SAM Coupé ROM Images

Granted

From Simon Owen:

This archive contains many versions of the SAM Coupé 32K ROM image, released
with kind permission from the ROM author, Dr Andy Wright.

Thanks to Simon N Goodwin for supplying the files, which include two dumped
from pre-production hardware (and which only work with the early hardware!).

Beware - the early ROMs are very buggy, and tend to go mad once BASIC starts
paging. ROM 10 (version 1.0) requires the CALL after F9 or BOOT because the
ROM loads the bootstrap but fails to execute it. The address depends on the
RAM size:

On a 256K SAM:

CALL 229385

Or on a 512K (or larger) machine:

CALL 491529

bbc basic rom for spectrum

theres also a cpm version
any chacne of some conversion work for this or are programmers overstretched as it is?
was hoping i could sanpshot it in 48 emulator but its a rom and needs paging in from a rom box device on the 48 and 128 it runs in romram area only on +2ab3 - with ram only mode - shouldnt need too much modification - dont expect sam screen modes to work or 7 channel audio support…. or 1-4mb external ram support or the rest of the 512kb - 128kb if it did actually work with the 128 ram which i doubt - the colour screenshot on the site doesnt even have all 15 colours onscreen - dont forget to add pause statements to keep teh bbc model b much faster and better £499.99 than the sam coupe!

CPM perhaps?

There is a CPM version on the original site:

http://www.cix.co.uk/~rrussell/bbcbasic/z80basic.html

Possibly this could already run under SAM CPM?

If not, the starting point (if at all interesting) should be to get the source code from http://www.rtrussell.co.uk/ and modify that.

BBC BASIC under Pro-DOS runs fine.

I’ve conducted a (very) brief test using the generic version of BBC BASIC for CP/M from the site mentioned by Stefan.

I can report that this version runs fine under Pro-DOS.

However, some of the screen controls (like CLS) require the main BBCBASIC.COM program be patched with the correct control codes for whatever CP/M system you’re running under. A patch file and instructions are included in the generic BBC BASIC package. This patch file would need to be altered to suit the VT52 terminal system used by Pro-DOS. Fairly trivial for those with enough interest in getting this to work 100%.

Another thing to note: BBC BASIC for CP/M seems to like all BASIC keywords typed in upper case.
