You are totally right - I was being an arse. I have just given up fags and am very moody at the moment ;-) >> What's the point in discussing something we have no say over. > >People have always had a say over it, directly and indirectly. What >sort of say do you want over it? I really just want a copy of the latest source that I can compile up under unix rather than having to run it under windows. I would also like to get involved a bit. Isn't that what Open Source is all about? I think that there are a few people on this list that would like to contribute but didn't know who had the real source and whether or not you wanted their help. >> Anyway you can't beat a real SAM for the full effect. > >I rarely use my real SAM anymore as SimCoupe is more accessible, higher >spec'ed, and potentially faster than my real one anyway. A 19" pin-sharp >monitor beats using it on a TV, the quad speakers+sub sound better than >my TV speaker (in my case), and I get to use a 'normal' keyboard too... True, true - it was me being an arse again. Dam those nicotine filled sticks. Although it is nice to be able to save to a disk on the original SAM coupe without losing the information from the disk when it is ejected. I take it in the later versions of the emulator source you have fixed this? I'm sure I have heard you mention this... >There's a real shortage of spare SAM spares, so it save's wearing out >the real one too! Being someone who has been away from the scene and then returned, I have found it really hard to find information about where to get things like hardware. Are there any companies like Quazar still selling stuff? Where can I get old titles like Driver from? Luke P.S. Can I have a copy of the source :-) ********************************************************************** This e-mail is private and confidential and is for the addressee only.
