Welcome to A.Org!

I also went the ZX Spectrum to Amiga route (with a brief hiccup for a year with the Atari ST before I came to my senses!  :-) ) so you're not alone!

Hi,

I was curious about the SAM Coupe, but not curious enough to buy one at the time! I got my ST in very late 1988, finally lured in by all those Silica Shop adverts shown in "Crash" magazine! By that time, I'm not sure if the first SAMs had been produced, even though the machine had been mentioned/launched/rumoured about!

Wouldn't mind one now though, but they seem to go for high prices on the likes of eBay, and stuff-all chance of finding one in New Zealand anyway!

@TB: ouch! That would have been one expensive Amiga, even now, but especially considering what £1000 would have bought back then!!!

@Rob: I'll have a look for a SAM emulator (any you recommend for either Linux or Windows?) but generally stick to emulating things I've either owned or used extensively. I might make an exception in this case though, due to its closeness to the good old Speccy!
