I've a brand new SAM on eBay at the moment! It was won in a CVG magazine competition many years ago and stored in a cupboard all these years. Check it out if you're interested: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220245979532 Gavin
That's quite a find. But one thing, the auction says: "One of my pics shows the power supply without the plug and if you look closely you can see that the wires are tied up and completely unused.", and: "I have uploaded pictures of the test that I carried out." But the listing only seems to have one picture (the Sam in blue wrapping) and no obvious links to other photos. But maybe I'm being a dunce?

No, wait, the small picture at the top has arrows below it to flick back and forth. I was in fact being a dunce.

I know, it's a bit unclear. I might put a gallery of pics on the web somewhere for people to see.

Erm, in my infinite intelligence and perfectionism, I listed the new SAM as a "SAM Coupé". This means that if you search for "SAM Coupe" you won't find it. DOH! It ends today (Weds) at lunchtime for anyone interested - I say this just in case someone searched for "SAM Coupe" and couldn't find it. No more spam, promise ;) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220245979532 On 13 Jun 2008, at 2:17 PM, Thomas Harte wrote: > That's quite a find.

That's a bit bad, unfortunally it is not possible to edit (at least one day before auctions end), a eBay fault! There will be no second time for you to try, unless you stop the auction, but I would write something like "SAM Coupé (SAM Coupe)". I myself have two SAM Coupé so no need for it at moment, I just need a new drive, but this SAM does not have one, right? The current price is okay for a new SAM, so if I didn't had purchased a car this month, it would be a nice buy, even for a higher price and without drive. The TV Screenshoot looks a bit strange (cannot zoom it), maybe bacause it was the first ROM version?

The TV screenshot is a crap pic - the overlay on the SAM test screen is from the TV itself (for adjusting colour etc).

Hmm, well I didn't win. But that's not surprising. Faintly nostalgia-ish question: if I got my Sam from MGT (I think), the Christmas immediately after the price for a machine with a floppy drive dropped to £200, what year is that likely to have been? I'm guessing 1991 or 1992...
