So after a renewed the power supply, I found a problem with floppy drive. There
is a rubber which connects the engine to the centre of the disk to let it spin.
Simply said: The rubber is aged, it needs to be either replaced, or the whole

If you use the original floppy drive and have got power problems, you can
simply call an electrician to repair your original power supply. You don’t need
to replace it. Every normally skilled repair man will repair it.
I just wonder how it is possible to see problems on scart caused by power

Please check the voltage of +12Volt. Check also the condensators in PSU and SAM.

Hi Sam Coupe fans,
I just uploaded the new version of my Sam Coupe emulator ASCD to my website.
It’s 10 years since last public release. :-D
It is “work in progress” release. It emulates ZX Spectrum 48, 128, and Sam
Coupé. There are two or three reasons why I resurrected this old project:

* Fixed wrong flash speed (it flashed every 25 frames, now it flashes every 16
frames)

file is only 3 MB (it’s .GZ compressed, and you can directly
load it to ASCD in this compressed form).
(File format is a regular TAP, as used in ZX Spectrum emulators. :-))

I will fix it in next version.)
