The Sinclair QL Forum

That is well over-priced - love how it's described as lots of software, but basically looks to be the Psion software and some cartridges with BASIC on it.

I always have reasonably priced QLs available - just have no time to test and list them on SellMyRetro !!

As for the D16 - all it means is that the case is later - you need to see the motherboard issue number really, as it could be any motherboard issue up to issue 7 inside (!)

Also seen on EBay, a QXL card, just the thing for those lonely nights with no QL and only an old PC for company

Aren't the D16s the ones with reliable microdrives?

It all depends - after 30 years, most QLs have had work done on them, be it replacing chips, the motherboard, or the microdrive units - it all depends whether this still has the original components.

Issue 7 motherboards were probably the most reliable and normally paired up with a good set of microdrive units.

By way of example, I have a QL here which is (I think) a D12 with JS ROMs in it - its warranty sticker is still intact and it is fully functional (except for a little bit of flare on the F1/F2 screen) - its microdrive units are on a par with those which were in my Dongled QL and format microdrive cartridges up to around 224 sectors without problem.

Now up to an incredible £215

No doubt, it can go for GPB 450 or so.

Wow! There is a massive demand for QL add-ons but the scene just isn't there to supply them at the moment

Yes, the demand seems to be high. The "new hope" for hardware developments is called Dave and hopefully also Nasta ... if these two guys work together I think they will come out with some really interesting stuff ...

How much you guys think that's worth

It has a schon keyboard and might have other mods so probably more than normal.
