I vote for big SD cards. Option 1 or 4.

Only, if the monitor supports 15 kHz.

Who is d..3? Will d..3 share scans of manuals and maps, or content of diskettes? And, what is the status of FTC - is it free, abandoned, or still commercial? https://www.ebay.ca/itm/Vintage-Sinclair-QL-Software-Fleet-Tactical-Command-by-Di-Ren-/283902361083?_trksid=p2047675.m43663.l10137&nordt=t...

Yes.
But this one goes to serial connector!

This is not intended for QL, but for ZX Spectrum 128.
UK version exists (search for "ZX Spectrum keypad"), but the spanish one is more common.

QL FDD controllers (at least Miracle's ones) can not handle 1.2MB 5.25" floppy drives. 1.2 MB 5.25" (high density) FDD has 360 RPM (same as 8"), while 3,5 " FDD (in IBM PC - Japanese computers as Sharp X68000 or PC-98 being an exception) and 360/720 K (double/quad density) FDDs ...

Still, I don't know what should I do with these termination resistors... Same as on SCSI. Remove on the thru device, keep them in place on the last device. (Excepting 3,5" drive). http://www.minuszerodegrees.net/diskette/5.25_floppy_drive_termination.jpg or https://retrocmp.de/fdd/general/resi...

Wrong!
You mixed the two answers together.

From the manual:
"With the 3.10 version, the driver has the ability to be started as WIN or QUB driver. If the driver was
configured/started as QUB driver (and not as default WIN), please replace any WIN reference by QUB
everywhere in the following sections."
Possibly THIS is the problem?

Yes.
The proper command is TK2_EXT.
