Hello from Seville (Spain)

Post by Bubu »

Hi there!!

It's Bubu, from Spain. I've got Sinclair stuff such as several spectrums, ZX81, a calculator, and some weeks ago a QL!! When I was a kid (I'm 42 now) I had a Spectrum 48 KB and I used to program in assembler. I only saw a QL on the MicroHobby magazie, and I could see that it was a enterprise computer rather than one for playing games :-D (I was only a kid)

Some weeks ago a friend of mine gived me a QL and he told me that it didn't work at all, even some keys missed. The QL has no PSU. I did one and tried it, and he was right, the QL doesn't work. Searching through internet I knew Rich Mellor, who sold me the keys I needed, and adviced me to start a thread in this forum, and so I will ;-)

So, thanks a lot, to Rich and all of you!

PD: Sorry for the mistakes in english, as I don't use Google Translator at all :-)

hhahAHHAhaa!! I wish. I must open a new topic with pics and so ;-)

The next step would be try to program some in ASM, as I do with the Spectrum in Z80. I program better in ASM than in BASIC or C :o
