"I think you should discuss it off the list. It has nothing to do with Sam Coupe."
Not 100% true, if the box was used to run SimCoupe. Not as nice as actually having the real thing though (and they are not too expensive on Ebay). It might be a more robust way of taking "your Sam" to a show if you didn't want to risk your Blue (or Black!) footed friend, especially if you are flying.
