I was just about to print out a few lists, and my little printing program wouldn't set up the printer properly, so I just swapped the QL. The screen just stays on with "Super Gold Card"at the top and the Minerva logo at the bottom, and doesn't progress from there. I've put an old Trump card in, as I need the disk interface, and that seems to be OK. I haven't the time at present to look into it further. I hadn't previously heard about the possible need to remove the 68008. I've six QL's of which three were fully working up the the recent fault. I obviously ned to put some repairs in hand! I wonder what would cause the Ser port to send wrong characters? Thanks for all the info.
