Articles inside the revamped back issue of issue 9 of SAM Revival magazine (originally published in 2004, revamped in 2025) include interviews with two past SAM Coupe developers - Matt Round (now of vole.wtf fame) and Ken Jarvis (graphics artist). An extra page in this edition takes a more detailed look at Sphera, for which Ken designed the graphics.
A look at the undocumented #Z80 instruction OUT (C), (HL) [Often denotated as OUT (C),0 but that's not strictly true!] and how its behaviour differs between NMOS and CMOS core Z80 CPUs. There's an extra page looking at the first commercial release I've found that fails due to this instruction (on the #ZXSpectrum).
There's also a new 4 page article looking more at Manic Miner and Money Bags that are on the coverdisk of software. There's also followups and more photos added to the original news section.
