Ok, was just curious.

Er, hold on...  SimCoupé is a SAM Coupé emulator, and Spectrum-only
features don't belong in it.  You can't just change the clock speed and
the ROM and have it run as a good Spectrum emulator - the timing is all
wrong, and there are many I/O differences between the two machines.
SimCoupé only has as many Spectrum-compatible features as are present on
the real SAM; if you want Spectrum emulation, why not use a Spectrum
emulator!?

Doing _decent_ Spectrum emulation in SimCoupé will introduce lots more
compile-time and/or run-time checks and make the code more difficult to
manage and/or slower.  There are plenty of Spectrum emulators out there,
so why don't you add your input recording etc. to one of those?

The comp.sys.sinclair FAQ has all this info: see
http://www.tjornov.dk/spectrum/faq/index.html or one of the various
mirrors.

I gave it a go as your ASCD docs said it works on NT/2000, but I didn't
manage it.  If you're doing direct I/O access it won't work, and you'll
get an exception for trying.

Even the ones accessing the real floppy drives?
