ORSAM in NTK
>From http://www.ntk.net/ - or at least it will be. >> EVENT QUEUE << GOTOs considered non-harmful We're as sceptical about online petitions as anyone, but it took just 47 signatures to ensure the resurrection of a 32- page "tribute" issue to YOUR SINCLAIR, covermounted with this month's RETRO GAMER magazine (in shops now, UKP5.99). Here's hoping that next weekend's ORSAM NORWICH SINCLAIR AND CLONES SHOW (10am-4pm, Sat 2004-11-06, Alec Bussey Scout Centre, free - presumably) is at least as enthusiastically attended, though the exhibitors (eg "Anglia Classic Computer Users Society will be selling keyboard membranes on behalf of RWAP Software") can always just sell stuff to each other, as happened from time to time last year. http://www.ysrnry.co.uk/cover1.htm - David McCandless!

RE: Re[2]: Email

I think that was the thing that upset me the most, I too had many conversations with Malcolm and his passion for the Sam was something we could all relate to because we felt the same way. With regard to Defender (which will be why he sent me the mail I presume) from all the information I have Chris still owns this and not Persona and he released it as non-profit freeware (Dec 20th 2001 http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.btinternet.com/~c.pile/) - the only reason I have it on my site is that Chris' website was shut down and I put together a page to keep it 'active' on the web as a service to the community *sigh* I have removed he download for the time being and if Duncan can prove that he has the rights then I will happily remove it (and send a copy of his rights assertion to Midway Games >:->>) - if he can't then it will go right back up again where it belongs - in the public domain. I also wonder if this means that anyone owed royalties will be able to claim them back, with compound interest :-) Dan.

RE: Moment of truth
> 1) Do you have an actual Sam Coupe: Two of, one main one and a spare to raid for parts. > 2) Does it work? They both do, although I think one of the PSU's is dead now. > 3) Do you still use it? Not really - a lack of desk space has relegated it to the cupboard along with the Atari ST I found in the loft when we moved :-) > 4) How many bits of sam software have you got? Quite a lot really if you include the PD stuff, plenty of games brought with cash accrued from working at the local shop in the early 90's > 5) Do you still actively seek new sam bits and pieces? Yeah, sort of - I need to get a subscription to Colin's mag as I could do with re-boxing one of my Sam's (the Sam PSU isn't up to driving everything on it really) but the stumbling block is getting an RGB -> VGA converter, there are plenty of Composite/S-Video converters out there but I really need to use the RGB outputs so that MODE3 8x6 is readable. I imagine you'd only need something to generate a higher sync rate so that the monitor could show it, After a brief search on t'interweb Ive found this gizmo http://www.keene.co.uk/cgi-bin/codesearch.pl?SBBVGA but it's 95 quid :-( But it would mean that I can add it to my desk without having to find room for the extra screen and use my nice shiny Iiyama monitor to boot. > 6) Would you buy a new game for the sam coupe if the price was right? Probably > 7) What price would be right if you would? Dunno, under 20 quid would not cause any problems. > 8) Would you develop a title for the sam still? Not really applicable :-) > 9) Would you help develop a title for the sam? Morally if not actually. > 10) Do you think that all the work put in to keep the sam alive is a waste > of time?

Using Sam on a SVGA Monitor
I remember some time ago that there was talk of how to get the output from Sam onto a VGA monitor but I've lost the mail. Anyway, it seems I now have need of such a device so I've been trawling the web for resources and I thought I'd share my findings - 'Taunt the Browser-less' as one of my mates calls it. There was some good information at http://www.hut.fi/Misc/Electronics/circuits/vga2tv/computer_tv.html about the way that these things work and the issues involved but was a bit too scary for me :-) I seem to remember talk of using monitors that can sync down to the lower horizontal rates so I had a look at: http://www.gamesx.com/rgbadd/caveatrgb.htm http://www.gamesx.com/misctech/rgbprimer.htm And it says: "A VGA monitor will not work. With only a few exceptions, a VGA monitor will not synchronize with a video display below 15 kHz horizontal sweep. Check your users guide, it will list the supported frequencies. Current VGA monitors have a minimum horizontal scan rate of about 30kHz. Amiga monitors will work. Atari ST (Colour) monitors will work. Arcade monitors (Raster only!) will work. Certain early model NEC Multisync monitors will work. Very few others will. If you do not have a suitable monitor, DO NOT USE IT!! You will, at best, shut down your monitor temporarily. At worst, a very nasty sounding high pitched whine, and then silence as your monitor kills itself trying to do what you want." Hmmm, didn't like the sound of that much. But it did make mention of this little device: http://www.ncsx.com/ncs1201/xrgb-1.htm Woohoo! Does the job, looks nice - but it's NTSC! D'oh! So, after a fruitless few hours I seem to be back to square one, either that or go out and spend the cash on a nice portable telly instead and stop looking forlornly at the 15" Trinitron monitor I have stashed in the loft. Bah. Anyway, what were the previous findings? I seem to recall somebody got something to work like this. Dan. Work: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Shirk: [EMAIL PROTECTED] VVeb: http://www.podboy.demon.co.uk/

I saw a bloke at the last Gloucester Show who had his Sam in a mini tower, he had got around the problem of a separate keyboard by wiring up his own set of individual keyswitches and slapping that on the end of a big ribbon cable. It looked a bit mad inside, but worked fine. If whoever was working on the PC Keyboard interface has done one, then I might have to look into stashing my Sam in a new case, since with the amount of stuff dangling off the back and the ATOM inside it's looking a bit cramped. Did I mention that I have an ATOM with a 1.2Gb Disc in it? :-) Dan.

Out Intranet server is called Kenny and some smartie unplugged it's network cables at the weekend rendering it off line. I had the pleasure of logging the following fault with the helpdesk this morning: "They killed Kenny! - You bastards!" :-) Dan.

Development on HDOS ceased due to Nev's hard disc going for a burton, if what the big guy told me is true[1] and has absolutely nothing to do with the "non co-operation" of this list. > There is BDOS, which seems from what I've heard, to be good is some > respects but fails because it does not allow you to use the hard drive > as one space. I'll try and add something useful to this comment: BDOS is a modified SAMDOS by Edwin Blink and is designed to operate with single floppy and/or the ATOM hard disc system. BDOS stores 800k disc images as records on the disc and then accesses them as a virtual second disc drive. It uses standard & extended BASIC syntax e.g. RECORD 1 to select records, READ WRITE LOAD SAVE etc.. HDOS is a "truer" disc operating system, but has a few nasty bugs and due to a large chunk of the source being lost[1], further development could be a little bit tricky. HDOS uses CALL statements for disc operations which IIRC are similar to CALL base+16,"program" You may download BDOS from NVG, or http://www.podboy.demon.co.uk/coupe/edwin/ [2] Dan.

[2] And before anybody asks I have no vested interest in BDOS, I'm just hosting it for Edwin cos I'm top geezer with lots of webspace :-)

RE: Letter
> So. Why did they have two controllers then? There must have > been a reason. I was reading an old issue of Format, where on Nev's Help Page there was a question about getting the error 'FORMAT DATA LOST' when copying between two drives on the Disciple/PlusD, and this was due to the (single) disc controller getting out of sync. It was mentioned that Sam does not suffer from this because it uses two. Nev might be able to shed more light on the matter, since he wrote the article :-) Dan.
