It was the first-rate games machine which also had a decent multitasking OS and some rather nice music apps (Bars & Pipes springs to mind). Compared to the Amiga the Sam was an abject and total failure as a Spectrum emulator (the Amiga does this very well in software, although admittedly slower on the A500 without a processor upgrade) a games machine (no comment needed, I think) and as a business tool. The Amiga was more expandable, more programmable and vastly superior in hardware. Believe me, I loved playing with the Sam and it was an important step for me as a programmer but really the Amiga was in a different league. Actually no, it was playing a whole different game.
