I ain't used this thing in a year or two (or 2 issues of Fred), so if
anybody would like it, make me an offer. It has:-

512k memory
99% of Fred magazine
100% of Adventure club magazine (yes, yes, yes, I'm sad)
Odds sods - (around two shoe boxes all together of software)

PS. Does SimCoupe read Sam disks? - no forget that question, it's just
beggin for someone to flame me.

Not directly, but there is a utility that will read SAM disks and save them as
disk images (like Speccy snapshots) which can THEN be loaded into SimCoupe.

Don't know anything about the Windows version, but the Linux version of
SimCoupé will certainly read Sam floppies.

Yeah, but the menus are blue on blue, and there's no sound :)

Yep, sure will, but it has been known to be a bit funny with certain
floppy controller chips..
Mine works Ok using an Intel TX board, but only in proper DOS mode, ie
DOS/Win9x CommandPromptOnly.
I use the command line
SIMCOUPE.EXE -fd1 drive1.dsk -fd2 fd1: -externalMem 1
and have adisk image 'drive1.dsk' which is bootable and has a program
on to read the sectors of drive 2 to drive 1 and then i save drive 1
as a new disk image to use afterwards.
