For it is better RaspberryPi with SIM COUPE emulator. Small and cheap and with more features. :-) All clones are only for fans. 
I'm a fan!!!
Case on my picture is only one of more possible versions. I plan also other cases. Main board will small (mini itx format) and will support different additional boards with connectors. See here: 
http://velesoft.speccy.cz/other/SAMCLONE_PANEL2.JPG
Thats really cool. Does this mean, it will be possible to use ZX Spectrum interfaces directly?
Will possible use also similar board for install to original SAM COUPE case, different version to MINI ITX case and different to my cases. SAM 2 is not only clone. Enable good compatibility with ZX128 and faster graphic operations, rom reflashing, rom emulation... This project is primarily maked for me and my friends, but will possible make more pieces. 
I'm your friend, please! I want one or two of these.
You said, it will have Text mode. Can the Text characters be redefined? Which other graphics modes are planed?
Real FDD is used only with this my case. SAM 2 can be used also as ZX compatible computer but with all SAM COUPE features as bonus :-) Case will support SD card (in ZX mode compatible with DIVMMC). 


Real FDD makes sense for users of original software.

Big part of USB/PS2 keyboards have ghosting effect and not support 
some keys combinations in ZX games. For example problems with SINCLAIR 
joysticks, QWERT, CURSORS+0, QAOP+SPACE, etc... Laptop keyboard 
contain only membrane, but is possible with software filter eliminate 
ghosting effect. And TOSHIBA SATELLITE laptop keyboards support most 
popular keys combinations in ZX games. Info about PC keyboard ghosting 
test:

High priority is for me keyboard with usable keys combinations in 
games. Laptop keyboard is small, cheap and is possible buy each type 
more years after release. SAM 2 use universal adapter for connect any 
laptop keyboard and will use define keys after first connect new 
keyboard (any membrane). Each user can define own keys layout.



Excellent, but I hope, you can use also original SAM membranes in a SAM 
case.

Sorry, I am pessimistic here. I don't like this design. I don't like 
the look of the original Sam Coupe either, why the hell would anybody 
want to clone it? In my opinion it's weird, it's a waste of effort 
and skills. And why 3.5" floppy diskettes? Another weird thing here. 
It's 2014, not 1984! I would definitely prefer a standard PC keyboard 
and a computer in a separate box, with flash memory cards (of any 
easily implementable type) instead of the current design.


Best regards,
Aley

New computer compatible with sam coupe and ZX128. Contain real CPU 
Zilog Z80,
and CPLD chip instead old ASIC. Real SAA1099 and AY chip,... Don't 
contain any

modern PIC,ARM. Price is unknown, all is in development.

It reflects poorly on me but Spanish isn't one of my languages. What 
sort of
machine is it? A genuine hardware compatible or just a Pi-or-whatever 
in a

suitable case? How much? When? In what form?

Very exciting.

Where do we find more information?  I'd love to get one.  I'll have 
to look closer on Velesoft's website.
