Re: Pascal Dongle

OK, I've tested the QL and I'm very happy to say that it works fine.

The Pascal dongle also works OK (doesn't report "Bad ROM" or stop the QL from booting) and the "ROM" command reports that it is Pascal version 1.8.

Are there enough of these things floating around that nobody needs to make a copy ...

Re: Minerva MKI ROM

These ones?

It's not you selling them is it? :)

Re: Minerva MKI ROM

No, I have no upgrades at all so far.

I've seen a Super Gold Card on SellMyRetro but it's a little out of my price range.

I'm guessing that the availability of memory and disk expansion cards it limited to old hardware that pops up? There's nothing new being developed is there?

Minerva MKI ROM

Dear All,

My QL apparently has a "JS" ROM fitted. I was considering an upgrade to the Minerva MK I ROM from www.sellmyretro.com in order to make the QL more stable, faster etc

However, as I have a 128K QL is there any point in upgrading to Minerva? Will it reduce the amount of available RAM I ...

Hello from Surrey

Hi All,

I've just become the proud owner of the usual original (i.e. not upgraded/not QXL etc) black box style QL. It arrived yesterday but I haven't had a chance to check it works. Hopefully that's a job for this weekend.

I was a 16k Spectrum owner who upgraded (to 48k) and then went heavy on the ...
