The latest ZX Microfair's unique blend of scrum and street market hit London's Alexandra Palace last week with a star attraction - the QL and matching accessories.

GST, of course, was there demonstrating its alternative operating system and assembler for the QL (issue 77). And suppliers like Adapt Electronics were offering the Cub RGB monitor from Microvitec that has been configured to work with the QL's high resolution screen.

Spectrascan Software appeared to be laying claim to the title of "first with QL games". On offer were Golf, Othello/Connect4 and 3D Maze. They are available at £12 each; but you can buy all three on one Microdrive cartridge for £26.

Talking of Microdrive cartridges, Transform (01-658 6350) has a neat box that tidily organises your cartridges. It costs £5.95 and holds 20 tapes.

Disks for the Spectrum were very much in evidence. Technology Research was selling its single and double density disk interfaces at £77.25 and £89.25 respectively. It also has a special offer on that lasts until October 31 1984. For £199.99 it is selling an interface and disk drive.

Also pitching in at the £199 level was Thurnall with its 3in disk system. The best deal of the lot was from Primordial Peripherals which was selling a boxed Shugart drive and an interface for £179.

On the printer front, Cambridge Computing was showing an intelligent Centronics printer interface.

Priced at £45, it includes software on ROM (no more loading of printer driver software from tape).

One of the drawbacks of the Spectrum is the lack of a colour monitor output. You can now get a high quality output with an RGB module from Adept that plugs into the expansion port. It costs £29.95.

Adventure fans were offered an excellent bargain on the Dream Software stand. Its Dungeon Builder program lets you design your own adventures. For £9.95 you get a sophisticated piece of software that includes the ability to create colour pictures, add text and logic and play or save the game.
