SAM Coupe Arcade Development System (SCADS)
Does anyone have a working copy of SAM Coupe Arcade Development System (SCADS) program on disk The copies on world of sam do not work due to some form of copy protection -- Rich Mellor RWAP Services Specialist Enuuk Auction Programming Services www.rwapservices.co.uk
Re: SCADS
Hmm... my live with the Spectrum and its programs is much easier... but thank you for the hint, it could be a way of course. Its a strange world: The Spectrum is a "small" machine with big supply, the SAM is a big machine with Wolfgang BTW: Did anybody know about a SAM Basic Compiler? Or plans that it would be done?

Looking for SCADS manual
I have give up to look for a SCAD manual as it seems that nobody can or want to help out. But maybe I find a keen person who declares me the meanings and usage of some parameters which are used in orders such as ANIMATE 0,1 or more special SETINP 0,2,2,2,255,00020001 and more. If I know more about SCADs maybe I can create an easy to use muanual by myself and for Gavins community page? Thanks in advance Wo from WoMo-Team
RE: Looking for SCADS manual
I hope you dont mind but I've ICQ'd your request to glen cook (the scads author) ill let you know if he replies :) He's jut changed jobs so he may be a little busy at the mo... dont hold ya breath too long :) Unfortunately he no longer has any SCADS documentation tho (im sure this has been covered before along with the fat that someone-who-shall-not-be-named was ripping him off) ninge -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 16 August 2000 12:47 To: sam-users@nvg.ntnu.no Subject: Looking for SCADS manual I have give up to look for a SCAD manual as it seems that nobody can or want to help out.

I take it he didnt agree with BB selling the manuals on at £8 a time then? Not to mention making Scads as PD? David --

more info: only about 200 copies were sold... he set fire to the remaining 800 manuals as they were taking up about half of his garage ! you would think BB would have made use of these stored manuals before printing his own if he had permission dont ya? what else like this went on? ive missed like the last 7 years of SAM gossip :) -Original Message- From: Neil Holmes [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 03 July 2000 10:10 To: 'sam-users@nvg.ntnu.no' Subject: RE: scads the answer is no, he didnt give permission - and unfortunately he has no spare manuals... he burnt (?!?) them all a couple of years ago... sorry :( ninge -Original Message- From: Gavin Smith [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 01 July 2000 00:29 To: sam-users@nvg.ntnu.no Subject: Re: scads At 11:34 pm +0100 30/6/00, David L wrote: Brenchley was coming out with all sorts of Bollocks about Glen Be interesting to find out if he ever gave Bob permission to reprint and sell his manual - let alone to release SCADS as PD...

Wow... looking back, it's hard to believe how much optimism people had in the Sam market, isn't it?! I remember that Graham Burtenshaw used to sell something like 200 of each issue of Enceladus and made a tidy packet (well, enough to make an A' level student feel rich). Am I the only Sam user that didn't make any cash?! Andy

It was a fair price too... £24 or something when it first came out? I never made much, never expected to either. Shame.. scads was pretty good. fitz -- Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 11077801 Web: http://www.jazzyfrog.com

Re: Looking for SCADS manual
Only to remember my search for SCADS manual. To Martin Fitzpatrick: Hope your house moving continues. If you think you will need for longer with your house don´t you think it´s better to send me the original (of course you will get back) and I do the job. I guess I have read it has a lot of pages (about 300, correct?). Greets Wo from WoMo-Team

Re: Looking for SCADS manual
Once upon a time I asked for the SCADS manual and someone wrotes, he would scan it in and set it to the net. Hopefully that someone which name I not know yet is still alive, I like to know how things are in progess (if). Otherwise as I mentioned I like to do the job when someone would send me an original.

So I think it was you and yes - I remember poohsticks. I think .txt format would be the best for anyone who wants it also. If you have textdetecting (OCP) in your scanner software a textformat would be always the best. I can handle nearly all formats (rtf, doc, ansi, ascii) so for me personally PDF is also no problem. Thank you for your answer, I will wait. Wolfgang from WoMo-Team

Looking for SCADS manual
Hello. Since I see a great SAM revival here I am in a very good mood. So I have downloaded SCAD from nvg, but there is no manual. Can anybody help in this way? If someone would send it to me I can scan it and make Text- and/or PDF-file of it, so whoever it wants can set it on his webside for all. The manual will be sended back of course as fast as possible. Thanx for your efforts Wolfgang of WoMo-Team
