I have discoved a production datestamp on the SAMs PCB.
Just under the big hole in the center on the PCB it reads something
like KCC8949 which is the production date off the PCB.
89 stands for 1989 and 49 for week 49.
I've seen 8949,8950,8951 sofar and I'm wondering what other
productions dates
Hello everybody,
I found some suspicious files at NVG.
The directory missing contains some ZIP files marked as cannot unpack. I
unpack these files without problems. So why are they marked cannot unpack?
I assume that the man who did the so-called NVG dskification process used
some old PkUnzip

Well, I tested your tapes.
Good tapes, thank you very much.
All of them works in ASCD when converted from TZX to TAP. I am quite happy
for this, since some of them are quite nonstandard. I mean those TZX contain
some garbage, which is movet do TAP as well. But ASCD proved to take only
what Sam
Oh, I forgot to add that Shanghai does load but doesn't run correctly. This
is not related to tape loading, since as you know Shanghai never run
correctly in old SimCoupe/ASCD. (I don't know why.)

I have a question:
Where are these tapes from? Especially Shanghai. It says: Franksoft 1990,
but hey! Shanghai is from Fuxoft. Who made this Franksoft-copy? At least
it looks so genuine... :-)
Your Sinclair always changed the name to Franksoft
Look to the enclosed screenshots.
I asked Frantisek Fuka (just now) why there is Franxoft 90 at the title
screen of Shanghai game I received on a tape from Simon Owen. He replied
that this must be a work of a cracker.

Here is a description of what Fuxoft means. I cite Frantise Fuka:
First of all, I am from the Czech Republic and Frantisek Fuka is my real
name. To be more precise, there is a weird thing above the letter s that
cannot be reproduced in ASCII. The whole name sounds somehow like

Hi Aley (and everyone else),
If this was on a tape file, it's probably the version of Shanghai that was
given away on a Your Sinclair cover tape with issue 84, where the game was
credited to Franxoft on the cover tape pages.
I think they probably changed the name to avoid offence.Simon Cooke
Thank you very much! I never heard about this.
But, technically,
they surely didn't own the written permission of Shanghai's author
(1) to do the changes
(2) to distribute in on a cover tape
(3) saying that it really is a PD (public domain title)

No, because only the
If a program really is PD, then they don't need permission to distribute
it.
I only wanted to say that YS didn't knew it. I mean even if it was PD, they
[YS] weren't sure, unless they asked the author. You cannot believe to the
