A while ago Rich was selling one. http://www.sellmyretro.com/offer/details/Extremely-RARE-Early-Dongle- Sinclair-QL-Home-Computer---BOXED-1367 The PM dongle was listed in the "What else is included" section EXTREMELY RARE QL PM EPROM Chip (8000h) - this is out of a very early KLUDGE - unfortunately, the other two EPROMs and/or the code stored on them have not been found. This is the PM version of QDOS - the earliest release version of QDOS we know of which escaped the doors of Sinclair Research was the later FB EPROM, which contained at least one oddity - the AT command was AT column,line (instead of AT line,column) which forced Psion to write a boot file for their programs which would swap between the two variants depending on your ROM version! It shows how rare the FB ROM was that no-one else had to bother! Regards John _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
