SAM COUPE PRINTER.
Hello Sam User Group. ( Please mister Im tryintg to br an honest Sam User. ) Hi. ON SUBJECT.. But, Im not sure I can keep it up... OHHH!! Has anyone fitted their printer interface inside Sam. ( hard wired ) Alternatively, has anyone made up a cable to extend the interface beyond the back of the Sam. I am currently instaling Sam on a computer desk with a pull out keyboard shelf (draw ) and there is no room for a sticky out thing. Any observations on this one would be appreciated. PLEASE Why did'nt MGT put the bl***y thing inside instead of a whacking great lump out the back. I recon things like this put other maybe Sam users off. Also .. Please Mr Skillman, can the Simcoupe have a printer port. Simcoupe works fine for me, although the disk ( A Drive ) option could be worked on. I'm still having trouble with the SimCoupe slowing down when I use the graphical user interface. Is it just my machine or has anybody else got this problem. A THOUGHT.. I would have to ask this question twice if another group was setup. ( think again and don't take it all so seriously ). Life's too short for non preambles. Come on now people. I might be new here, but I've been with Sam since it made an appearance. Give me a break. Answer me. Bob Wilkinson. After a couple of whiskys or so on a very early Sunday morning. (Some sod woke me up having a to-do with his ex-missus ) Cheers.Bob PS. Just cos my name's Bob, don't mean you should ignore me.. ( only joking really ). PPS. I,ve ( me and Mick Sleight ) obvioulsly missed a lot of what has gone on in the Sam scene, if someone would like to bring us up to date, we would be most grateful. Do it direct and stay anonymous. ( did I spell that right ) (anoneemouse ).. a reply will come in the same way.. I shouldn't send this realy,but sod it I will. By the way, Does anyone want to buy the bits I put up here the uver day. 1 meg Mem+Sambus £40.00 I don't give a toss. But if you want it , its here. Bob Wilkinson. Feeling pretty good at the moment. Happy anyway, and I don't care a sod. PPPS, Are we allowed to tell jokes on here. Iv'e got sum goodjuns. Regards to all.. Bob W.Notice the dubbleuu. !!!

Personally I think not having a standard printer interface of any kind parallel or serial made the Coupe a rather eccentric design. I mean since the Spectrum 128 there has been serial and from the plus 3 onwards there was parallel but the Coupe made it an option yet fitted other less important connections. The Coupe is probably the last home computer not to have serial/parallel until the imac came along.
Re: SAM COUPE PRINTER.
The mutant SAM - the Elite did have an Printer interface built in. Malcolm's machcine had his Mouse i/f built into thecase - and I know a few others who either had this or the Printer i/f built in. The planned SAM Pro - kicked around a couple of months before SAM Co went down by Adrian Parker & Alan Miles would have had this, the Kaliedescope, and a few other neat ideas built in but thats another story! - Original Message - From: Robert Wilkinson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sam Usergroup Sent: Sunday, August 22, 1999 11:23 AM Subject: SAM COUPE PRINTER.

What did it look like? Was the printer interface nicely done? Was it still bbc type or did they just screw on a pc type connector? Were any other ports removed to make room?
Re: SAM COUPE PRINTER.
It was a screw up! Stick the port externally on the rear slope - just above the vents The disk drive was re-wired to be on the right hand side - and the printer i/f board was wired to the left hand space how did Adrian Parker describe it to me? Looks like an issue 1 Speccy inside , with cables all over the place. - Original Message - From: Martin Wilson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Sunday, August 22, 1999 12:24 PM Subject: Re: SAM COUPE PRINTER. > > > David L wrote: > > > > The mutant SAM - the Elite did have an Printer interface built in. > > > > Malcolm's machcine had his Mouse i/f built into thecase - and I know a few > > others who either had this or the Printer i/f built in. > > > > The planned SAM Pro - kicked around a couple of months before SAM Co went > > down by Adrian Parker & Alan Miles would have had this, the Kaliedescope, > > and a few other neat ideas built in but thats another story! > > > > I never say a Elite in the flesh.

Sam Printer
Come on now I'm trying to be sirrious. Has anybody hard wired their printer interface or is there a cable available to allow the interface to stand some way off ( couple of inches or so ) Will it work ok with a cable. ( I can make my own ) I've never heard of any alternative Sam machines. Why wasn't I told. MGT Blown out again. Bob Wilkinson. ( Sober now )

I don't think anyone would be that bothered about selling things and money if that were the case. :-) He'll probably say it's none of our business, but it'd be interesting to know why. Dave
