  Hello Guys

  I have worked for a year and a half on QX-10 and 16 before leaving the 
school where I was teaching.  At that time, I gave away 3 QX-10, 2 QX-16
2 20 Mb hard disks and all the original technical documentation.  Had to do
that as I was leaving the country and could not afford to take them along.
  In the US, I enquired about QXs for the good times sakes, and came up
with those two addresses:

   Star Technology Corporation
   900 Road 170
   Carbondale, CO 81623     (303)963-1969

     I found their prices much too high ( $679 for a 20 Mb, 65 ms 
   hard disk )

   SnyderScope International
   1594 Hilltop Drive
   El Cajon, CA 92020-8227  (619)442-2299

     SnyderScope was in the process of closing its QX interests in 1991, so
   I don't know if they might be of help.  They might be kind and give you
   a few tips on how to hack a QX to MFM or RLL interface so that you can 
   use a regular DOS drive.

  Happy hacking
