Hi Dave!
I LOVE your initiative here - if there is anything I can do to assist in developing/testing your improved MDV headboard design, please let me know.
I may have a couple of spare MDV units and I also have a couple of NoS MDV ULAs, ready to replace failed units.
If it proves easier, I have ...

Re: Q68 on QL Network
Hi Derek
I have not yet gotten around to explore running my gorgeous QIMSI Gold with the NW - another item on my To-do list!
If @Peter is reading this, I do have a question regarding how QIMSI Gold compares to the Q68/QZero in terms of memory access contention when running tight software loops ...

Re: Q68 on QL Network
Hi Derek!
In principle, all the NET drivers released across the various QL platforms/expansion cards follow the exact same standard, so the very slight difference in the GoldCard NET driver caught me out when testing the QLUB firmware. Usually, it shouldn't be an issue and even in Dilwyn's case ...

Re: Q68 on QL Network
Hiya Dilwyn!
Great to hear that you're exploring the Network again!
I'm sure between us we can get you running across all your networked deices :-)
You are right that there are no real documents provided with the ND-Q68 driver, aside from the description I added to the original post on this Forum ...

Can Aurora be safely powered from just 5v?
Hello friends!
I was lucky enough to pick-up an Aurora and backplane a few months ago and intended to replace my hacked Iss5 QL board in a PC case with the Aurora plus SGC.
Before I re-model the PC case (which also has a PC mobo plus a QXL fitted simultaneously) to accept the Aurora+SGC, I wanted ...
