Hi,

Looks, great.

I was watching BBC Click, which they had an interview with Clive Sinclair.

This has appeared and is for you technical know hows.

Lots of chips, some out of focus pictures, some labeled Apple, a few 6502s I think, but there maybe something useful QL related.

I've sent a message to the seller asking for more clear images, so we shall see.

I don't see anything QL related there. There are lots of custom chips marked GI for Apple too, plus may other 80s machines.

Most of the stuff seems to be old Apple Image/LaserWriter junk (The "Adobe" ROMs hint to that). Nothing for a QL freak in there.

These two little surprises

and

only become suddenly interesting once you have read the whole of Tony Tebby's article (5 parts) in QL Today covering the myths around the release of the QL, the Qludge and the 10% selling of Sinclair Research. If you haven't read it you should.

This is a job lot of Mice with the serial connection 9 PIN D-TYPE, might be useful for some.

Those old microsoft mice are built like tanks and weigh a ton! Some had metal bases too.
