Re: [Ql-Users] QL-SD order page
Hi, So Marcel has become a hardware manufacturer... And yes, also thanks to Wolfgang for writing the first driver! Without it I would probably not have done what I did. Whilst I may have had the original idea and written the original driver (adapted from the Q68 SDHC driver), the driver as it stands now is practically entirely Marcel's work, so all the kudos goes to him!

Re: [Ql-Users] QL-SD order page
Thanks everybody, it will take me a while to process all the orders that came in so far! :-o Fairly recently I have decided that I will populate the upper SPI port to allow to connect possible future expansions without any additional soldering. Problem is, I've run out of connectors... so I've ordered more, but they will take two or three work days to get here from the US, which means the next boards will probably ship Thursday at the earliest. All boards also now come with a free plastic chip prying tool to prevent the QL from taking some screw-driver related damage. Thanks to Tobias for testing the new version and the subsequent glowing review :-) I have invested a LOT of time into making this thing as perfect as possible and I'm glad that it shows. And yes, also thanks to Wolfgang for writing the first driver! Without it I would probably not have done what I did. Cheers, Marcel ___ QL-Users Mailing List

And some more shameless advertising, because I forgot and the product is worth it: That combination works flawlessly with GC SMSQ/E.

Re: [Ql-Users] QL-SD order page
Just a short note on my experiences with some (old) QL-SDs that were updated with Marcel's PLD and new drivers plus a dual-slot card that I have been using for some time now: While the original PLD/Driver combination has always been a bit, say, capricious, after the upgrade everything has been working just flawlessly. QLSD is entirely transparent and just works now, I have never had the slightest issue with it, and the possibility to exchange QLWA images with QPC2 and Q68 is really a joy to use. The card change detection makes usage much simpler, you can change SD cards like floppy disks now. I have been using this setup now for a while in a SuperGold Card and a Gold Card QL, and both work absolutely flawlessly. Be aware, however, that the double-drive SD card holder fills the available space in the microdrive slot completely - It needs a bit of patient fiddling to get the case to fit properly around it, especially in my Samsung-made QLs that have SuperHermes fitted - Here space is really tight, but with a bit of patient persuasion everything fits nicely. All in all, an absolute recommendation. I have been using my QLs much more frequently during the last weeks, as they are pure joy to use now. Thanks Marcel and Wolfgang!

Thanks Marcel - it will also be worth listing some on sellmyretro - as there are a few people who have been looking for these to go with their Gold Card clones :) Rich Mellor RWAP Software www.rwapsoftware.co.uk www.sellmyretro.com On 2018-08-31 19:23, Marcel Kilgus via Ql-Users wrote: Hi everyone.
