I think I have a copy of Cartridge Doctor - not sure if it works. I also have a boxed version of the original QL Macro Assembler on microdrive. May have some other stuff too - I will have to look. Oh and I have a sealed pack of four new microdrives - any offers? -- Roy Wood Q Branch. 20 Locks

Hi, If anyone has an image of a file off the Cartridge Doctor ( Talent ) called 'doctor' then if I can persuade them to send me an image Id be grateful. Once obtained, I can use it to sort out some of my other dead and dying microdrives. Thankyou. Neil **
