Hi,
As I just subscribed to this list, I would like to introduce me first.
I'm an electronic engineer, writing from Brazil. I'm 27 years
old, work for the auto parts industry, and I have been a Spectrum
user since 1987 (actually, it was the TK90X, a Brazilian clone of the
Spectrum +).
Back in 87, my dream was to have a Sam. I know that some of
them came to Brazil at that time by the hands of some game pirates.
We could not import those machines at that time because there was a
law that does not allow us to buy imported computers, so most Amigas,
Macs, Commodores and even some Ataris wer bought by "not so legal"
ways (this includes my Amiga 1200)
I've downloaded SimCoupe for my Mac, and it was really nice
to see the dream machine emulated on my monitor.
Two things then came up in my mind: First, I don't know how
to use the Sam. The basic is different from the Speccy, and I could
not find any manual.. Second, I still want a Sam !!
So, if anybody has a second Sam to sell, or knows were I can
get one, I would appreciate very much.
Best Regards,
Marcelo
