A replacement IC for the QLs 8049 co-processor

January 26, 2003

The Sinclair QL's second processor - the Intelligent Peripheral Controller (IPC 8049) handles sound, serial input and keyboard input. The internal code of the 8049 suffers a number of problems, some fatal.

All the above problems are cured by Hermes

Fitting is a simple job - simply remove the top of the QL (8 screws) and replace the IC marked '8049' next to microdrive 1. A small file is RESPRed for the extended features.
