Hello all,
You can now get the Martijn's RGB Demo from the following link:
http://www.intensity.org.uk/samcoupe/download.html
- or more directly,
http://www.intensity.org.uk/samcoupe/downloads/RGB.dsk.gz
I'm assuming he doesn't mind it being distributed, seeing as it's been
on Fred.

From memory, the fix never worked. At least, I never got it to work and I remember other peeps with the same problem. I always wondered how the original RGB demo got past quality control when it took up so much room on the disk ;) Anyway, maybe no-one has a working copy? :)

Nearly. I suspect they are frame grabs from a TV card.
