I know this is a bit old now - but seriously Frode, do you think the GoodSAMC list is anything even slightly approaching comprehensive? I would say not. Anyway, it's too late but I would've voted for www.worldofsam.org :D I would be quite happy to start off something similar to the AY project,

I'm with Gavin to share the lot ! Many things where created for SAM and are hold back because of the 'respect' and while time passes things get lost or will get bad as floppies won't live forever. Then things that where created with enthiousasm and took many hours of work will simply disappear.

However, I do take your point that floppy disks have a limited lifespan, so we should try to make sure that everything is imaged and catalogued. Perhaps we could maintain a list of what images exist - not necessarily to release the images right now, but to make sure that everything will still

I have to kind of agree here - When I first started trawling the web to see if I could get anything Coupe-related, the biggest suprise wasn't that there was anything available at all (which was quite suprising to say the least :) - it was that what is available is so closely guarded. When you look

Hi Gavin. I full agree with you and all those, who are thinking in the same way. And I offer you my help, as I can send you a list of my collected SAM stuff of more than thousands programs of all sort I collected in many years (worldwide) to show what was programmed for the SAM. If you want,

Gavin, You are right about this. I have spent many years with my SAM and every now and then get nostalgic to look at some of the stuff that was produced for it. An archive would only represent a nostalgic look at some of the stuff I never purchased; and would not purchase now even if it was on

Agree with Gavin - it's all well and good saying 'wait for the right time' but when will that time be? 5 more years, maybe 10? In the PC industry, that is a lifetime. Most of the people who wrote these things will have no interest in an old 8-bit machine anymore. -Original Message-
