That JSU ROM will trip you up. I realize in the 80s/90s/00s without it the QL would have been unusable in the US without a monitor. Now thought, with so many easy options to get a VGA or HDMI signal, and with any decent LCD TV that supports analog being able to handle the PAL signal, it's a pain when a chunk of the bottom of the screen gets cut off in TV mode.

I have put in an offer on this. Let's see what they say...

It does have a very nice printer with it. The keyboard looks non-shiny so very unused. Looks like it may have died, or the TV just is too new to work with it. Who knows?

He accepted my first offer of $275 for the QL, printer and software. Nice. This solves a problem for me as my US QL here has weird timing issues.

That's an excellent price for a US QL. Nicely done. Funny, I have a parallel interface for my QL but it's in a much more slimline package looking just like a DB25 connector. I guess Miracle Systems must have created those later on.

Btw, what is Nucleon. Seems to have some cool software packages like Compact Draw (which generates BASIC from the resulting figure drawn?) and Maestro (a sound generator without hardware?).

Miracle Parallel Interface - there were three versions at various times (four if you include the later TF Services version): https://qlwiki.theqlforum.com/doku.php? ... _interface
I've had all three Miracle versions at some stage or other.

I misremembered, I have the one with the silver cover with the centronics connector (not DB25). It's tucked away somewhere since I don't presently have a use for parallel.
