If you guys are interested in the membranes, please drop me a line too, at
QL(at)retrocomputing.eu.com, or ,
QL(at)retrocomputing.gr
in order to make a list and keep you updated with the venture. I already have already contacted 30+ membrane manufacturers worldwide and keep on searching, and waiting for replies and price quotations. I guess that It will be a slow process, but it will have a happy end :-))
Cheers!
I hope that we can resolve this fairly quickly - of course, before making a decision to order some new membranes, we need an idea of cost per unit and also the anticipated cost and sale price of Dave's new QeyBoard, so that the various QL traders who would be willing to contribute to the costs and sell these membranes, can weigh up whether users will stick with the original membrane or should be steered towards the Qeyboard.
At the moment, there are only 14 membranes requested on my guestbook, so maybe the interest in a new batch of membranes isn't there after all (hint hint to those who have not left any messages).
I think that ordering more than 200 membranes would be pointless, and so we need an idea of the minimum order requirements. Maybe Tony's idea of adding it to a Spectrum membrane order may help in this regard....
