End of an era. #Zilog EOL'd the #Z80 over two years ago, now parent IXYS/Littelfuse issue EOL notification for all MCU lines. Got my first Z80 in a #ZXSpectrum in '83 then #SAMCoupe in '93. Made my own Z80 stuff since late 90s. Designed industrial equipment with eZ80 in 2003, plus co-pro on SAM.

EOL notification for all Zilog MCU.

MGT met their umpteeth deadline, with several hundred SAM Coupes shipping out for preorders in December 1989, priced at £169 for the 256K/cassette model. The disk drives were running late, following months later in March 1990.

Sadly, this is what some companies did for SAM Coupe support. Delta Charge by Thalamus advertised as for Spectrum and SAM Coupe. But it was purely a ZX Spectrum game - look at the instructions for SAM owners: Load Spectrum Emulator. Deep sigh. Plus it was a pretty crap game.

Some of us still make them! I started 'SAM Revival' for the SAM Coupé back in 2002 as just a mono laser printed magazine. It's evolved over the years, now being full colour professionally printed. I still feature real physical cover disks! www.samcoupe.com

I seem to be interested in cartridges decades after they were cool! 😁 In 2019 I made an interface to use the ZX Spectrum ROM Cartridges on the SAM Coupe, following that later in 2022 with an interface to use VIC-20 ROM Cartridges on the SAM as well. www.samcoupe.com

Known as "The Last of the 8-bit Computers," the SAM Coupé was an outstanding system, yet outdated right from the start.
