That's the only one I've seen; I used to have one of those with the red keys many years ago.

They usually required a 'de-bounce' second processor, which helped with keyboard bounce but IIRC knackered serial ports or some such problem. Plus, as I think Rich said, where you plugged the Schon keyboard leads into the keyboard connectors on the QL board, it opened up the springs a bit, to the extent that if you tried to go back to the original QL keyboard membranes, you couldn't get a good contact as the membrane tails were not as thick as the Schon wires.

I like the Medic interface cases, I've only ever seen the uncased Medic expansion boards. The cases match the QL well, makes for a very nice appearance QL system. Does that Medic board have a parallel interface as well as disk connector?

Yes, there is parallel printer connector.
And two connectors inside for an expansion daughterboard (e.g. winchester).

But the material of the Medic case is much worse than the one of the QL case, and cracks easily.

One of the pictures shows a startup screen where there is a ROM message where it says Medic Disc Upgrade v1.18a. Is this a Medic upgrade, or a Tony Tebby one (QFLP?)
Fascinating, first time I've seen a full Medic cased system like this.
