Use Martijn Groens emulator for 48K ones, it works with TAP, Z80, and PLUS
D format. I set a manual to the community list, but I can send this as PDF
to anyone who is interested.
Hi Aley.
I sent it you off list :-)

preserve both disk and tape images, and not just the most convenient
format.
I agree
Converting existing disk titles to tape files seems wrong to

I've implemented a quick test version that does a temporary disk image
switch when attempting to boot from a non-bootable disk. It loads only DOS
from the switched disk, returning to the original disk for the AUTO* file
search (if required). In the options you just specify the path of
I think that in the real world a DOS is on each disk (or at least 98% or
so).
Most of them probably But I rember a lot of disks by individuals that

to save on those precious 10K
Having 32KB ROM full of rarely used stuff instead of DOS is one of the
biggest mistakes of Sam designers.

I am such an individual, because I use a harddisk and with it
You're right in not being the only one. I think it's a great idea.
My current work around is having one virtual drive with DOS on so it's
always available and then just keep swapping images in the other drive.
Maybe if we ask Simon nicely. He will ;-)
Hello Simon. I would ask you nicely if

The only reason for any TAP support must be to archive the Flash!

The only problem is that most of the stuff on discs was only ever in
that format and sequential format like TAP is kind of no-sensical - what
happens when you want to write the high score table back to disc? Update
a file?

I don't think SAMDOS should be on each disk. It is convenient for using
the
disk with simcoupe
until simcoupe has a 'replacement boot' feature (hint hint !) that boots
dos from a virtual drive when
attemting to boot from a nono bootable disk.

So what do you think: Are games converted from ZX Spectrum worthy?
I mean should they be counted as Sam Coupe games, or not?
I assume we can skip regular ZX Spectrum 48k games which can be loaded (if
we have got some luck :-) into a regular emulator. As I remember, I made a
