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.

And floppy contents in the GUI:

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.

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 :)

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 :)
