And some more shameless advertising, because I forgot and the product is worth 
it:

That combination works flawlessly with GC SMSQ/E.

Just a short note on my experiences with some (old) QL-SDs that were updated 
with Marcel's PLD and new drivers plus a dual-slot card that I have been using 
for some time now:

While the original PLD/Driver combination has always been a bit, say, 
capricious, after the upgrade everything has been working just flawlessly. QLSD 
is entirely transparent and just works now, I have never had the slightest 
issue with it, and the possibility to exchange QLWA images with QPC2 and Q68 is 
really a joy to use. The card change detection makes usage much simpler, you 
can change SD cards like floppy disks now.

I have been using this setup now for a while in a SuperGold Card and a Gold 
Card QL, and both work absolutely flawlessly. Be aware, however, that the 
double-drive SD card holder fills the available space in the microdrive slot 
completely - It needs a bit of patient fiddling to get the case to fit properly 
around it, especially in my Samsung-made QLs that have SuperHermes fitted - 
Here space is really tight, but with a bit of patient persuasion everything 
fits nicely.

All in all, an absolute recommendation. I have been using my QLs much more 
frequently during the last weeks, as they are pure joy to use now.

Thanks Marcel and Wolfgang!
Tobias

Judging from all the reactions I got so far I expect demand to surpass
supply anyway, but if not I will certainly do that.

Cheers, Marcel

Thanks Marcel - it will also be worth listing some on sellmyretro - as 
there are a few people who have been looking for these to go with their 
Gold Card clones :)

[Ql-Users] Summer is over, QL time approaching...

2018-08-31 Thread Urs Koenig (QL) via Ql-Users
Hi folks,

last day of summer 2018, a summer where I experienced so much. One if not
the greatest summer I ever had.

After I turned 50 just days before the summer started, I inhaled my
once-in-a-lifetime 5 weeks US road trip.

Normally summertime is a QL free time for me and many other QL folks. But
this summer was different.

The US is considered widely as a QL free zone, but in the end I had some of
the best meetings with QLers ever. See Highlights on my blog (Google+).

Before the trip I edited and published the story of MIRACLE SYSTEMS/Stuart
Honeyball based on video material of the Italian QL enthusiasts (YouTube),
scanned and published all those unique ultra-rare Sinclair-papers which I
wanted to scan for years, plus was finally reading all those unique EPROMs
from Sinclair Research and published their content (sinclairql.net).

During the trip I did release the long lost PM ROM (sinclairql.net).

After the trip I was telling the story of the last remaining early D03 build
standard QL with PM (EP)ROM as an unboxing video (YouTube).

Finally I was able to spend a full day plus some extra hours here and there
on QL/E and was able to release v3.18 (Edition 1808, Codename "Eternity",
last updated 12.08.2018) on the very same day Linus Torvalds released Linux
kernel v4.18. It is pure coincidence that both software reached sub-version
18 the same day.

Those were just my personal QL highlights, there were much more QL
highlights such as the releases of PAWN, QL_SD WIN driver, QD2018 and QL-SD
hardware to just name a few.

Tomorrow autumn starts and I hope all of us will find some quality time for
QL tinkering.

In this sense, QL forever!

Great news! Appreciate! 

Would be great to see more software available in French and Italian beside
English and German.
