delays with COVID. I have a couple of P...

Re: Microdrive felt
