Hi Norman, You are probably aware (or maybe not) that Quanta collects and stores such unwanted equipment in order to help those in need of spares or upgrades to their machines. I have (together with Rich Mellor) become the repository for such equipment and if you would like me to arrange collection from you, please indicate which area of the country you are in so that I can arrange a trip. Other list users please note this message and pass on all your unwanted QL bits and pieces OR contact me (or Rich Mellor) if you are looking for something specific - Hardware or Software. Sorry for advertising on the list. Perhaps you will forgive me this once.

[ql-users] Free to a good home
I have (approximately) the following kit for anyone to have for free - well, if you can collect (or pay postage) that is. 2 QLs (standard) - they are old (JS) and have the obligitory membrane problems. Power supplies and cables are available. Not sure about the network leads though - I can check. 1 QL with Gold Card fitted. As far as I remember, it is working ok. 1 pair 3.2 Mb drives plus 10 (I think) blank (never used) 3.2.Mb floppies. 1 pair 720 Kb drives (Or it could be 1.44 !). (At least, I think I have these !) 1 Phillips (?) colour monitor with cable to work off a standard QL. Was working when I put it in the loft. I think it's a VGA monitor so it might be of use on a PC (granted, an old one !) I think I might have some mdv cartridges as well - I'm not 100% sure. I know I have DJToolkit on a ROM but I might also have other stuff on ROM as well. I used to have Metacomco C, Pascal and the Assembler. As I say, there's a lot of stuff in boxes Hundreds of used and new floppy discs. Mostly an old copy of the Quanta library before I was 'sacked' (in the nicest possible way) when there was a massive re-organisation of the library. These will be re-formatted before I send them out (or throw them out - but I'd rather recycle them as they are mostly used once.) There might be more stuff, but it's in a box and/or in the loft. Reasons for 'sale' - I'm moving the office (for my day job) from one large room to one small room - my wife wants to use the big room as a second bedroom for some reason - so I need the space. These QLs have not been used for about 5 years as I have QPC (on a stick) which is just so utterly brilliant, I never need to fire up the trusty originals. Thanks Marcel. It would be best for someone to collect this stuff as geting to a Post Office is quite difficult these days since most of ours have been shut down recently :o( If anyone wants this stuff and feels 'bad' about getting it for free, make a donation to a decent charity and clear out your guilty conscience.
