I was going to post this yesterday (Tuesday) afternoon but I had some problems accessing the site from home so I held off - specifically, I could access the site at http://samcoupe.org but not http://www.samcoupe.org which just timed out. I also had intermittent problems with the ftp site. I've just come into work (ARRRRRRRRRRRGH!) and all works fine here so please let me know if you have problems.
Anyway, anonymous uploads are go - ftp://ftp.samcoupe.org and the login is [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please upload anything and everything SAM related, whether it's full games, apps, demos, disk mags, memorabilia - the lot. Except of course the obvious stuff such as Quazar's and David L's. Nothing will be made available until the 1st of April 2005 (we'll fool them all with the wonders of the SAM) which gives us our agreed three months from the 1st of Jan to contact as many authors/copyright holders as possible. I've put a forum up (and desperately hoping to avoid all php worms!) and I'd be grateful if you could make a note in there of any uploads you make, especially if they're remotely rare or unusual (in which case if you'd also make a note regarding anything you know about the upload such as author, year etc). The forum is at http://www.samcoupe.org/board - again I had problems with the www part, so if it fails for you, try it without. No need to register etc unless you've time! Next stage of the journey is to get a couple of wiki pages on the site - I thought we could try and compile a list of every known SAM title, with details. The other wiki page will refer to what contacts we have for who (although the details won't be published on the page of course). I'll get those up for this Friday, it will be great to have a complete list of what we know has been published for the SAM (with hopefully more to come?!) Anyway, login to ftp.samcoupe.org and get uploading - please don't let any programs get lost to the passage of time, go through those old disks over your Christmas holidays - yes, mine are over, but that's because I used up my holidays when it was actually busy in here, figuring it would be nice and quiet this week!
