QL ISA-PC Card on ebay !

Post by nichtsnutz »

Hello all,

I just would like to post a link to an ebay action where a QL ISA-PC Card was sold!
Wow,this looks to be a very rare QL Card! I unfortunately can not afford things like this.
Does anyone knows more about the technics of this card and how it works on the
software side? I do not see any ROM on the card,is this loaded on the card from the PC side ?
Just curious about it.

It's a shame that the link no longer seems to work for some reason.

In any case, I presume it is a QXL card, which was an early form of hardware emulator - it loaded SMSQ from the PC disk and used the PC peripherals for i/o.

The QXL was based around the 68040 chip - I am still trying to persuade Derek Stewart to get his EPROM programmer out so that he can finish off some of these.

Well not knowing anything about the QXL card, the site description includes
This is a Sinclair QL Tower with a Sinclair QL Card with Motorola CPU+FPU
This is one of the fastest QL devices ever made
This is not an Emulater
Interesting
