I’ve submitted a couple of disks that were missing from World of SAM archive. Issues 4A and 4B of diskzine SCPDU — SAM Coupé Public Domain Update.

Photograph of SAM computer with a disk partially inserted into the floppy disk drive, and two more disks on the desk in front of the machine. Very carefully staged and photographed to give the impression of ineffably cool nonchalance. Text on the frontmost disk reads “S. C. P. D. U. ISSUE 4A, Everything you need to know about Public Domain”Photo of a pretty standard PC 3.5" diskette drive connected via ribbon cable to a Greaseweazle doodah. Someone really cool has put stickers on the disk to prove how cool they are. Text on the stickers reads “LETS GET PHYSICAL” and “DS0” (hinting that the drive is wired to the Shugart standard rather than the more common “IBM PC” way of doing things. Did I mention the owner of this gear is really cool?)
