Hello
How can I preserve my microdrive cartridges? I've had 2 of them fail on me, only got 3 left. The pad seems to be coming off and jamming the tape mechanism. Is there a replacement or technique to reduce the cance of this happening?
Cheers
JonB

Hi Dave

Re: QL to SCART
Yeah, it says the pinouts are the same but the signal voltages, and hence the built in resistors for the cable, are different.
Anyone tried a ZX cable with a QL?
