That's a German tounge-in-cheek expression for FDM printers - They effectively work in nearly the same way as machines that make sausages ;) - And you know how we Germans like our sausages ;)

Hello everybody,
is possible to reserve a pair of QIMSI Gold cards (or at least one)?
The waiting time doesn't matter (I waited 3 years for the Spectrum Next, 2 years for the Flipper zero, 11 months for the Mega65, i can wait this one too)?
I don't have any Gold or Super Gold card on my QLs,
Thank you very much

Best regards

SP=Spanish ? I'm afraid we still don't have that language support for the accelerated CPU, if you use the QL membrane keyboard.
At the moment you'd need an external keyboard for Spanish, or use QIMSI Gold only as standard QIMSI.
I'm hopeful that Spanish will be added in the next months.

Hope you have fun anway! Lets us know how you like it!

Dear all,

unfortunately I have to close the QIMSI Gold waiting- / order list for the moment. Each single QIMSI Gold on my stock is reserved for a QL mate. What does this mean:

If you received an confirmation Email that you are in the list, you will receive an Email from my side with details about the order and shipment process, sooner or later. My stock covers this demand. Please be patient, the list is long and I do this in my spare time. (Mark P. you are included)

If you are currently not in the list, most likely my stock will not be enough to cover your demand. Depends on how many QL mates do no longer show interest or do not reply on my Emails. This means you have to wait for the next batch. I will announce here, whether there is a "left over" from the current batch and when do I expect to order a new batch. This will take time!

Thanks to everybody for your interest in QIMSI and QIMSI Gold, the demand is really astonishing.
Thanks also to Peter for all the fun we had so far in developing the QIMSI and QIMSI Gold and support the Community.

Best regards,

Stephan

When we take into account that the distribution happens forum-only, there is a limit to one device per person and zero advertising, the demand is indeed enormous. Without Derek and Stephan bringing my QL designs to the community, this would be impossible. I'm very thankful for the good teamwork on both Q68 and QIMSI Gold.

One thing surprises me though, which is the low amount of feedback. This could simply mean everybody ist happy. Fine then.
But it could also mean that many just collect the hardware. This worries me somewhat.
