SyntaxBomb - Indie Coders

@Steve Elliott I didnt know that Sinclair QL had 256x256 and 8 colors.

If it had 256x256 and 8 colors. I assume they can be bright as well? This would of been better than the standard Speecy? i would of thought?

I have no manuals for it either. I thought the CPU was 68000 and 16 bit?

This is a CPU on my todo list.

Kind Regards Baggey

The CPU is a 68008 and it has 32 bit registers, but only an 8 bit data bus.
You can find pdf manuals for the QL on archive.org.

My Sinclair QL came boxed with nothing missing.

Here is my Sincair QL in all her glory.

She's been recapped and some Ram chips have been repaired. She works but i haven't really taken her for a spin or done anything else with her. I believe she's Pretty rare!



Kind Regards Baggey

Looks like someone has done a custom keyboard mod to it.
And it wouldn't surprise me if they changed the micro drives for SD versions.

I belive its a schom Keyboard. The microdrives are defo Sinclair.

I have seen the vDRIVES. I wouldn't mind a good pair   https://vdrivezx.com/vdriveql/

Im not sure wether or not id get any decent use out of it to warrant the spend!?

I think its a nice looking computer but the OS that came with it on a split screen WELL? Not quite sure what Clive was thinking about at the time?

Shame it didnt have an OS like the Speccy, CPC464 or the C64 though. I wonder if anyone back in the day made a replacement OS for it?
