Hi, is it still possible to order a Q68 built into custom case? if so I would love to buy one, your health allowing of course.

I had a QL when they where first released but reluctantly had to replace with a IBM PC compatible, required for the OU course I was on, I am now retired and would love to get a replacement.

HI,

please, is it still possible to order Q68? I was really interested in it.

If so please add me to waiting list with 1x Q68 built into custom case, with QL NET Connections + PS / 2 Splitter.

Thank you.

Hi Derek

Have watched the video on youtube, and read your comments on it.
The Q68 is a very nifty piece of kit.

Price is very reasonable as well.
Please can you add me to the list of people interested in buying one, with a case :)
Many thanks.

The new video shows a PS/2 - USB converter.
Would I be correct in thinking that if one attaches a USB hub then only peripherals that have Q68 drivers will work ?

You can get USB just about everything these days - printers, floppy drives, hard disks, CD players, SSD, wi-fi dongles etc.
But would any of them work with the Q68 ?

The PS/2 to USB converter isn't part of the Q68, it's something I had to buy separately. You can ask Derek if he has one available to sell.

I can try to see if a HUB will work but the only thing the Q68 will work with is mice and keyboards since the connection is PS/2. Note that I was able to have two keyboards and one mouse all working when I tested it.
