This was basically an original QL circuit board and a Sandy SuperQMouse built into a plastic PC-style case. The QXT-640 had a built in 60W power supply, and a powered backplane was connected to the end of the QL, to provide 3 expansion slots. One slot was used for the Sandy [[qlwiki:SuperQMouse]] which provided the extra 512K RAM, plus the mouse controls, parallel port, [[qlwiki:Toolkit II]] and floppy disk interface. The QL was then connected to a full travel IBM-XT style keyboard (normally using the [[qlwiki:QLKeyboard90]] interface, plus one or two 3.5" floppy drives. Sandy also provided their own [[qlwiki:Keyboards]] interface with some versions of the QXT-640. One of the QL microdrives was moved to the right hand side of the case, strapped underneath one of the floppy disk drives and connected to the QL motherboard using home-made extension leads. The QXT-640 was available as a complete 1 drive system for £654, or as a twin drive unit for £699. It was also available as a kit of parts and case to upgrade your existing QL from about £259. ---- {{qlwiki:qxt640.jpg?direct&240x178 |Sandy QXT-640 System}} {{qlwiki:Sandy_QXT640_box.jpg?direct&240x178|Sandy QXT-640 System Box}} {{qlwiki:Sandy_QXT640.jpg?direct&240x178|Sandy QXT-640 System - Complete}}\\ Title: **QXT-640**\\ Interface Type: n/a - complete system\\ Connection: n/a\\ Through-Connector: NO\\ Manufacturer: [[qlwiki:Sandy]]\\ Designer: Unknown\\ Year First Sold: Unknown\\ Original Price: From £259\\ Download Manual: [[http://www.dilwyn.qlforum.co.uk/docs/manuals/sandy.zip|Sandy Disk Manual]] (QL Quill DOC)\\ Accompanying Software: None\\ qlwiki/sandy_qxt640.txt Last modified: 2023/08/25 12:21by 127.0.0.1
