I remember a guy at school in the 90s talking about the QL. He said it had a 32 bit operating system, but if you turned it upside down, the keys fell out.

- forinti 2y agoIt's a shame Sinclair didn't realise the QL was the moment he should have started being a bit less aggressive on the penny pinching.
- rbanffy 2y agoOne small change, a 68000, 1 extra ROM and 8 more RAM chips would have made all the difference. Could also use 4-bit memory chips to save space. I'd have done that and ditched one microdrive.
- rbanffy 2y agoSuch a shame. The QL would look modern today. Replace the two microdrives with SD card slots and the rear ports with USB-C ones. And add a backspace key, of course. I just love those keycaps.
- kevin_thibedeau 2y agoThe early Apple ADB keyboards for IIgs has similar key caps if you want something that could be usable on a modern system.
