==The SAM Coupé==
MGT started working on their own [[home computer]], the [[SAM Coupé]], early on, while profits from MGT's other product financed its development. The SAM was essentially a ZX Spectrum 48K-compatible system with enhanced graphics and sound, more interfaces, expanded memory and a new [[BASIC]] interpreter. The machine was eventually launched late in 1989. While technically advanced, it arrived too late to establish a market and resulted in the company's demise. The rights to the +D interface were sold to [[Datel|Datel Electronics Limited]] in an effort to finance the SAM Coupé.  Alan Miles and Bruce Gordon bought the assets of MGT to form [[Sam Computers]].  However, that was a temporary reprieve and that company also ceased trading in 1992.
