I will dig it out and post it to the list. BTW Simon, SimCoupe and SDL is a great idea. I'm sure someone here can port the Windows UI to UNIX, either Qt, GTK or Motif withouyt too much fuss. It would be nice to run the emulator native again - speaks as someone who runs SimCoupe via vmware. Of course running a Sam emulator includes a sound chip emulator running on an emulated PC hardware, including an emulated Sound Blaster on a real PC is an interesting excersise in itself. I just wish I had time to do some coding myself - Children and jobs in the Microprocessor design industry - who would have them?

Phillips CM8833 MkII monitor Loads of original software, a pile of Formats and ZATs, even a SAM drinks mat! What price, I hear you ask. Umm, how does £100 sound? Where will it have to be collected from? Glorious Birmingham. If more than one person is interested, I could put the names into a proverbial hat, and select just one. However, another option is to announce a Saturday in the next month or two, or three, and maybe the package could be carefully split among SAM enthusiasts, on the understanding that I want as much to go as possible. I also hope to check over my second 512k SAM (without too much hardware, but has one disk drive) and let that go as well, if it's OK. I've also got an old pre-Amstrad Spectrum 128k with a Plus D set-up, but that'll need checking too. Anyone who's interested in this offer, please let me know so we can sort out something that may be fair for all concerned. If nobody replies, there's always the council tip. (Only joking!)

Software instead of hardware. You'd better stop saying original hardware is better than emulation. I think emulation is much hardcore, if you go deeper and deeper. Our technology isn't good enough to make software humans, so we try to make at least software Sams :))) Wish outlook would quote properly!!!

The question is - is there any point pursuing it? It wouldn't be compatible with the +2a/+3. When you say any point in pursuing it, do you mean to sell it? If so, then I doubt there is any point, to be entirely honest with you - unless it was very cheap. As a project for anyone to build, then yes, I can certainly see a lot of interest in it. I cant It's a great idea - in principle - but there are quite a numbner of potential probs in doing it. If you can do it, and I believe you have a good chance of getting something working, then it's going to be quite a clever piece of work indeed However, Its probably more easier to hack any unconverted Spectrum 128 titles to work on SAM! Why do more spectrum owners not use the SAM? is it because of it not being 128 compatible, or is it because they can't use their existing spectrum hardware?

Re: 128 compatibility - some technical details
Check out ebay for a Spectrum, 128 service manual - which may be handy!!! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemitem=383336764 no reserve - Original Message - From: Andrew Gale [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: sam-users@nvg.ntnu.no Sent: Sunday, July 16, 2000 10:51 AM Subject: 128 compatibility - some technical details OK, since there seems to be some interest in this, I thought I would mail my musings on the subject. The SAM's memory map, as you know, consists of 4 16K chunks called A (0-3FFF) B (4000-7FFF) C (8000-BFFF) and D (C000-). The Speccy 128 map also has 4 16K chunks, A being one of two 16K roms - this would be replaced by the 32K RAM which would be loaded with an image of the ROM before switching to 128 mode. Incidentally, the z80 in the SAM would be disabled, and a new z80 attached to the expansion port is being used instead (for both SAM and 128 mode). Now, page D of the 128 map can point to one of 8 16K chunks of ram, whereas pages B and C always point to the same two 16K pages. By juggling the a14 and a15 lines from the z80 before they reach the SAM's ASIC, we can map the 128's memory map onto the ASIC's memory map like this: 128 Sam's ASIC A- (goes two one of two 16K pages in the 32K ram) BB CA DD In other words, the non-pageable 32K chunk in the 128 map maps onto a 32K page specified by the SAM's LMPR register, whereas page D (which can bank in 16K pages) maps to a 16K page specified by the SAM's HMPR register. The trick then is to catch any writes to the 128's banking register and convert this to a write to the SAM's HMPR register, with a certain amount of twiddling to the value that is being written. The LMPR register would be set prior to switching to 128 mode. Since the z80 is hanging off the back of the SA, it is quite easy to catch writes to an output port and divert them to a different port. There's one more snag: the 128 can take its screen from one of two of its 16K pages, and this is determined by setting or unsetting a bit in the same register as is used to control the 128's memory paging for bank D. Any modification to this bit has to be reflected in the SAM's VMPR register. So, a writed to the spectrum 128's memory/video port (port FD, I think) has to be converted to a write to two SAM ports - HMPR and VMPR. This can be achieved with a simple state machine. There are some other minor complications - the sam's FD port will need to be re-mapped to elsewhere in the spectrum's i/o map, other ports may need re-mapping, a soundchip will be necessary to give the 128 sound, and 128 peripherals may not like working at a 6MHz clock. A bonus is that the 32K ram could be used as a soft-rom when in SAM mode. Also, speccy peripherals may or may not be accessible in SAM mode - simple things like joystick interfaces, speech synthesisers and so on should be OK, but a multiface won't be. (That said, I think I know how to make a SAM multiface if anyone is interested). So there you go, something to think about. I think it's very do-able, but possibly not worth the effort (except for the challenge of the design). Andy

Loads of graphics done by Gordon if anyone will finish Deadly Addiction - plus a fantastic CD :) Yeah... Version #2 of which will be thrown together without due care and attention as soon as I get my effing SCSI card working ;-) On the graphics side, I have got quite a bit done. Nothing really 'complete' except for a few sets of backgrounds, and I'm still (occasionally) working through revision 3 of the player sprites. As for the baddies, I was planning on going back to the drawing board on a load of 'em. Most just weren't _right_... It _was_ going to end up on my website as 'what might have been', but if anyone is interested, I might get active on it again. Gord.

Urm, If you mean the one down from KFC, I suspect it's unrelated ;-) (There is one in Chelt too, it sells a mix of PC games, jigsaws, a few board games, packs of cards, trading cards, and hand puzzles. I've never noticed anytihng sam related, or Bob, in them!) I did see Bob at Picnic in the Park one year (It's a chelt thang), the next one is next w/e I think so I'll keep an eye out for him. Someone go and see if his caravan is still outside, and get the council to tow it away :) (Never appreciated people who leave books on the floor instead of proper bookcases :(
