To add to that, the screens shows all kinds of garbage at the moment when he
switches it on, and that is about it.

BTW; Martijn has just moved to his new house, so not to expensive :)

Hi Martijn.

Wish I could help! Maybe you can get one of Frans van Egmont?

Hello Frans van Egmont.

If you should read this, please think about, if you can help Martijn. Otherwise 
I see all kind of developments in BDOS and programm adaptions for harddisk in 
danger.

I wished to know how many SAMs are unused laying around...

What happened to SAMCo. Surely they must still have shed loads of them?

Also - as Johnna said is there anything going on. Are there any companiesl
 eft selling stuff for the SAM Coupe. All we seem to hear about on this 
list is SimCoupe which we can no longer get the source for so we may as 
well not talk about it. What's the point in discussing something we have 
no say over.

Anyway you can't beat a real SAM for the full effect.

Luke

P.S.How much is a Quazar Surround sound card? The website doesn't seem 
to be working properly. i.e. the price list don't work!

The website is in a bit of a mess as only part of the new site is so far
uploaded. Hope to get that sorted this weekend.

Colin has nicely sent me the prices of his surround sound card so that I 
can get lovely noises from my SAM, but has anyone in the SAM community 
created a graphics board for our lovely beastie?

I had one of the original graphics boards from MGT (the ones that were a 
complete con!) which Simon Cooke now has. Still I've got his technical 
manual ;-) What are the chances of producing a graphics board that would 
remove the processing from the Z80 and allow for some new funky games to 
be produced. Just an idea - that I am sure has been mentioned in the 
past.

Also what is the ATOM hard disk interface like - why is the disk split 
into 800K sections. Why wasn't a proper filesystem created to handle hardd
 isk properly?

He could always replace that dodgy keyboard with its own keyboard, the same
goes for diskdrive, atom etc. etc...

And in answer to Edwin, we tested it a bit and as far as i can see everthing
was still in place. we thought that maybe his scart-cable was the culprit,
but checking his Sam on my monitor and cable gave the same results. And
furthermore even without the Atom it would not boot or start (with spacebar
pressed off course).

ASIC maybe?

Because I dont think people could afford to spend thousands of man hours
designing MS Dos for SAM!

Seriously, it's fast, it works - and it's bug free... and more to the
point... BDOS is free! What else matters?
