Typical Dil!! I think he probably has EVERYTHING that ever came out for a
QL buried somewhere in that house. I remember shortly before he got married
last year, his then fiancee, Christine, made him "clear up" the house -
this consisted of removing the 9 million PC magazines he had hoarded in the
attic, and chucking out a lot of his old QL hardware - box fulls of it -
nearly broke his heart I think. The box room was his old DJC office and its
still floor to ceiling with floppies - both 3.5" and 5.25" ones! I took a
lot of his old hardware, if only to preserve this stuff for the future, and
to prevent it going in a skip, as a lot of it I had never ever heard of.
Various expansions, a Q-Control, A Maurice QV4000 QL Speech Synthesizer, a
QubIDE, Cumana Drives, Expanderams, ICE mice, a QL barcode reader (which
dominic morris bought to see if he would get it to work with a Z88!) and
loads of other bits inc. just about every piece of QL software ever to see
the light of day.
Cheers,
Darren.
