Review of the Qliger EMU-4 Microdrive adapter board ($35 PPD) from The English Micro Connection that enables ZX Microdrives to work on the TS2068 via Sinclair Interface 1. Notes the angled PC board design for easy Interface 1 attachment, slight risk from exposed components, successful use with Aerco Centronics Interface and TS2040 printer, and failure with Westridge 2050 modem.
