The QL is best remembered as a technologically robust machine that nevertheless did not appeal to the market it was expected to tap into.

Sinclair QL VGA adapter and cable built. But black screen on power on. That empty socket I thought was just an open optional IC, is the PAL chip. So got to source a replacement MC1377P.

i always thought the Sinclar QL keyboard looks rather futuristic. It uses the 68008 processor to give it that extra boost of power.

For the Sinclair QL video output, I’m going to try the Video_IF_QL_VGA project. VGA is a lot easier to work with this side of the globe.

UGH! What is this garbage two piece socket. Well that was frustrating to delicately clean off the board and replace.

Working to resurrect a #SinclairQL for #VCFMontreal and couldn’t figure out why D4 was being pulled down to ground. That was a frustrating search. Wonder how early in the life of the computer did this happen or was it like that from day one.

The Demon Jar (2026) by Alan Pemberton for Sinclair QL.
A Victorian text adventure built like a horror short story. You play Oswald Stanley, visiting an old friend on a fine summer's evening. Then the evil spirit arrives.

The Curse of Rabenstein (2025) by Stefan Vogt for Sinclair QL. Lost in the Black Forest, your coachman vanishes and the night closes in. A modern graphic adventure that nods to Level 9 classics.
