Apart from the QL itself I do have an A4 folder entitled Sinclair QL
User Guide, two books by Robin Bradbeer namely 'Making The Most Of
The Sinclair QL' and 'Introducing The Sinclair QL', 'The Sinclair QL
Companion' by Boris Allen, 'QL SuperBasic' by Jan Jones and another
folder which seems to contain a photocopied version of 'Professional
and Business Uses of the QL' by Colin Lewis. There is a power supply
and two packs of the software supplied (Quill, Abacus, Archive and
Easel' although I can only find one and a half sets of the
microdrives to put in them. Fortunately there is at least one copy
of each of the four programs. Other microdrives have names:
TLW Master
TX Copy Spectrum Cloner
Spec Mdoctor
Locksmith
Editor 1
Datagenie
There is a black object measuring 7x3.5x2 cm with the wording
'Supertoolkit' and 'Care Electronics. Is that meant to fit in the
'ROM' socket at the back?
There is a "QL TRUMP CARD 768K' by Miracle Systems but I have no
cables to attach that to anything as far as I can see.
There is another 'thingy' about the same size as the above 'TRUMP...'
which has the lettering 'PCML Q+ DISK' but again no way to attach it.
No other cables came with it and I have yet to even power it up. I'm
wondering what TV or monitor to use but will probably go the slightly
unusual route and use the screen of my Apple iMac. I have a
digitiser for that which can accept all varieties of TV, VCR,
camcorder etc. inputs and it could be amusing to have the QL appear
in a window there.
OK, that's it for now and again many thanks for the enthusiastic
welcome...anyone would think you were desperate :):):)
Regards
Paul
