1) Do you have an actual Sam Coupe:
Yes
2) Does it work?
Yes - although I aint used it in quite a while. It's up in the attic
gathering dust. Make me an offer David - and I'll even return the games you
loaned me!
3) Do you still use it?
No need to - thanks to Sim Coupe.
4) How many
There seem to be two groups, those who want the same and keep using it, and
those who have one sitting in a loft somewhere. For those in the latter
group, are you willing to sell on some bits and pieces to those who are

There is quite alot of software / hardware im still after, and im sure other
people are.
Likewise... still a few gaps in my collection!

mine's not in the loft, it's in a cupboard! :)
The reason I haven't sold it, yet, is not just because of nostalgia and
(collectable) reasons, but because I still may have a use for it in the
future -- I love tinkering.
One project of mine that keeps entering my head is a native SAM filesystem
Hi All,
Just time to answer the poll while the coffee is brewing and my workstation
is compiling; and as you asked so politely:
Lets run a little poll. Can people fill in the following and reply

I did up until late last year when I gave it away to a good
Hi, just my input:
1) Do you have an actual Sam Coupe:
Yes 2 - One with Hard-disk the other no HD or diskettes
2) Does it work?
Yes
3) Do you still use it?
No - though I use the emulator a lot
4) How many bits of sam software have you got?
Lots
5) Do you still actively seek new sam bits and

The Sam is the best 8 bit machine - and the emulator running at

Mmm. Y'see, Cookie, we should have built that z8000 board. :)

In response to this I am just waiting to have a large enough house to set it
up in; preferably away from squeaky toys and rattle type devices that get
slobbered on by my sprog!
I do, however, think there is a massive nostalgia streak in me that doesn't
want to part with it. Let's face it; I grew
This is a great idea. It would be nice if you could bolt on different high
level languages on top of the IDE, like C that could be compiled to Z80.
This would attract more people to develop and test for the SAM.

P.S.I would have bought the Z8000 board. I remember Cookie talking to me
There are several free ide's available, there was one developed for the GBC
which was a near z80 chip. Trouble is I still like using comet :D

Now Harddrives are available it does make sense to have a new assembler that
correctly produces object files etc as it can use the hd for these (floppy

Looks neat. The plugin stuff is cute - we could define all the SAM

You asked us to call in so here goes:
1) I have two Sam Coupes, both 512k, one with single DD, one with Double DD
2) Both are pretty much OK, except the disc drives sometimes refuse to work, drive me crazy!
3) Used one or the other extensively until last September, as word processors,
