Greeting from Pedro Reina

Hi all.

I'm Pedro Reina, 54, from Spain. My first and second computers were Sinclair QL. About ten years of hard use; I brought lots of expansions, software and magazines. I see in this forum friends from that time.

Then I brought standard PC hardware and since about 1996 I'm a free software advocate and use mainly Linux.

A few weeks ago a sold my QL hardware and QL magazines so a few retro computers lovers can enjoy the Sinclair QL I had in a closet.

But now I've instaled an emulator on my Linux box and I would like to refresh some of my memories. ¡Good times that with my QLs!

My bigger interest is in programming. Still in my website there is software I wrote for the Sinclair QL: applications and framework.

Welcome, Pedro!

I like the red racing stripes on the QL manual in your pictures - Did Investronica add those?

Yes, they did. Spanish touch, may be?

Love the look of that QL manual (I agree)

Would be interesting to know what was on those ROM cartridges - one is a version of QLC, but the other.... Maybe the person who purchased the stuff could do a dump of the ROM contents...

I have seen your software as well - some more to be added to the Sinclair QL Homepage if you don't mind

I'm afraid of copyright issues, but if you think it's OK, I could ask him to do the dump.

Any clue what can be in that ROM?

Copyright is a problem, but we are storing them for the QL preservation project - who is the buyer if you don't mind saying (pm me).... If necessary I would be willing to purchase the two ROM carts from the buyer.

Was there no manual or anything? Certainly I have never heard of hte QLC implementation.

I'm quite sure that the buyer don't want to sell that ROMs, sorry.

Yes, the QL-C ROM has a manual. May be from Metacomco, not sure, 'cause I sold the manual too.

The JF one is a mistery to me in this moment.
