Can't help you with most of those problems, but as someone else  
mentioned, that memory upgrade sounds like a custom job. The normal  
ones were extremely simple, unscrew the tiny panel underneath, slot  
the small upgrade in, and away you go! ;-)


Colin still sells the memory upgrades I think, so it could be worth  
detaching that unusual one and putting one of those in just for the  
best results (Who knows, it could be causing some of your other

As someone else mentioned, you should normally have 4 blue feet.  
Again, I think Colin sometimes has a few spare, so he may be able to  
help.


As for the mouse interface, the SAM used ST compatible mice with the  
MGT mouse interface. So if you can pick up or have an old one of  
those, it should work.

Sorry, I don't know most of the answers and am probably not about to

 I have replaced the TV lead from inside the power unit, and I get a picture on
 my TV.

 However, if the TV is tuned in properly - I get a black and white picture,
 otherwise the start up screen is very blue.

So there's no way to get colour at all (other than a whole-screen
tint)? I remember there being some sort of hardware fault that can
cause that — it happened to my original Sam Coupe and we ended up
sending it back under the warranty. I think they must just have
shipped a new unit, since I remember the disk light changed colour
too.

That said, it's very that's a completely unrelated story.

 There were two SCART leads with the computer, but neither seem to give an 
 output.

 I seem to recall reading that the SCART is very different to normal.

 Does anyone have spare SCART and cassette leads please?

Colin can generally sell you those things if that's acceptable — his
website is http://samcoupe.com/ and both composite and RGB scart leads
are £9.99.

 Also - I have found a semi-circular rubber foot - I presume that the Sam 
 should
 have four of these in the holes on the side of the casing?

 Does anyone have some spares?

Yep, should have four, usually blue but sometimes black. I've no ideas
about spares.

 My Sam has 512K memory, with piggy-backed RAM chips and a wire which runs 
 across
 and is connected to one of the pins on the internal expansion port (to the 
 right
 of the disk drive).

 Is this normal - as it seems an awkward way of connecting it!

No, that's probably some sort of do-it-yourself modification. I've
never actually fitted one, but I think the official upgrade is just a
tiny daughterboard that you plug in after unscrewing the little panel
with copyright information/etc on the bottom to reveal the relevant
hole.

 Finally, I have an MGT mouse interface for the Sam, and a Comms interface - 
 what
 is the best way of testing these?

The mouse interface expects an Atari ST-style serial mouse, so you'll
need to get hold of one of those. It came with a demo disk including a
mouse-driven version of Flash! and some code to access the mouse from
your own BASIC programs. It's not the same thing but you can get the
'Mouse Driver 2.0' disk from http://www.worldofsam.org/node/214
legally, as distribution rights have been granted. A bunch of PD
software that supports it is also available.

As for the comms interface, I've no ideas specific enough to be helpful.

That's strange.  The ends should be labeled TV and SAM COUPÉ - if not,  
they are ordinary SCART leads and will not work, or even should not be

It has been a long time but if I remember correctly the TV signal was

PSU wasn't screened so the signal could be too poor to carry the colour 
part.  I often used to shorten the power lead to about 18 inches to 
overcome this.


The other frequent problem I recall was on the Sam main board. On the 
left hand side (see attached image) C43 and L1 used to cause loss of 
colour. C43 needs to be the blue component, not the brown one, and L1 
should not be in a metal can.  Don't even think about trying to change 
these if you're not fully equiped with years of soldering experience and 
a good temperature controlled soldering iron.  The Sam PCB will lift 
tracks and be destroyed more easily than almost any other!

According to the reply you made to my test. My clock is right.
Your message to me is the wrong time.
I sent the message at approx the time stated below, so how could you get it,
and reply before I sent it.

My PC clock is set right So what clock are you talking about.

This message of yours, that I am now replying to had the header line :

  Date:   Wed, 13 Oct 1999 19:16:39 -0700

  which is about 8 hours in the future.

i.e. you should fix your timezone!!

Time Zone fixed... Thanks.
The time was still right as reported. Just the time zone was wrong.

Oh no! + Testing + More Oh no!

Oh no!
Freeserve have decided to expire my account because I haven't logged on for
a few weeks!  (I've just been checking my main from work.)

Testing
So I've had to re-subscribe using my work address; has it worked?

More Oh no!
Now that you know where I work you'll be able to find our web-site,
including photos of everybody here (cringe)!

PS. Thanks to everyone for the MIDI tips.

There is a time period after it has expired during which you can get
them to revive it.  I'd contact the sysadmins.

Testing + Hello again!

1999-01-13 Thread David Laundon
Hello again!  After a few weeks without access to a PC (don't know how I
managed it!) I have returned thanks to my kind employers (grovel).

So then, this is just a little test to check I've got all my addresses
right.

Hello, would it be possible for me to change my email address on your
list from

[EMAIL PROTECTED]

to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

This would make it a bit easier for me to separate sam coupe stuff and
personal emails.

Thanks for the info so far.

Regards.  Mat Harding.
