SAM Quartet
Submitted by Dan Dooré on Thu, 2006-06-01 20:40. DiskDavid Ledbury / Various
A short lived disk based spin off of ZAT.
The magazine was created due to various material which had been submitted to ZAT, which was unsuitable for a paper-based magazine.
After the first issue, discussions between Alan Miles and David Ledbury resulted in the creation of the SAM Newsdisk … the second issue of the magazine was created before the launch of the Newsdisk, and was a double issue to use up the additional material.
Public magazine took the name over, to rename their magazine to SAM Public Quarterly

It was originally edited by Steven Pick, although from issue 2 onwards, it was edited by David Ledbury.
Sam Coupé Adventure Club
Submitted by Dave W on Fri, 2006-05-05 18:48. Disk1991
The Sam Coupé Adventure Club (SCAC) run by Dave Whitmore (Technical Editor) and Phil Glover (Main editorial, reviews, articles, and artwork).
Other contributions were from Gareth Pitchford (Main reviews & other contributions), David Munden (various contributions & Sam Adventure System column) and Nigel Kettlewell (various contributions).
From Dave Whitmore’s Sam Adventure Club Homepage:
In the summer of 1991 Phil Glover contacted me after reading a letter that had been published in SAM Supplement. Phil described himself at the time as a ‘keen adventurer’, whereas if I’d been asked I would have probably said that I was an ‘adventure hacker’.
Before the SAM Coupé came along my ex wife Sue had got heavily into text adventures on the ZX Spectrum; picking up various titles from computer fairs, or buying direct from places like Zenobi Software. I wasn’t so much interested myself, but I allowed myself to be persuaded to buy a Plus D floppy disk drive interface and a 3.5 inch DSDD drive from an advertiser in the Speccy mags - MGT. At around the same time, Simon Goodwin broke the news about MGTs upcoming new super 8-bit machine SAM in the ZX Crash magazine
