Well, since my Mac is a Mac and not a PC, it won't run the DOS version
unless I buy a Wintel emulator, which I suspect is probably not the most
efficient route to run an emulator. The Mac port of SimCoupe will emulate a
Sam at full speed on my 200MHz 603e machine - which, one year after I got
it is now lower than low end :(

The only real problem is that the port doesn't handle the keyboard well at
all - in fact the only modifier key which works is SHIFT (ie. SYMBOL and
CNTRL are not emulated) and none of the "extended" keys exist (ie. and in
the upper three bits of the keyboard port which don't exist on the
Spectrum, eg ,;:"=+-*/ etc. Unfortunately this crippling error means it's
almost impossible to do anything at all...
