Wow ... The Sinclair QL ... Now, there's a bit of history.

I have found that (with all its faults), Access is very good at
importing stuff, using its Wizard.

So, you might consider:
 
(a)exporting your Sinclair database as a text file for importing into
Access (assuming that you can move that file across to your new
computer.)

OR

(b)printing out your databse as a report, scanning the report into
your new computer and importing that.

I have never done this ... so I am only guessing!

Regards

Bryan

Run a QL emulator :

Get some software which enables transfer of files from the QL
microdrives to your hard-drive :
