And I won the 600xl!

These are such a great form factor, looking forward to assessing it and thinking about upgrades.

I will need to upgrade to 64k before I can add an Ultimate 1MB, so that's the starting point, probably followed by VBXL and PokeyMax.

How was the Gold Card?
Intro retro computers since before they were retro...
ZX81->Spectrum->Memotech MTX->Sinclair QL->520STM->BBC Micro->TT030->PCs & Sun Workstations.
Added code to the MiNT kernel (still there the last time I checked) + put together MiNTOS.
Collection now with added Macs, Amigas, Suns and Acorns.

Not had a long play with it yet, but it's nice to see 2MB on the boot screen.

I need to give it a good go and check the floppy interface too.

It's really neat though, no bits hanging out and setting the clock via the Mice GUI was super easy.

Overall pretty happy so far.

I did post briefly on the QL thread.
