thanks, i'll try that now! yep, i got a real sam!
i'm going to play with the emulator a bit first, then when i get the space, i'm going to set up, and play with the real one! I'm just happily converting all my software into .dsk format for the time being now! On another subject, does anyone know if the FRED magazines were released monthly?, i have lots here, but they are only dated 1991, 1992, etc. Is there a month relating to each issue number? i.e. FRED 43, FEB 1993, etc? I want to know, as i'm starting to dump/catalogue and rename all the sam coupe stuff out there, to release as a nice romcenter.DAT file Cheers Dean (AKA Bleugh on IRC #newnet #retroroms) > -----Original Message----- > From: Simon Owen [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 14 February 2001 12:57 > To: [email protected] > Subject: RE: Errr > > [I was expecting 1001 replies to this, but not a single one!
