Phew.
They are indeed standard QL motherboards, but put into PC cases by Felix
Fontayne. They all have Falkenburg keyboard interfaces, and Gold or
Supergoldcard and home-made backplanes. They were not even Qplane
(designed by Nasta) which was the least noisy (but still pretty bad). I
think they were all JS.
However all that is irrelevant, as Geoff has reproduced his problem.

I did not have time to even think about his problem on the day. From
what Geoff found, I am glad I didn't!
