Re: Norwich Spectrum and SAM Show (ORSAM 2003)
That was quick, thanks Nev. Erm, any idea about numbers through the door? Doesn't look to be too many from the pics or are they not representative of the whole day? Sadly only a dozen or so. Still it was good to put faces to names like I didn't with the pics :-) Hopefully better next year. book yer diaries now. I suppose I'd better get the retro-excuse in now - I was in Bristol trashing a rather large crappy network and replacing it with a nice shiny new one. And, as if fate enjoys depriving me of beer, I will be trashing a similar LAN in Liverpool on the 30th November when the MicroMart show is on. Arse candles. Dan.

Neat Atom interface there (dscf0016) is that jarek's redesign of the Atom or another version ? You're right first time - that one is Jarek's redesign. Colin.

Photo 13 Now there's and interresting looking SAM ... Barely see the SAM PCB beteen al those electronic boards. Too bad I couldn't be there and have a closer look at it. Just back from the show myself now ... after a 3 hour train journey! What fun... Photo 13 shows the second 'Sam In A Can' I have built - this one was a request from David Ledbury as he liked the look of my first one - the Sam PCB is hidden by a Quazar Surround and a SID Interface. Also in the 'can' is a disk drive, PC Keyboard Interface, Atom and a CF Interface. Quickly glancing through Nev's photo's I seem to have managed to evade the camera!
