QL-SD Fitted

[tofro]

.... Currently it's running with a german keymap so I need to work out how to change that. ....

That's loaded with Paul's standard boot program on sdc1_ Just remove the line that LRESPRs keyboard_german and you're done (or buy a proper keyboard ).

Hehe I did that with help from XorA. I've never had enough storage to use a boot file, so it was alien to me!

[XorA]

BTW any chance of the software being released so we can make images and load them with software from out emulators?

[XorA]

XorA - you have a PM - yes, it is standard RAM chips (41256P-15) - although I may have spotted the problem - half the chips are MB81256-15 (no real difference), but two are MB81257-15 ....

Arrived this morning and debugged, it was one of the MB81256-15 chips that had failed.

Will have to build a machine with fixed expanderram + QL-SD tonight!

Great - glad to hear it is back up and running.

What's the going rate on 512K expansions? I priced out that I could make one with a certain cost, but it seems risky to me to make 20 or so if the possible gain is £100 but the possible loss is £600. If the market will bear the cost of a short run, I'd do them if they would actually find homes fairly quickly.

[RWAP]

I can't comment on the going rate - I tend to sell second hand ones for £35 each if they have a through connector....

[Dave]

Okay. Seems reasonable then that a superior brand new one with thru-con - or internal leaving the expansion port free - could sell for £40 then.

I'll give it some serious thought this evening and discuss it with Nasta.
