The Sinclair QL Forum

Over the £2m mark and they've said they'll honour all the stretch goals now, even the ones at 2.5 and 3.0. Just over 2 days before it ends.

Anyway, they've hinted that this is the last production run, so if you want one...

the Next's Symbol-Shift key and the numeric keys to more readily generate the FN keys - which I'll test this weekend.

Yeah, I did wonder if anyone would want it for that. Also PCs of that era are very popular with the retro gaming crowd and fetch silly prices on eBay (when in good condition). I thought maybe somebody would want it who could do the required clean up/repairs and get Win9x on it for gaming - which ...

Remarkably, somebody wanted it (not from this forum, you lot have more sense ). It's gone now.

In the meantime, I've managed to extract the data from one of the hard drives but the second is proving more tricksy.
