about people - one history of life spektrumista.

 About people.

 In general, we met not by accident -
we would still have to do this,
because the three of us were in one group's top 255
which means "Maintenance and
Repair of electronic equipment, course
second, odinadtsatiklasniki.
 Of course, this was a big coincidence. That the three 
spektrumista, but in one group - it's something.

 I MAXXIMUM, then just bought a
his comp buggy and once-toko rewrote
y Mr.Bee all programs - games, demos, sistemok.
 WBR was more advanced type of part
n / a. True, he did not enjoy a majority of its existing 
software programs but he had a new demo, and even zhurnalyya on 
this p / o did not even heard of. Think Only, he had purchased 
software, for which he traveled to AREASOFT! I became gradually 
copied from him it all ...  OTOman vaasche was in the Stone 
Age. He was 48kB Spectrum, all on tape, but

He was and is now a lot of books about
Speck, about his improvement, gadgets, and even
about its history.
 Frankly, we do not quickly pay first
one another note - a period
lasts for a new group a month or two, but
Here GR pinned on electrical engineering book with
circuit video port, and sat reading it.
 During the break, it seems, his neighbor was
inquire from him what the book
WBR and noticed her, too, joined them,
then they noticed me. So we met.
 In short, we soon found a normal GTR
128K comp with a floppy drive, and began to send each other 
floppy iS-DOS'a, each day one of us tried to write back

nubud something cool in the sense of the text.
(Then, for example, it can be published.)
 And so it dragged on training days. Our
group wore the proud title of TSR-# FF, I
mastered the codes, wbr mayalsya foolishness, GR did
video port.
 Long the video port he can not.
Oleg just like skorifanilsya with the teacher on Power 
Supplies, Victor Nikolaevich, quite a clever guy and knows how 
to make money. To be circulated storeroom, he pinned his spec 
with dodelannym, but not working video ports, and they are 
there, happened, sat up until 20:00 trying to see on the screen 
at least unsynchronized interference with this video port.  
This continued for months 2-3, then general relativity 
despaired and took the video port with computer home. Yes, they 
Nikolaitch found a bunch of stocks in the scheme's video, and 
he was not working much more stable. During the time that 
complex was in storeroom beside it hodilo a lot of dudes who 
intend vykusit of He kaemki. True, kaemok in a computer was 
not. Near the companies visited, probably polkolledzha, but 
every priduri did not know what it is such as pisyuchniki seems 
to have been averse would it play, but felt it was below

their dignity. It was cool when we
played there in Netwalk from Faceoff, connecting
pyatidesyativattny usilok to dvadtsatipyativattnym column! 
There, at the first levels a robust swotting!

 In general, at the beginning of the third year, it seems video 
port earned. This was of course well, cool. Personally, I was 
very happy, but Oleg was not very much. But it became clear 
that, in principle, we can do anything, and we decided to 
collect ZX-MODEMy. Oleg me a long time persuaded, but I 
refused, there should have been to wind transport, but I do not 
like. In general, I etched all fees (ie

three), Oleg wound three trance, WBR, too ...
decided to make a modem ...
 When we made them, they esstessstvenno,
not earned. Cannot was in face-Conder, they are all completely 
crushed ... but we Oleg all the upgrades and zashutili transfer

Images from the video port. P / O, written in
book leaves much to be desired. When interference on the 
transmission line is terminated and a If it is completed prog 
inexorably gave out the number of errors. In short, there is no 
was the feedback, as in Vicomm. More prog in case of 
insufficient volume just lost bytes - pictures turned into hell 
knows what.  Then we decided to collect GRT Vicomm3 +,

WBR and still could not collect it yourself, say,
he had no money. Does anyone have them?
 There is still a college student exhibition
Creativity was planned, well, I decided to drag there ZX-MODEM, 
(and Th, is working after all!) and Oleg put video port, R, L, 
C-meter and Gigometr. A video port to the article, was already

second version - with an increased density
moikroshem per unit area. Like the first, it was soldered on 
cardboard, all mikruhi in the socket, the connection - MGTFom. 
He looked better than the first one was smaller, which reduced 
the parasitic coupling, unstable diode elements were replaced 
ordinary logic. The beauty in general. And when I took him in 
hand, I felt that You can roll it into a tube, and it is this 
does not spoil it!  What kind of impression at all

three-story wire wool! Go tell
Oleg that only a high-precision
cool and hard work corrected
his assessment of the wiring practices to
Three to five. Sukhovey Alexei Ivanovich, a teacher, an 
exhibition, leads to the video port on each teacher, carefully 
turned the video port wired up and asked: "Well?"

Teachers did terrible eyes, and carried all ohineyu, for 
example: "This is not technologically! "" What? - I asked - it 
was would be technologically a poor student to plant two-way 
fee and share of this month stepedndiyu? "

 Yet there was one patsanenok, a sophomore,
but with big plans - so he was
"Running line" on the LEDs, so all
with the change came to see her and OTOmanovskuyu soldering.
 It was pretty fun to listen to what
talk pisyuchniki considering
video port, modem, the modem circuit. Of course,
It was bad enough that we did not bring with them a Spectrum 
when it was possible to show and videport, and a modem in 
action as well ... So it was much funnier! Firstly, I

wrote that "the speed transmission format
data and noise immunity depend on the modem
of software "(which in fact is true, this is true for
Vicomm). You should have seen what they did
eyes when I told them that the rate of
transfer unlimited! Even more stupid
wondered whether to go with him
Internet, and I said that if
corresponding to p / o is possible. And how many
issues to general relativity on the part's video!
 - How many megahertz clock speed?
 - How many megabytes of RAM?
 - What is the format of graphics?
 - And where I currently tyknite this connector? I
such on the system unit is not! (Keeping in
hands taped pyatishtyrkovy razemvideovhod).
 - Fool! This mouse shove (and us)
That's right, yes?
 - And where is the CENTRAL PROCESSING?
 - Why, - Oleg shows one of the
the smallest chips - a super-CENTRAL PROCESSOR SYNC -
K 174 CA 1911!
 - OO-Oh!
 One or two have even decided to order from me
Imagine this modem.
 And one particularly clever, and asked whether
through the port to receive real time video
on the screen say, with the camcorder. I firmly
assured him that it is possible.
 In general, we may rejoice in the glory. As
expected, we have not taken any
prizes. First place, however,
as always, got LOW
frequency, the second - another UZCH, the third -
running line. It's a pity of course, but its
freebie on the exam, we still got it.
