Hi all old QL-fellows :) I had a look in my daybook an read there, that at this time (january 1984) I just finished the hardware of my Interface to connect my ZX-81 to VC-1541 (Commodore-Floppy) - I had to desolder the ULA, etc... but it worked very fine :)
I was a very late QL-User and never used any Spectrum. But as I finally bought my first QL, the day after I bought 2 more QLs, as its networking and easy programming made me soo enthusiastic :)) 2 weeks later we had a BBS running on a QL for 2 years in our Club - there also where STs ans Amigas in this Club but nobody was able to run a Mailbox on them... Gérhard PS : If I remember well Clive Sinclair was not yet a "Sir" at this time - may be I am wrong... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > > Hi QL'ers > > Time is moving so fast those days! > > On January 12th 1984 (exactly 12 days earlier than Steve Jobs lauched the > Apple Macintosh) Sir Clive Sinclair presented the QL professional computer > to the world in a hollywood-style event at the Intercontinental Hotel, Hyde > Park Corner, London.
