One SAM keyboard up for grabs - An apology

2001-03-31 Thread PGLOVER43
About a month ago I told everyone that I had a new, unwrapped SAM keyboard 
for sale, at the original price of £10.

Unfortunately, due to a corrupt file, I've lost most of my e-mails from the 
end of February and cannot recover them. This means that I don't have a list 
of those people who expressed an interest in the keyboard.

Could anyone still interested in this keyboard please contact me again? To be 
extra safe, please also send a copy of your e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], 
just in case my PC bursts into flames, or encounters some other disaster!

Sorry to put you all through this trouble, and next time I ask for names, 
etc. I'll print them out...

All the best,

Phil Glover.

It's a multi-machine emulator and claims to emulate the Sam. Anybody know
anything about it? Or whos behind it?

It uses the MAME core, but instead of adding modules for different arcade
games it uses them for different computer systems.  It did have SAM support
last time I looked at it (last April I think), but it was fairly primitive -
it did support line interrupts so the startup screen was correct, but I
think the colours were wrong.  The MESS screenshots page used to have a SAM
boot screen picture on it, but I don't know if the fact that it's been
removed means it's been discontinued.  I've no idea who was/is behind it,
but I did wonder myself (I don't remember seeing any names on the modules).

I was tempted to work on MESS for SAM emulation rather than SimCoupé, but I
thought some of the SAM-specific requirements to be a bit too awkward to fit
into the general architecture, without sacraficing performance.  I still
think I picked the right one :-)
