Yeah I do too, looks smart. IIRC this was working when it went into the box, but I may well pull it all apart and give the modules the once over, since they all stack

Re: Stuff and Things.
Yeah, they are pretty cool, might ask over on the QL forum, see if anyone can provide me with the software. I did have, but the microdrive cartridge self destructed as usual!stephen_usher wrote: ↑Tue Dec 07, 2021 2:02 pm I always thought those stackable, modular modem units were spiffing.

Re: Stuff and Things.
Oh no it's started
Thought you might like to buy one of these @rubber_jonnie to add to your growing bare board collection that you have with the Aquarius. You might want to build this for the QL

Re: Stuff and Things.
No, it's one of the replicas by Tetroid, currently languishing in a postal gulag in Novosibirsk, so I am not expecting it before Christmas. I did bid on a Super Gold Card, but the price went a bit high, so I decided a Gold card replica would be enough, and a lot cheaper too.Icky wrote: ↑Tue Dec 07, 2021 3:47 pmIs that an original Gold Card or the clone?

Re: Stuff and Things.
The Epyx Fastload arrived today for the C64, and I've just tested it. Aside from being a bit of a snug fit in the cart socket, it works nicely with the SD2IEC I have, so pretty happy with the result for the price.

Re: Stuff and Things.
BTW @Icky I have been in touch with the guy who had the Aquarius 2 and the Kenbak who we talked to at the show.
I now have the Aquarius ROMs, but what I don't have are the PLAs, so I think I'll have to find a donor machine.
One of the PLAs is nearly recreated, the other not so much. That's going to slow the project down a bit!!

Re: Stuff and Things.
They most certainly are not, and given they were over in the UK for some time, not so easy to find. I need to have one though, it was one of the machines I actually did some machine language on the one I had. Kinda wish I still had itIcky wrote: ↑Tue Dec 07, 2021 9:17 pmMore hunting.
