Introduction
The Sinclair QL Home Computer was released in 1984 - the successor
to
the earlier Sinclair computers, the ZX80, ZX81 and ZX Spectrum.
The QL was launched as a business machine, complete with two
built in
microdrives, 128K, full sized keyboard and 4 Psion business programs
(Quill - Wordprocessor, Archive - Database program, Easel - Business
Graphics and Charts, Abacus - Spreadsheet) and a powerful SuperBASIC.
An updated version of the QL and Psion software was soon
released, and the QL has remained popular amongst a hardcore of users,
with 2 replacement operating systems (Smsq/e and Minerva), numerous
emulators and even 16 bit colour drivers. A wide range of
business and games software has been released over the
years, and the QL is still supported by some traders, our user group
(Quanta) and even a bi-monthly magazine (QL Today). There is
also a popular emailing forum for discussion of all things QL related.
