Oh, by the way... when formatting a disk, you may prefer to boot DOS on the SAM and use the "FORMAT" command. Obviously that's not really an option to you when you don't have a disk containing DOS... If you copy DOS to the newly formatted disk before writing anything else to the disk, you can boot off that disk, too. Also, you can access a real floppy disk directly from SimCoupe, using /dev/fd0, but the interface to this is a bit awkward. > So, for the documentation.

That would be a great help. There are quite a few manuals on NVG (ftp://ftp.nvg.ntnu.no/pub/sam-coupe/, but I'm guessing you know that), so it's probably not worth duplicating them... but there's a lot of introductory documentation that would be useful. > So, thank you all for replies, now I'll close myself into the room > with Sam for few days (I am having 1 week of holidays now) and will > partly flood you around. Have fun! -- but feel free to ask the list if you've any questions. > Anyway, I am downloading e-tracker and will play with the sound. That's reminded me... I would very much like to know how to produce phasing sounds with E-Tracker. Could someone upload a module demonstrating this, or explain how to achieve the sound, please? Thanks, -- Stuart Brady
