	Sinclair QL - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A Sinclair QL The Sinclair QL (for Quantum Leap), was a personal computer launched by Sinclair Research in January 1984, as the successor to the ZX Spectrum.
		The QL was the first mass-market personal computer based on the Motorola 68000-series processor family to be released, beating the Apple Macintosh by a month, and the Atari ST by a year.
		QLs buit by Samsung for export markets had DE-9 sockets for the RS-232 and joystick ports, instead of the unusual and UK-specific BS 6312 sockets found on UK-built QLs.

	Sinclair QL; Sir Clive enters the business market.
		The power supply for the QL is an external unit with one cable to the computer and another to the wall outlet.
		Sinclair has put a great deal of effort into the development of these drives and began to deliver them in substantial quantities for the Spectrum a bit over a year ago.
		QL Abacus is a full-featured spreadsheet package which would have received high marks in our spreadsheet roundup in the June issue of Creative.

		Sinclair QL The Sinclair QL The QL was a personal computer introduced by Sinclair Research in 1984.
		These were the mass storage drives of the QL, in which you would insert little cartridges, containing a long (5 m) loop of magnetic tape running quite fast (70 cm/s) under a head similar to that of a normal tape recorder.
		The QL was launched too early in its development for commercial reasons; the result was a system which was buggy and still unfinished.

	Planet Sinclair: Computers: QL
		The early promise of the Sinclair QL was rapidly undone by the disastrous technical and production difficulties which the machine encountered in its first months on the market.
		On the Sinclair QL I continued to program in assembly (the QL BASIC (SuperBasic) was ok, but I wasn't interested), and I wrote various more-or-less useless programs (ranging from a FORTH compiler and an editor-assembler system of my own to Pac-Man to a MSDOS compatible floppy disk driver).
		The QL was a fun machine, but there weren't very many of them in Finland, and although I was generally happy to write my own programs (still am), it did teach me to buy hardware that actually is supported.

	SINCLAIR QL (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-06)
		SINCLAIR QL The QL arrived at a time when I had lost interest in the magic of Sinclair electronics.
		Again the reality was less appealing, the 68008 used in the QL only had an 8 bit external data bus and as such was not the high performer anticipated.
		A whole generation of people were developing skills on the Spectrum and QL, for many they would later find themselves engaged in employment that required a PC and would look back with affection to the mid-80's, the days when computers were both wonderfully simple, and highly playable.

	ZX Spectrum
		The Sinclair ZX Spectrum was a small home computer released in the United Kingdom in 1982 by Sinclair Research.
		After Amstrad's buyout of Sinclair Research in 1986, two more versions were released: the ZX Spectrum +2 (with a built-in cassette recorder, like the Amstrad CPC 464) and the ZX Spectrum +3 (with a built-in 3-inch floppy disk drive, like the Amstrad CPC 6128).
		Several peripherals for the Spectrum were marketed by Sinclair: the printer was already on the market, as the Spectrum had retained the protocol for the ZX81's printer.

		It was important for Clive Sinclair to unveil the QL before the Macintosh, but that was also one of the main reasons for the QL's failure...
		The QL was abondoned by Amstrad after they bought Sinclair, but several computers derived from the QL were produced, like the OPD (One Per Desk) made by ICL for the British Telecom, or the Thor made by CST.

		The QL (Quantum Leap) was announced early 1984 and the first machines were delivered may 1984.
		This was called the "klutge", later models had the extra ROM built inside the machine, it was piggy backed on top of one of the two other ROM's and after that, they used one 32Kb and one 16Kb ROM.
		The Motorola 68008 processor was a 8/16/32 bit processor it had a 8 bit databus, a 20 bit address bus and most of the instructions were 32bit.

	Sinclair QL - Programs Etc
		The QL colour channels can only be on or off, so the program dithers the raw data so that each colour is either on or off.
		It then rearranges the bits into the QL video format and output the chunk of data to the output image file, and repeats until done.
		QL pixels are not square, so you need to stretch your original image a bit before conversion.
