Hmmm, thats an interesting idea. I shall recap..... and get my GC/SGC's the right way around.
One QL has good Microdrives ( we'll call it QL A) One QL has knackered Microdrives ( we'll call it QL B) Both QL's work on their own. Both QL's work with my Trump 2 card Both QL's don't work with my SGC QL A doesn't work with my GC QL B works with my GC 68008 have been removed from both QL's when attempting GC & SGC Both QL's tested using two power supplies Both QL's have JS roms SGC & QL B will be sent back to R.M. who hopefully will supply me with QL C which works with SGC. If you've been paying attention you'll be saying 'Aha, but there's no guarantee that QL C will work with GC as this only works with QL B thats been ditched', and you'd be right but one my SGC works I will be selling GC. btw, my Aurora works like a dream, if only you could attach microdrives !!

GC worked in your machine, QL vaguely worked by itself, > but plug GC in it died. Ah yes - so I did. It was with another JS I think. Odd that, as the QL was working fine until GC was plugged in. It is the first time I have come across something like that. Neil - it is worth trying the ROM from the working machine in the non-working one with GC.
