This page is dedicated to the QUBIDE add-on for the QL.
QUBIDE is an IDE hard disk interface card for QL sytstems. The
hardware was originally designed by Zeljko Nastasic and brought to
market by Qubbesoft P/D, with compatible versionsof the interface,
mostly based on or developed from either the original version or Jan
Polenicek's development.
A
QUBIDE equivalent Compact Flash card interface has been built into the
Tetroid Disk Interface for the QL, available from SellMyRetro.com at
the time of writing (April 2018). The Tetroid Disk Interface is
equivalent to a Miracle Trump Card, with the added QUBIDE equivalent
Compact Flash card connection.
If anyone would like to make available any more software,
documentation, or articles about QL-SD, please email it to me.
