Original Sinclair QL related hardware.

Manufacturer: Sinclair.

Item Name: ZX-83 Motherboard / Pre-production QL system.

WANTED: The missing 3rd of the ROM data

When my ZX-83 QL pre-production machine was originally sold on eBay in Spring 2023 the eBay seller sold some other QL related items in a separate listing. These other items consisted of two ROM 'Dongle' PCBs and three Intel D27128 EPROM chips, one of which contains the missing third of the operating system found within my pre-production QL. The other chips also contain features that were very likely originally used with my pre-production QL.

Did you purchase these items or do you know who has them?

For the sake of originality and also to preserve and share the data on the chips with the QL community, it would be great to find the missing EPROMs! I don't mind either buying the items outright, or if the owner would prefer to keep them, I'd also be happy to pay for the contents of the three EPROM chips or would also be happy to read the contents and then return the chips. One of the stickers is detached... please cover the window to prevent accidental UV erasure!

The original eBay item title was 'Sinclair QL EPROM Cartridge Board x 2 With Eproms - Genuinely Untested'.

The text on the dongle/kludge PCBs is 'SINCLAIR QL EPROM CARTRIDGE BOARD'. The stickers on the 3 EPROM chips reads 'QDOS 8000 13-2-84', '8000 15-3' and 'TUTOR C000 (rest illegible)'.

Two of the pictures of the items were:
