The Sinclair QL Forum

Hello all,

I just would like to post a link to an ebay action where a QL ISA-PC Card was sold!
Wow,this looks to be a very rare QL Card! I unfortunately can not afford things like this.
Does anyone knows more about the technics of this card and how it works on the
software side? I do not see any ROM on the card,is this loaded on the card from the PC side ?
Just curious about it.

It's a shame that the link no longer seems to work for some reason.

In any case, I presume it is a QXL card, which was an early form of hardware emulator - it loaded SMSQ from the PC disk and used the PC peripherals for i/o.

The QXL was based around the 68040 chip - I am still trying to persuade Derek Stewart to get his EPROM programmer out so that he can finish off some of these.

Perhaps the item you mean is http://cgi.ebay.es/130535429788?ru=http ... 3D1&_rdc=1.

Well not knowing anything about the QXL card, the site description includes

This is a Sinclair QL Tower with a Sinclair QL Card with Motorola CPU+FPU
This is one of the fastest QL devices ever made
This is not an Emulater

Interesting
