Re: German QL power supply with switch – dimensional sketch.

Hello

I’ve started with modeling and this is the result:

This is only the start, top and bottom housing, actually the outline. I started with normal PSU housing which was then adapted to bigger version. This was possible pretty accurate, thanks to ...

Re: Should I trust the original QL power brick?

Hello

I don’t know if this is of any help, but fey months ago I started a QL, which was dormant for 36 years with it’s original PSU. Of course, before that I checked the voltages and everything was normal (yes, I heard a lot of horror stories about old Commodore C64 power units), and is working ...

Re: Archiving data off QL MD to PC

I think “out of the box” solution is the transfer via serial port, and even here there will probably be some costs for purchasing appropriate cable. Second possible solution is purchasing some device for QL which uses SD cards as, let say hard disc storage replacement. There are more of those ...

Re: QIMSI

Hello.


Thank you all for your responses, it’s really valuable to me. I’m convinced now, that the trouble is with unzipping the zip files (I downloaded the Psion archive from Dilwyn’s web page). I just unzipped it in windows and then copied them to WIN container on the SD card.

I’ll try it again ...
