With your Friendly Neighbourhood @samcoupe.com _everything_ can has RC2014 bus! 😆

I've auctions on eBay for a few #SAMCoupe game disks and a couple #retrocomputing related #books ending very soon this evening... www.ebay.co.uk/usr/quazar-s... SAM games: Momentum, EFTPOTRM, Defenders of the Earth Books: Commodork - The sordid tales of a BBS Junkie, Twilight Inventory

🧵... I often criticise Kobrahsoft's SAM Machine Code Course when this advert appears. When I first bought this I returned it under their money back guarantee. I was reacquainted with it as I got my hands on another copy when buying a pile of second hand software years ago.

Before easy access to the internet I found the magazine covertapes to be a wonderful introduction to PD demos, games and music from Europe where the ZX Spectrum also thrived. Logo was a fun puzzler, boosted by Ziutek of ESI's soundtrack.

Never had to have a speccy replaced under warranty, but when the membrane on my 48K failed I went with the £30 quid upgrade to a + rather than just a new membrane. I rather liked the new keyboard, but the main benefit had to be the reset button!

Sony stopping Playstation discs in 2028? Yikes! I'm still all for physical media, I even include real floppy disks in with SAM Revival magazine for the SAM Coupe computer! www.samcoupe.com for everything I do for the #samcoupe #retrogaming #gaming #indiegames

Reluctantly with the extreme weather warnings still in place with the train operators I'm going to have to cancel going to Synthesized tomorrow. ☹️

I have put together a SAM Coupé program for importing Spectrum BASIC from disk, including variables, auto-run etc. The translation is based on BTRANS from the MGT Utility Tapes to which I (after hacking it to bits) added variable importing and disk support.

Mechanical Keyboard for the SAM Coupe - since launch in 2021 they've been receiving rave reviews, they're the ultimate replacement for faulty or poor quality membranes. Choice of keyswitches available. Grab one at an offer price -> www.samcoupe.com/quickshop.htm #samcoupe #keyboard #retrocomputing

The badges did stem from a different project, so the first few designs are directly related to them. Originally, my mini computer PCBs - first the SAM, then the Commodore style - were designed as decorations for the sound interfaces I make for RC2014 and compatibles. But I then I thought they...

I've added some Pic'n'Mix options at samcoupe.com/quickshop.htm so there are discounts for choosing 3 or 5 from the entire range of PCB badges and keyrings.
