Am interested to see if anyone else has ever come across one of these???
From what I am told it maybe a Genuine test rig from the production factory.
When I had access to a QL it booted up and ran various keyboard, memory, IO and microdrive tests

Wow, certainly looks like it doesn't it. Be interesting to get a copy of the ROM data in it.

Holy moly, wonderful find!! That thing needs to be reverse-engineered and duplicated to save the legacy.

Thank you for posting the pictures passat20se - never having seen one of those jigs before, it was great to view the photos. Goes to show, a lot more of these historical items than we think may be about, somewhere!

Let me know. No guarantee it still works but it did 8 years ago!!
