insurmountable ones, but it had that kind of "Wow Factor" about it.
Most won't care whether the data runs through the microdrive cables/driver
or not. In addition to the speed issue, internal microdrive cables are
hard to plug in.
... not if you solder a SIL turned pin strip (cut from a DIL socket)
into the mdv tails. That was a trick I used from my early QL repairs in
the 80s. I really don't know why Thorn-EMI did not do that.
