Thanks for the update, Peter. I really hope QL-SD makes it to market. I also
hope someone will be able to write software to make it easy to transfer
files between QL and non-QL media. Out of interest, what media format is the
finished QL-SD likely to use - QXL.WIN, Qubide......?
Glad to hear interest is picking up a little in Germany. We know that a
number of new users have joined QL Forum from many countries, making the
total of 187 members there alone.

Hi,
just my opinion as a QUANTA member. I'd like to join a "QL is 30"
celebration. I personally would prefer this very special event QL
specific and not mixed with a general Sinclair meeting. One last time I
hope we can all get up and make it a big one! :-D
I've done further work for the QL-SD interface and even wrote a
preliminary manual. The QL-SD runs nicely here with the GoldCard as well
as a 512K expansion standard QL. As far as I can see, it can be
considered a finished product. Someone is seriously looking into
building it now, and this time I see a good chance.
The QL-SD might be the best storage devices QL ever had, and it even
fits into the original case. If we give up celebrating the QL, the very
year of this major innovation, wouldn't it be ironic?
Here in Germany interest in the QL seems growing. Unexpected for me,
we'll spontaneously meet with 5 persons in November and a larger meeting
next year. Hard to imagine that England as the QL home country can not
attract a decent number of visitors for the QL 30st anniversary.
All the best
Peter
