Hello. I would like to receive information about fees KAY
following plan:
1. Prices (plus the periphery);
2. Brief description;
3. Compatible with Scorpion ZS-256.
With regards to the third paragraph: I have 5 years
was Scorpion, but misfortune: he
"Fly", because It was, as I later found pirated products, I
could not repair it in the "Scorpion", and their
Boards are now quite expensive. I am therefore very interested
in compatibility with KAY Scorpion'om in programmatic and
technical (Hardware) parts, ie Port # 1FFD, compatibility with
ProfPZU and just ROM from Scorpy, because I'm very used to and
I can not live without the shadow Monitor - debugger. I'd also
like to know about compatibility with peripherals KAY Scorpy
(General Sound, GMXi etc.).
Self-addressed envelope and send
look forward to hearing from you soon
Sincerely.

Hello, N!
1. On boards KAY:
1.1. Prices: sm.pratss list.
1.2. Brief description: sm.reklama.
1.3. Compatible with Scorpion ZS-256.
KAY and Scorpion, with all its external
similarity - they are different machines. Although
compared with other Spectrum-clones
they are the most architecturally similar. They
are fully compatible at the architectural level Spectrum-128,
partially compatible level of 256 KB (control bit extension
256K RAM is the same, but the ability to make some other bits
have different functions). There is no compatibility in the
shadow monitor SMUC'u because they involve a joint
installation. The manner in which it done in Scorp'e was
recognized in 1996-97 years. unpromising and developed KAY
ideologically, conceptually and, of course, circuit the other
way. In This fully applies to the GMX. The problems that did
not resolve Scorpion'u (or managed to solve only partially) in
KAY'e solved completely when SUBSTANTIALLY lower cost and
therefore price. "Soldering", which is inevitable when
extensions Scorp'a completely excluded KAY'yah. Probably your
machine out of failure is a result of "soldering iron"
ie as a result of unprofessional
intervention in the computer. "Pirate"
the origin of your car's just an excuse to withdraw a claim as
a loss-making operation. Whether car brand, the result would
the same. in ProfPZU a professional is only an approach with
which money is separate from the population. There is no other
relationship to professionalism ProfPZU no. B KAY'e functions
performed ProfPZU assigned to the OS (operating system)
ISDOS, which sits not in ROM, and RAM
(Or on the screw) 1 MB (KAY-1024). Very
sorry that you have thrown out a number of
money down the drain, once as a result of
"The broken trough". But it is a question for us
Scorpion, and not to the firm C Nemo.
As for the controller debugger, then
it really justified to V.2.95, - not
above. In KAY-1024 is currently the shadow
Monitor not available, but at the moment
being made to install in KAY-1024
Monitor STS.
KAY compatible with standard extension bus Nemo-Bus, which
are produced by independent firms (eg, GS, Kempston MOUSE,
XTR-modem). GMX is not a busbar EXPANSION. If you try to
install it in KAY, it is likely everything yourself, as now,
the "the broken trough", as a "soldering iron" in its purest
form. Pay attention to items in the Advertising: "Any dopayki /
free soldering manufacturer (ie, firm C Nemo) Which WHATSOEVER
obligations. "Do not need to shove his hands to where the head
does not climb. No one is required and will not tolerate
losses, eliminating the effects of nonprofessional of the
hardware - it Very expensive. Ask the company to establish
Scorpion GMX you in charge, and this all together in a working
form, with a guarantee Sent to you. Do not forget to ask
price.
As a compromise, I suggest you pay Scorp-256 (not
Turbo - turbo-board buggy and trade
their own peril) with the shadow businesses not newer
than V2.95 (see p.1.7 price list), of course, used (used)
because Pirate production deal is not good. and it is not
profitable, KAY more technological.
