That FLP2 is clearly marked as 5v version both on the case and PCB

Not a particularly rare game, but been wanting this CIB for my games collection

I have a rather naive question Can I use the QISMI Gold together with trump or Gold card?

Michael

Yes, but only as a standard QIMSI (in QIMSI gold mode it only uses power, keyboard & joystick ports of the QL)

JM/JS/Minerva are all fine with Trump or gold card + QIMSI standard mode

Hi. Yes a female right angle (to fit QL expansion port) and 2 straight male (to plug in QL expansion boards upright) please

Many thanks

I'm struggling to find the 41612 connectors that are compatible with the QL and expansion cards

Most of the ones I find are listed as 64 pin but seem to have 96 holes (for the female) and males have the 64 pins spaced for 96 pins so I don't think they'll fit (at least that's how it looks to me!)

I have several untested spare ones, if you get really stuck I can send one over for you to try (can hopefully test it before sending)

Thanks Popopo, that’s given me some food for thought

I was wondering if, before I start, anyone has any tips for replacing a ribbon cable on an MDV drive please?

I have a fully working MDV (reads/writes/formats), so don't want to lose it, where the lower ribbon cable has partially broken away from the MDV PCB

Putting aside my lack of soldering ...

If yes, that's a reasonable price (compared to the ones that were paid some 5 years ago)

I nearly bought it myself as a spare, but decided against it. It’s much better to go somewhere it will get used (hopefully)
