Hi All, Just time to answer the poll while the coffee is brewing and my workstation is compiling; and as you asked so politely:
> Lets run a little poll. Can people fill in the following and reply > > 1) Do you have an actual Sam Coupe: I did up until late last year when I gave it away to a good home with Andrew Collier. We were running out of space in the house (and loft), and what with a new kid on the way (Born Dec 22nd) and an iMac, something had to go :( > 2) Does it work? Yes (See Andrew's mail) Although it always had a dodgy TV output so I bought a nice Philips CM8833 MKII. > 3) Do you still use it? Unfortunately not - see above. > 4) How many bits of sam software have you got? Quite a lot, pretty much all the software available up to Stratophere. I kept all the disks (or is that discs :) and plan to transfer them to CD rom so I can run them on SimCoupe on the Mac. > 5) Do you still actively seek new sam bits and pieces? No - but its great to see Colin keeping up the good work. I don't honestly know how he manages to get it done together with a full time job. All I know is he either has no kids ot has devloped a Quazar time machine hooked up to the Borg! > 6) Would you buy a new game for the sam coupe if the price was right? Yes - especially if it was a race game or a horizontal Shoot-em-up (R-Type anyone) as long as it was SimCoupe Compatible > 7) What price would be right if you would? I guess it would depend on the quality, but anything under 25 pounds would be fine > 8) Would you develop a title for the sam still? Oh for the time.... I would like to do some SimCouple development. I'm just glad Simon took up the challenge to bring the Emulator to maturity > 9) Would you help develop a title for the sam? Sure. My Z80 is probably a bit rusty though :) > 10) Do you think that all the work put in to keep the sam alive is a waste > of time? Never, if only for the sake of history. My background in 8-bit machines (ZX81 ZX Spectrum and Sam) was a huge influence on my career choice. If only we could influence the next generation of kids to start coding for their machines..... > 11) if yes to 10 then why?
