Hi rbatte1...
Nice! Been there done that. I used the Speccy RF output to set up colour TVs many years ago.
I wrote a TestCard program in BASIC with an Assembly piece of code the write lines and
colour bars inside the border loaded into a REM statement.
RANDOMISE USR <address>
I remember it well... ;oD

Hi vbe...
Way COOL.
I still have my QL AND my Brother M1109 ribbon printer that I purchased with it.
Both bought in 1984. The printer is connected to my AMIGA A1200 which has been
on 24/7 for about 18+ years now. YUP that printer still works and is 30 years old.
Just pulled out the Microdrives I got with the QL; do you remember:-
Abacus.
Quill.
Easel.
Archive.
The four free cartridges that the QL came with...
It took me hours to get the bizarre QL serial port to work with the printer too.
The printer works flawlessly on my A500/A1200 via the parallel port.
I found a 6800(8)(0) disassembler written in QL SuperBASIC. Slow, but way cool.
Ahhh, the memories...
