SimCoupe does have some convenience features that aren't true to the

Well, here's a bit of history...

Just to change the subject quickly, on Ebay currently,
I see someone is selling all of their Sam stuff,
including 91 games and the machine (currently £16).
I have to add that it's not mine!
Curiously, whoever is selling it labeled the Sam a
Games Console. Not heard it called that before. ;-)

Apologies to all, hadn't intended my light-hearted comment to offend, and
Howard's absolutely right of course.
On to Sam stuff...

It occurred to me that with SimCoupe we could overclock the machine and
code
up stuff that wouldn't have been possible on the 6MHz Sam (except possibly
with the accelerator board, of course!). Do people think this destroys the
heritage of the machine or is it something they'd be happy to see
