My backup QL is a JM rom machine with Gold Card, which work well together, though I don't know what the Gold Card version is (it's in the attic at the moment). As Tony inferred, it may well be evrsion dependent. It's not a modified QL in any way, is it (thinking specifically of power/regulator mods). Some Miracle products (e.g. Trump Card) needed quite a surge of power at startup, settling down after a short while. I remember this being an issue with the Sandy QPower regulator, for example. -- Dilwyn Jones
