Much like Optimus I have been looking for a Sam Coupe as it seems like a cool oddball 8-bit machine.
But now reading about the Enterprise128 I think I want one of those as well!
Seems like a real interesting machine, if I read things correctly both the graphics and the video chip are completely custom, unlike anything in other 8-bit systems?
Especially the video chip seems very capable for a 1985 machine.
Unfortunately it seems like it suffers the same drawback as the Sam Coupe - almost impossible to find and extremely expensive! :(
SAM Coupé is a cool machine also, and I think as rare as Enterprise.
Yes, it has a custom sound chip Nick, and video chip, Nick's capabilities are similar to AY, but the sound chip is responsible for custom interrupts, and memory paging also. Video chip works totally different than I saw on other computers.

:) It is quite complicated 1st view, but it is very well designed it makes the graphics screen very flexible you can mix graphics modes on the screen vertically, and set different colours , it is possible to do by raster lines without using CPU time. CPC and Spectrum screen addressing can be emulated easily.
It has one disadvantage, the 1st eight colour can be set by LPT, and the upper 8 can be set by BIAS register to the whole screen from grouped 8 colours ( it can be changed also, but in this case it needs CPU time)
@geco: yes, but description looks unclear, I understand only one after example. maybe Wiki must hsve technical article with examples?

The point there :) I will ask to put some examples to the wiki, the book should contain also examples for better understanding, i understood from examples also.
