Last night I was going through my old QL floppies trying to recover and refresh
the data. Well, you have to every 25 years or so I imagine.
Using a combination of the two floppy drives and perseverance I managed to

Great Marcel.
This will make it easy to introduce the QL to new people.
Congratulations on the new arrival.

You could also simply try
cat /dev/fd0 imagefile.img
and try to read the image file, for example, with SMSQmulator (shameless

That was the sort of thing I was thinking of doing, though probably using dd

Hi,
That was the sort of thing I was thinking of doing, though probably
using dd instead of cat.
Should work just as well.

Steve,
if the heat is a problem on your setup, there are drop-in replacement switching
mode regulators for the 7805 that can significantly reduce the oamount of heat
dissipation. I used to have a super-Q-board that became so hot I ran into
problems in summer - dropped in such a regulator and
Great news on both accounts! Congratulations Marcel, and thank you! Best

There is that. Our future designs will either use a high efficiency, low
heat device or they will have an ultra-high-efficiency buck regulator on
them (96% efficient) in cases where the device is more complex and
justifies the small extra cost.
We're learned a lot, and there's much better voltage

I'll check when I get home, but I think that it's yellow.

Hmm, I just remind SQBs with a 7805 voltage regulator. Even my latest Mouse
version had it.

The SQB with QIMI mouse and 7805 was version 2, I seem to recall. On
version 3, we went to a switching supply, which we positioned behind the
floppy interface outside the case.

I means I made it. There were also some with pale blue. I had a pack of
stickers I would stick on the heatsink aluminium to show they were ok and
tested.

You can drill out the rivet very easily. 7805s never go wrong unless heat
damaged, and that doesn't happen until long after the solder melts and the
PCB catches fire ;)
