Well, we’re back from the Computerfest! It was a long way to go but it was certainly worth it to meet a lot of you face to face. We hope next year to see even more of you. For those of you who were unable to attend, sit back and relax and we’ll tell you all about it here.
We were pleased to announce at the show the TRUMP CARD by Miracle Systems. This is going to be avery nice peripheral add-on for your QL. It consists of a disk interface and a full three-quarter megabyte RAM card, all ona single board. With this installed you end up with an 896k system. Also included is a print spooler, ramdisk software(both dynamic and static), and TOOLKIT II. Also included is a reset function which fools your QL into thinking it is an unexpanded machine. Some programs, as most of us know, like QL CHESS will not run on expanded QL‘s without modification. The disk interface will support upto two 3 1/2″ or 5 1/4″ floppy drives. Although, due to the huge amount of memory available, one drive should be sufficient if you utilize the ramdisk options.
