For it is better RaspberryPi with SIM COUPE emulator. Small and cheap and with
more features. :-) All clones are only for fans.
Case on my picture is only one of more possible versions. I plan also other
cases. Main board will small (mini itx format) and will support different
additional boards with connectors. See here:
http://velesoft.speccy.cz/other/SAMCLONE_PANEL2.JPG
Will possible use also similar board for install to original SAM COUPE case,
different version to MINI ITX case and different to my cases. SAM 2 is not only
clone. Enable good compatibility with ZX128 and faster graphic operations, rom
reflashing, rom emulation... This project is primarily maked for me and my
friends, but will possible make more pieces. Real FDD is used only with this my
case. SAM 2 can be used also as ZX compatible computer but with all SAM COUPE
features as bonus :-) Case will support SD card (in ZX mode compatible with
DIVMMC).
Big part of USB/PS2 keyboards have ghosting effect and not support some keys
combinations in ZX games. For example problems with SINCLAIR joysticks, QWERT,
CURSORS+0, QAOP+SPACE, etc... Laptop keyboard contain only membrane, but is
possible with software filter eliminate ghosting effect. And TOSHIBA SATELLITE
laptop keyboards support most popular keys combinations in ZX games. Info about
PC keyboard ghosting test:
http://speccy.pl/forum/index.php/topic,1221.msg14678.html#msg14678
High priority is for me keyboard with usable keys combinations in games. Laptop
keyboard is small, cheap and is possible buy each type more years after release.
SAM 2 use universal adapter for connect any laptop keyboard and will use define
keys after first connect new keyboard (any membrane). Each user can define own
keys layout.

Sorry, I am pessimistic here. I don't like this design. I don't like the look
of the original Sam Coupe either, why the hell would anybody want to clone it?
In my opinion it's weird, it's a waste of effort and skills. And why 3.5"
floppy diskettes? Another weird thing here. It's 2014, not 1984! I would
definitely prefer a standard PC keyboard and a computer in a separate box,
with flash memory cards (of any easily implementable type) instead of the
current design.
Best regards,
Aley

New computer compatible with sam coupe and ZX128. Contain real CPU Zilog Z80,
and CPLD chip instead old ASIC. Real SAA1099 and AY chip,... Don't contain any

It reflects poorly on me but Spanish isn't one of my languages. What sort of
machine is it? A genuine hardware compatible or just a Pi-or-whatever in a
suitable case? How much? When? In what form?
Very exciting.

Where do we find more information? I'd love to get one. I'll have to look
closer on Velesoft's website.
