You'll really enjoy installing the vMAP QL :) Quite fiddly.

Also, getting the MDV files is a bit of fun, but I used a QL emulator, Q-Emulator, with a USB floppy and my QL FDD to move stuff around and onto the SD card. It's not fast, but it does work. If you have any MDV carts you need to image, I have the software to do it.

About the same as mine. I did get a vLA81 from the same guy, after 4 weeks it hadn't arrived, but as he was just about to send a replacement it dropped through the letter box.

I found the hardest part was getting the original mdv ribbon cables inside to plug into the vMap.
