Ultrasoft

There appear to have been two traders under the name of Ultrasoft.

The earliest (first advertising in QL User, November 1985) were based in Barnsley, South Yorkshire and offered one item for the Sinclair QL:

• QCLEAN - A microdrive cleaning system

A much better known trader, Ultrasoft, based in Düsseldorf, Germany, which was later run by Martin Berndt. In the beginning, there were a few other authors involved, e.g. Jochen Merz, Christian Caan von Seelen and Axel Pabich.

Amongst the titles released by the German Ultrasoft, were:

• DiskTool
• Graphic Construction Kit
• Mandelbrot Magic
• Perfect Pointer Tools
• QKick
• QLone
• Toolkit III

The German Ultrasoft also manufactured various hardware items for the Sinclair QL, all designed by Ulrich "Uli" Rosowski, including:

• U5 - Buffered expansion backplane
• UltraCard - Connect up to 6 EPROMs to the QL
• UltraKey - Keyboard conversion
