See Simon Goodwin’s Sam Supplement Pages.
From the Website:
This web site is a cut-down version of a CD produced for the 2003 ORSAM show in Norwich UK. To find out how to get your own copy of that rare SAM-specific CD, read to the end of this page. To learn why you’d want one, read on now.
The Supplement was originally started to bring together Sam owners, to give them a “Contact” with other Sam owners for the swapping of information and the exchange of ideas.
Over seven years, between September 1990 and September 1997 60 disks were produced (including the double disk issue 12) plus sundry extras like the Christmas Special, SAMForth, and games compiled by Supplement publishers Daton.
Sam Supplement was born when Brian Mumford and Dave Tonks came up with the idea together of an offshoot of their disk magazine for users of the Opus Discovery Spectrum disc drive, aimed at users of the new Spectrum-compatible Sam Coupe computer.
Sam Supplement was a non-profit project run by volunteers, with issues priced at just 50p if you supplied your own disk.
As Editor Dave Tonks reported in the 50th issue of the magazine:

Sim Coupe

1996
SimCoupe emulates a SAM Coupé on Windows, DOS, Linux, Solaris, BeOS, QNX, MacOS X, Amiga OS4, Pocket PC and now the Sony Playstation Portable (PSP).
Work on SimCoupe was started back in 1996 by Allan Skillman as a Linux-based project called XCoupe.
XCoupe was written originally ‘hacked in’ in C++ and then re-written in ANSI C. This version was then extended into a Win32 port by Simon Owen called WinCoupe.
Simon took over the project and re-wrote the entire program merging the WinCoupe features back into SimCoupe and adding a plethora of extra ones including Dave Hooper’s native SAA Sound support, floppy disc and ATOM support.
