Hello everybody, A few days ago, I asked here if somebody could possibly send me his Sam Copue tapes in TZX format to let me test them in emulator. Up to now, nobody sent me anything :-((((((((
Yesterday, I played around with TZX files, and it seems pretty well. You can use Ramsoft's "MakeTZX" utility (downoad from www.WorldOfSpectrum.org). It is assured to fully support Sam tapes. I tested it and it works 100 correctly with my 15 years old cheap Sony HF-90 tapes! :-) It's simple, but very good. I will definitely add TZX support to emulator (ASCD for sure, maybe also SimCoupe if Simon Owen will let me to do so :-), because it supports blocks > 65535 bytes, and that is the major problem of TAP usage on Sam Coupe. So, please send me some tape images. At last! I have only some test files I personally save on my real Sam Coupe. They works, but it's not enough for real testing. Thanks. /-- Aley
