Medic Datasystems Limited, originally of Basingstoke, Hampshire, were one of the earliest hardware manufacturers for the Sinclair QL, with advertising starting in early 1985, but alas also one of the first failures (hot on the heels of <a href="http://www.rwapadventures.com/ql_wiki/index.php?title=OE%20Limited">OE Limited</a>.
</p>
<p>
They promised some good expansions, including memory expansions and disk interfaces which were designed to look like an extension to the QL. However, due to problems with non-delivery, Trading Standards got involved and they ceased trading, leaving many early QL'ers out of pocket.
</p>
<p>
The range of promised hardware expansions included:
</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.rwapadventures.com/ql_wiki/index.php?title=Medic%20Interface">Medic Interface</a> - with disk interface and parallel port - 64K, 128K or 256K extra memory optional

<p>
As part of their way of saying sorry for the delays, they actually released some free software which could be obtained by writing to them.

<p>
Medic Datasystems Limited were one of the earliest hardware manufacturers for the Sinclair QL, but alas also the first failure.
</p>
<p>
They promised some good expansions, including memory expansions and disk interfaces which were designed to look like an extension to the QL. However, due to problems with non-delivery, Trading Standards got involved and they ceased trading, leaving many early QL'ers out of pocket.
</p>
<p>
The range of promised hardware expansions included:
</p>
<ul>
<li>MEDIC Systemcartridge - with 64K, 128K or 256K extra memory
</li><li>MEDIC Systemcartridge (the <a href="http://www.rwapadventures.com/ql_wiki/index.php?title=Medic%20Interface">Medic Interface</a>) - with disk interface and parallel port - 64K, 128K or 256K extra memory optional
</li><li>MEDIC Modem - connected through the Systemcartridge
</li><li>MEDIC Winchester Hard Disk (5MB in size).
</li><li>Mouse Interface (plugged into ROM port and allowed you to connect a Mouse and/or a numeric keypad)
</li><li>Professional QL Keybaord
</li><li>Joystick
</li></ul>
<p>
As part of their way of saying sorry for the delays, they actually released some free software which could be obtained by writing to them. These games were all written by <a href="http://www.rwapadventures.com/ql_wiki/index.php?title=Janko%20Mrsic-Fl%F6gel">Janko Mrsic-Flögel</a> and consisted of the following:

</li><li><a href="http://www.rwapadventures.com/ql_wiki/index.php?title=Metropolis">Metropolis</a>

<p>
They also produced a graphics package which suggests that Medic were looking to release a mouse controlled desktop system for the QL in 1985.

</li></ul>
<p>
Their adverts refer to other software provided free with every MEDIC disk drive system, which appears to use the same interface, although we have not seen any examples of these programs which are currently MIA:
