For the 2nd time David, make me an offer. Don't you read my posts?!
As far as I'm aware it's in full working order, and with some software, plus
the software you 'loaned' me many moons ago. If you do make me an offer,
I'll dig it out the attic and check everything's working OK.
From:
1) Do you have an actual Sam Coupe:
Yes
2) Does it work?
Yes - although I aint used it in quite a while. It's up in the attic
gathering dust. Make me an offer David - and I'll even return the games you
loaned me!
3) Do you still use it?
No need to - thanks to Sim Coupe.
4) How many
No - apparently I'm Bob Brenchley, and I'm hiding behind a pseudonym!!

Ultimately though, it's still not your right to force copyright. You can go
the abandonware route, but you can't just blindly ignore it - or try to
badger people into doing it.
This is the exact problem I have with the Slashdot monkeys.
