Re: QIMSI Gold+ trump or gold card

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

Re: Protect QL Expansion Port Pins?

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!)

These arrived today (thanks for the link to them Ronan)

Now I just need to build up my confidence to take my soldering iron to the Schoen again!

Replacing MDV Ribbon Cable

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

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)
