Original Blackbox QL
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.
