The Sinclair QL Forum

I haven't been able to find any documentation on the modem. It was sitting in my drawer for 20+ years. It matches the QL look (actually more the ZX81 with its red lettering). I wonder if it's designed to deal with the range of voltages. On wikipedia it says that some "RS232 compatible" dev...

I'm playing with an old modem and am trying to create a cable for it to use on my QL. It's tiny and doesn't have a power input (Stowaway 2400 Vocal). Modem.png I initially thought it used the power from the phone line (like telephones did) but plugged it into my WIndows laptop and got it to recogniz...

Looks like Charlie Ingley has been busy creating more awesome stuff.

I think one year they flew into Logan and rode their folding bikes to the show. I bought my QL from Sharps in Mechanicsfille, Virginia. I got a bunch of stuff...

I haven't quite figured out how to install software sourced from Dilwyn (thank you Dilwyn). Is there a resource you can point me to that would instruct? There's a bit of a chicken-and-egg issue there. For all the zip files on the site you need the QL unzip utility, which is an executable -- well, y...

Oh, that's so handy. I was just playing around with Photon over the holidays so this tool is nice to have to see what the _scr file looks like.

That's one large print bed you have to get the full-size QL printed.

I have a Panasonic micro-cassette recorder https://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-Microc ... 00855ZODA/:


Measured its head an it is only about 5 millimeters, so they do make them smaller. Where to source them though, I don't know.

Speaking of QL @ 40, saw this piece pop up:
