I’m guessing that you won’t be bored then!

I suspect boredom is unlikely!!

Excuse the mess of cables, but I finally got to testing the dual FDD with my Gold Card last night and it works just perfectly. I need to start building a nice collection of useful software for the QL now that I have it nicely upgraded.

Nice (M)Ice. It's a pity that so little software used that mouse interface.

Lots of software on Dilwyn's web site.

Yeah I need to visit his site and have a scour around.

Mice is nice, but not the best of GUIs, but a nice try for the time. I do have some of the software that came with it, which is nice.

ARTice isn't bad.

ARTice isn't bad.

I have MiceART, ICEICLE (That's how it's spelled!), Sprite Generator and Toolkit. They all came with Mice when I bought it.

I managed to image and transfer to vDrive carts, but need to spend some quality time with them

Damn you both @rubber_jonnie and @stephen_usher - I have only gone and bought the QL vDrive and mapper.

I'm usually damned for some reason or other, so nothing unusual there

And I'm sure you didn't need our help to push the buy button!!

Let me know if I can help at all
