The Sinclair QL Forum

Any ideas what this unknown expansion card is? It killed my blue QL too!
It says ROM/RAM V1.3 and the serial number starts with RR

Please make a photo from the back side. Any chance to read the contain of the EPROM?

I'll photo the back when light tomorrow. I don't have eprom reading facilities sadly. This rare card is for sale/trade if anyone skilled fancies it?

Hi,

I copied alot of Eproms, which I am sure the RomRam Eprom was included.

But looking at the QL Wiki Hardware section, the board looks similiar to a Simplex Ram expansion.

Looks like a 256Kb RAM expansion + Rom toolkit (or any other utility in ROM).

When you say that it kill you blue QL, you means that not work with it conected or that your QL never worked again?

If you want to send it to me, I will have a look at it, I have many QLs so not a problem with possible breakage of the QL.

I do not seem to have that ROM image, I could copy the ROM if required for upload to QL Homepage.

Terrible, the "Death Card"!

This made me think how funny it would have been in the 80's if competitors created shell companies and sold death expansion cards. I'm mean funny in retrospect, not while it was happening.
