Writing about SAM Coupé

The SAM Coupé is an 8-bit British home computer first released in late 1989. Marketed as a logical upgrade for the ZX Spectrum it had 16 colors and high-res graphics, networking, MIDI and 6MhZ Z80 processor. It was the first computer I owned and where I really started to learn to code. There is still an active community on Facebook.
