On "COVOX" 'E and not only ...
A huge hello to all users and Hacker ZX-SPECTRUM.
After reading the second issue of the newspaper, I, Alex
(from FFC COMPUTERS), found some discrepancies with respect to
the scheme "COVOX". Also, I long wanted to share their opinions
with others.
Let's start with the "magical" device sound shaping, as
described STEVER'om and developed in Novosibirsk (FLASH INC.).
This device is, in fact, it is known in three schemes: SOUND
DRIVE 1, SOUND DRIVE 2 and LTP-COVOX.
That scheme is the simplest of them - LTP-COVOX'a.

This miracle is going to leak into the printer, if you have
a car ZX-LPRINT.
Now a few words from the heart! Dear STEVER, well, where are
you then found the 4 channels and 8 bit sound! Obtained, or 1
channel and 8 bits, or 4 channel and 6 bits! In terms of
program support scheme : While in nature, there are only a few
muzykalok from Novosibirsk (put them on the BBS). So, as this
scheme selects a lot of computer time, the writing of dynamic
programs that support this scheme is almost impossible. Just
want to point out that getting a fee SOUND DRIVE, do not be
surprised when music sound from the modem! Ports SOUND DRIVE 1
and modem intersect! And anyway, I think you first need to know
about the whole periphery, and then to develop new devices!
Teper about everything else!
First in SPECTROFON'e often skips statements
type: "DO NOT INTRO !!!". From this point of view, I
fundamentally do not agree, and I want to note: the one who
yelled obscenities at different Hacker, sit down and go though,
would GAUNTLET-3 (8 levels) without, described in the intro,
corporate cheat'a! And fans DEBILL'a GILBERT'a simple advice:
throw program MAGIC'om! Intro will not, and your disks will be
nice and tidy cemetery programs like that and you want to! And
the wording I SPECTROFON'a I want to convey: respect labor
Hacker, and if you do not like eternal life, so do not impose
their opinions to others, because at market by purchasing
programs, 50% of users are beginning to talk with the question
"Is there eternal life?".
Now, regarding the removal of protection! Hacker gentlemen,
the protection of rent - a good thing, but there are some "NO":
If the program is written "OCEAN", a intro and protection set
gja, then withdraw it at Basically not a bad thing, provided
that Vasya had poprodavat it market, has received little for
their work! But by placing the program on B.B.S. the first day
of the sale (and exactly what happens), you leave Vasya no
money and forces him or tie with this business, or use a
stronger defense, which takes no few problems simple user.
But if the same program he wrote Vasya, then it (at least
temporarily) the protection is better to leave! Otherwise,
Vasya flatly refuse to write anything else! Example: Star
Heritage did not have time appear on sale in Inforkome, and
there is already a lot of scrap (and even and left-wing,
non-working) version! I do not think that SHISOFT, get some is
200.000 rubles, wants to write for three months extension!
Think better of it, gentlemen, Hacker, and it will be too late!
Now, regarding "LOADER'ov. Gentlemen, Hacker, writing fashion
Recent TURBO loaders come in DOS only through
# 3D2F, rather than # 3D30! And also, do not forget about
computers and the Left 5305 disk drives, they inhibit the awful!
A USERS OF ADVICE: IF YOUR VEHICLE REFUSED TO SOMETHING
Georgia and, thus, HEAD NOT SHARITSYA software disk, and stands
as Rooted to the spot, do not tear HAIR, hammering Software
Drives Obscene language Hacker! It only takes Fed DRIVE (I'm
sure of what he calls 5311.5313), VISIT circuit board TRIPLE
JUMPERS and put it in the opposite SITUATION!
On it I finish my article and bid you farewell until the
next newspaper or a program! ALEXEI (FROM FFC
COMPUTERS).
