Internal Microdrive for English QL

Post by grafvonb »

I moved my QL-SD drive from an English-QL to a German one, however the md from the German version does not fit the English version due to other connectors, so I'm looking for an English md now. Do you have any?

Is your German mdv one of the very late ones with a female connector block? If so, the pins/holes are the same pitch and in the same places so you can make an adapter to change gender. I did so today so that I could test a German late mdv in a UK QL. Worked a treat.

Ask me about felt pads - I can cut them to size and they have proved excellent for mdv data recovery.
