Cool - I didn't make the first either, but quite a few of the later ones, so lots of familiar faces and lots of memories. I ended up living about 10 minutes down the road from Quedgley, so occasionally I'll drive past (and even use the supermarket next door). Never gone back in the pub next door though! Tim
Emulation etc...
Appologies in advance if I'm doing a Roger here but technically, would it be possible for the raspberry pi to run SimCoupe ... and if so, what sort of speed when compared to the real machine? Cheers David

I can't even remember having that much hair! :) Quoting Dave whitmor...@gmail.com: Here's a fun clip from the first show at Gloucester. So long ago I don't remember what year it was, but it must've been something like '93/94. It was made with the aim of grabbing stills to digitise to put on the disk mags of the day. You'll know some of the faces on it. :) http://youtu.be/v6Gv2Ybwzh0 Dave

Re: Emulation etc...
It says on the website that it'll be available (from the website) at the end of Feb. The anticipation reminds me of 1989. Dave
Re: Coming back to haunt
I've still got all mine - for all the bloody use it is. :-) Was it weird seeing yourself in 1993? On 17 February 2012 20:28, da...@properbastard.co.uk wrote: I can't even remember having that much hair! :)

Also count me in on the beta testing ;) I can't wait for the Pi to surface and have every intention of using it as an 8bit emulation station, with SIM Coupé top of the list of things to try on it. I'm with you on the anticipation thing. I've been pottering about with my Amiga 4000 this past week and it really takes me back to when computers were fun. The Pi should be great fun if it lives up to expectations. Cheers Andrew

Cheers Andrew Although I'd much rather use my Real SIAC - i just don't have space where I live at the moment - so a unit that's smaller than a 1mb memory pack really is interesting to me.
