The Sinclair QL Forum

Going through a listing of QL software from an Italian BBS back from the 1990s (yes, I do things like that!) I came across a description of a program to load a different ROM image for a Gold Card.

QLDR31.ZIP 6263 23/11-94 Allows for Gold Card users to use a operating system than that of the Rom, by loading it from disk (eg. JM instead of Minerva)

I think this must be an Italian program because it doesn't seem to appear on BBS listings from other countries at the time.

This program would be great for me to use to test software on different ROM versions. Anyone happen to have a copy?

Sorry Dilwyn, no.

Cheers,
Norm.

Hi Dilwyn,

If the file was distributed by FidoNET then I may have a copy on my old BBS setup.

I will have a look and get back to you.

Thanks Derek, that'll be great. The QItaly BBS listing says "Fidonet 2: 331/123A" at the top, so there is a good chance.

If you still have a copy of the BBS files, any chance you could pop a copy onto CD (or online somewhere for me to download) for me - it would help Simone and I a lot with preserving all this old QL PD software, some of which has got lost in the mists of time.
