I am easily amused, a Mega Sandwich:


The middle one is currently powered up, but it isn't much of a change to swap over the keyboard to any of them, and better than having 2 of them gathering dust on the shelf :)

Hmm... stacked sandwich... or club sandwich?

I'm going with stacked :)

Thanks to @stephen_usher I now have a floppy disk interface for my OPD, seen here hooked up to my QL dual floppies:


Disk formatting went just fine, but I didn't get much further than that on account of the keyboard playing up again and some key keys being very erratic. I need to revisit the whole keyboard thing, as whilst it is possible to fit ST keydomes, it would be nice to have something that's better and will last longer.

The only problem with the OPD is the space it takes up due to the display, though it is a very nice display I have to say. More fun for another day.

I'm glad it works. :-)

P.S. Oh, that's what colours it's using!

Me too :)

The colours are very much QL like, and the display, made by Microvitec, is really very sharp and clear I have to say.

Indeed, but I can't tell on the mono monitor which colours are which, only relative brightness.

Yes, I noticed that, though the display still looks sharp in mono.

It does!

Just arrived, thanks @PhilC for the recommendation :)

Annoyingly still no LS93 for the OSI though :(
