SAM Techy info wanted...
Regular readers of CSS may have noticed a clever chap by the name of Mike Wynne has been working on a very clever Spectrum Clone called Speccy Bob (unfortunate choice of name perhaps ;) ? http://www.speccybob.2y.net/ Well I've asked if he'd considered adding SAM Compatibility to the new improved bells and whistles model... which he is interested in, in theory at least, but would like some techy info Can someone provide some...? After all, this is the closest we're ever going to get to a new SAM! Thanks in advance David PS: Can u send any relevent info to: Mike Wynne [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks

IMO, to be worth doing it it'd need a fairly complete set of features, and that would be an lot of extra work. Even after paging/video-modes/IO/etc., the sound support would also require an SAA1099 chip to be included (unless it's something that can be on a unit plugged into the back, if needed). I'd be interested to hear what any hardware bods on the list think about the feasability... Can someone provide some...? After all, this is the closest we're ever going to get to a new SAM! If he's still keen after seeing the SAM technical manual, I'm sure many of us will be keen to help out with additional information. :-) Si
