I know the need for a bigger house, im not single so my wife nags me about the number of old computers. Ive got Amigas, Sts (with mono monitor - that was hard to find), just about all the spectrums ever made, c64, PCs, megadrives, N64's, Snes, 2600's etc.etc.etc.
But my Sam is still my favourite :) A. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Winkless, Geoff Sent: 16 August 2002 10:42 To: 'sam-users@nvg.ntnu.no' Subject: RE: Linux Format > Nahhh, your missing the point.

IIRC Andy Wright has said the ROMs can be distributed. But yes, I was one of the first batch of Sam owners. > Am I just mad, probably. Hehhh. Yep. > On the point of a debugger, ive already got one for the actual sam, > TurboMon, now who wrote that? :) (And yes its an original) *chuckles* there's nothing like a hardware debugger though. Some things just don't behave the same way when you have a debugger running. The overwhelming advantage of emualation for me is that I can have my spectrum, my Sam, my ST, my Amiga, my BBC and Archimedes, all of which I've owned at some point in time (although the Amiga and the ST were sold on) without needing the space or the acres worth of floppies/tapes. If I were single I'd probably have the house full of the originals. But I only have one room to set aside for tech stuff, which (when I have three PCs and a laptop (running as a 'net router) in about 8' by 5'), isn't really possible :) Geoff Need to buy a bigger house.....
