I think I'm after QL Software rather than hardware at the moment, there is a rather large gap with regard to commercial games / languages etc. BCPL by Metacomco for example. Spook, Pharaoh and many others. Sadly, I gave away an old PC a while back which would of been an ideal candidate for the QXL ! I still haven't gotten around to sending Rich my SGC & QL so he can marry the SGC ( tested as ok by Tony last year ) against a QL it'll work with ( & one with working microdrives! ). I really must do this soon before I loose interest in my black box QL. I've ordered a Compact Flash IDE adaptor off ebay ( £4 all in ) and armed with the Qubide mod that Mr P Fox recommends, I will see if I can make my Aurora HD' less by fitting a 512 or 1GB CF card.
