In my opinion, today a PC display is just a cheap crippled TV set. If you go
and buy a proper fully featured LCD/LED TV set, you can get not only better
picture, but also a standard scart input on it. And you won't need to stick
with third party HDMI converters etc.

Don't we have SDF or something, which is a generic Sam disk format?
From what I understand SDF
It's just a simple solution, since I have never seen a real Sam tape. I just
know only what I personally saved with Sam Basic.
I don't support neither TZX nor copy-protected stuff, since I simply have
never seen any! Can't emulate nonexisting stuff (nonexisting in my life).

IT'S ALREADY DONE AND IT WORKS!

Here is some information I already posted a few years ago :-)
1. TAP files are tape images. They contain Sam Coupe files in tape format
used in ZX Spectrum emulators.
2. ASCD emulator can handle TAP files. ASCD emulates ZX Spectrum, ZXS 128
