More about the book

The SAM Coupé, an 8-bit British home computer launched in late 1989, aimed to provide a seamless upgrade for ZX Spectrum users. Designed by Miles Gordon Technology, it boasted features that promised significant performance improvements. However, its potential was hindered by a limited library of commercial software and fierce competition from faster 16-bit processors, ultimately leading to its financial failure despite its innovative design.
