Phil Symons
Submitted by Dan Dooré on Sun, 2008-06-22 21:02.Programmer, worked with Andrew Fish as Quantum Software. Best known as author of Wop Gamma and don’t ask about level 67 - it really was possible, once. But I’ve forgotten ;)] and a host of other lesser known programs.
Between here and there, but as far as I know not quite half way. Still writing software though.

Submitted by Frode on Wed, 2008-04-23 19:46. NewsIssue 21 of SAM Revival magazine is now out from Quazar. (Click here for pricing and to order…)
SAM Revival is a printed magazine with an accompanying cover disk of software and aims to be packed full of SAM Coupé news, interesting features, articles and interviews, catering for everything SAM related. The first issue launched in August 2002, and the magazine is now read by SAM users in 17 countries.
Inside the issue you’ll find all the regulars covering all the latest news in the SAM Coupe world. Feature articles include an interview from Frode Tennebø where he interviews David Gommeren and Rob Mies of The Lords. Gavin Smith continues his look back at some of the top SAM games, looking in particular this issue at Arcade Classics.
Colin Piggot looks at using the MMC / SD Card slot on the Trinity Ethernet Interface. The first half of the article looks at accessing the flash cards with routines for detecting, reading and writing raw sectors. The second half goes through the patches made to B-DOS to allow it to use the Trinity for mass storage of files. Rounding the issue off is the Developer Diary where Thomas Harte explains how he is tackling his work on creating a solid 3D engine on the SAM.
