vDrive QL – Microdrive Hardware Emulator delivers hardware emulation for up to eight Microdrives and includes a comprehensive toolkit for managing Microdrive cartridge images which are stored on SD Card. The vDriveQL simply connects to your QL’s external Microdrive bus and is accessed with the usual Microdrive commands.A 3D printed case is available (as an option) to house the vDriveQL or otherwise a standard ZX Microdrive case case also be used (check out the installation manual vDriveQL Hardware Installation).

The SD Card file system implementation is DOS based and is compatible with systems which can read or write to FAT16 or FAT32 media. The vDriveQL has been tested with SD Cards having a capacity of up to 32GB.

The vDriveQL adopts the MDV image format. This format is supported by emulators such as Q-emulator and QLAY. In general, images created with these emulators will be compatible with the vDriveQL and vice versa. MDV images can be formatted, saved to, read from and erased by standard QL commands on real QL hardware.

Other formats, such as the mDump archive format, and MDI, are also supported. They are automatically converted to MDV format prior to assigning to a vDrive.

As well as the standard 128K QL hardware with either the JM, JS or Minerva 1.97/1.98 ROM, the vDrive QL has also been tested on the following:

Miracle Systems Gold Card (including Tetroid’s clone)

Miracle Systems Super Gold Card

512K memory expansion cards

QL Trump Card (including clones)

vMapQL Microdrive Address Translator

The MiSTer Laggy is a display lag tester created for evaluating display responsiveness. Specifically designed for use with the MiSTer FPGA, and you MUST have either an analog or digital IO board featuring a User Port. ALL OUR MiSTer BOARDS COME WITH A LIFETIME WARRANTY!

The MiSTer FPGA USB Hub v2.1 board provides 7 USB ports for the Terasic DE10-Nano FPGA Board, If you need to connect multiple USB devices this is a very useful add-on board – offering a neat minimalist connection solution via the provided Micro USB Bracket Connector which connects directly into the header installed on the USB hub board and then via the right angled gold plated micro USB connector into the DE10 Nano board. A power splitter cable is also included along with four brass hex stand-offs.
