The Sinclair QL Forum

During the previous lockdown I got a JustSpeccy 128 off Rob (to go with my fleet of speccies) Anyway I've been collecting some war and strategy games to go with it. Ancient Battles is my favourite so far.

I also got a 6a speccy board, and a 48k+ case. I'm hoping to make a low power speccy with most of the chips replaced for modern ones. Currently desoldering all the ram chips ready for sockets.

If you want a low power speccy - the Harlequin boards are good option

Ah! I already have the justspeccy as my fancy modern one, so I wanted a special normal speccy too

So obviously the first thing I did was port sQLux

But of course, you had to make the thing useful after all!

Most likely the PSU. The caps go in them, as do the opto isolators. Exxos have a recapping kit available.

Yesterday I received:
Really top notch production quality from the images to the materials used - full of games reviews, articles about Acorn , interviews with developers etc.

That made the news as it was stuck in a shipping container for ages

Yeah, the emails were coming in regularly as to where the books were at any point in time, down to how far from the coast the ship was moored!

On Saint Andrew's day I have received ... 9 puppies
