Get rid of junk!
________________________________
Observational sinkleristy
have long pointed out that the price of computer repair
virtually decreases regularly indexed, as opposed to price
themselves computers. You can even explore the reasons for
causing, sermyazhnaya but the truth is
that the cost of repairs has
tendency to increase with increasing
their number, and the demand for repair services significantly
less dependent on price than
you would expect from
side. Not far off,
when your computer will be easier to paint and throw it away
and buy new than repair. In all civilized countries used in
blocks diagnosis and primitive substitution nodes. The failed
unit is replaced in Company - the manufacturer or disposed of
in the garbage disposal. Only idiot in the West can come in
idea of resoldering chips. By the way, the firm - the
manufacturer does not repair well received parts! If she does
determine the cause of exit system, it is only then that
to adjust the technology or
design for reliability. D E W E B L E to produce a new site
than to arrange repair. Perhaps the reason we bytuyuschey
Practice repair paradoxical Russian soul and specific creative
urge, but economic laws operate with
inexorability hydraulic
press and so on have to unlearn this needlework.
But to return from heaven to
land. Virtually all computers manufactured by self-made or
pirates neremontnoprigodny. Also, can repair only
asserted failure to issue guarantees only that
troubleshooting. This
same type of fraud rather than
business; computer is transferred from
inoperable as a semi-workers, which may well
it before, and was. Lead the computer in working condition
only by tampering, and
it is very expensive. Now, examples
design features
very frequent, and
leading repairer of preinfarction state. Soldered
drives, and pasted the details
board, connecting strands of such length that get close to
board with an oscilloscope, to say nothing
with a soldering iron, it is impossible. Web of wires
MGTF-0.035, which come off at the slightest touch. The same
wire, lying on a high-voltage transistor network, and vice
versa, network wire without solder
tubing and underlying fee.
Network source, set
under the drive. Metal
housing search grounding point
which turns into a research and development.
Undocumented invention of unknown function.
This list Zaletov far from complete. In practice, this
leads to the fact that virtually
Each refurbished computer cheap execution repaired again within
the warranty period. And no brainer, that the free warranty
repair double the starting price.
Now for the completion, extensions and improvements.
Computers, collected in 90 - 93
years, it is now unlikely to satisfy their respective owners.
These things phenomenon is called obsolescence. The first
impulse - is throw with a soldering iron at the ready
on your computer, but not in a hurry to do it. Perhaps
described hereafter you sober.
If you can connect the drive and boy (unknown
just how reliable, durable and easy to use
get the car), then
printer connection is required something - what engineering
knowledge (for example, is different than Signal and ground
instrumentation, Why do I need a source of negative bias in the
RS-232 and where can I get it, how to move from Standard IRPR
to IRPR-M), and only turbirovanie beyond the power even
engineers. And it's not a qualification.
Machines, which were issued before 1994
year are asynchronous circuit
formation of system clock. At 3.5 MHZ it passes (though not
always) to 7 same MHZ those sheds with outbuildings
are leaving so that
happens, they do not "collect" and
using a half-dozen corrective capacitors. Each machine requires
a unique turbiruemaya and literally jewelry
settings; of glyuchnosti and reliability better keep quiet. Of
course, neither of which commercially viable universal
technology turbirovanie we can not go.
Now consider the option
when an attempt
enter into the machine all of these innovations and so - what
others, very tempting
things. The result obtained by APB - the shed is falling apart.
If this process is delayed
in time, the authors often
baffled them as their own
debugging, let into half
earlier. Repairmen are powerless, because a creative
tuned prolific sinklerist - apparatchik can download dozens of
job experts.
"Shine" offers an alternative technology - replacement
boards. Thank God, drive, enclosure and
Keyboard factory, ie,
standard and quality of execution.
Conditions are as follows. Turbo charge KAY-256/3SL/TURBO
(About it you can read the article
in this issue) at the time of publication is 200.000 rubles,
the work associated with removing the old contents of the case
and installing the new electronics, coupled with three-month
warranty - 150.000 rubles. Of this amount may be
deducted the cost of liquidity previous content - the healthy
BIS - is 45.000 rubles (AY8910,
27512, KR1818VG93, Z80). Installing a new power supply if
necessary - More
price of 35.000. Owner will be
only when necessary to resolder limit switches peripheral
devices - TV, TAPE, JOYSTICK.
The proposed overhaul makes sense to do only
machines in standard housings
(From the system unit "Corvette")
with a serviceable disk drive and keyboard. If the cabinet is
self-made, then additionally charged
50.000 rubles, keyboard block -
50.000. If the drive is faulty
- More 50.000 rubles. It is easy
note that at confluence of all
these adverse circumstances, perhaps it makes sense
thinking about buying a new
computer.
Obtain more precise information and to order the proposed
service, please call:
(812) -159-55-69.
P.S. Workshop "Shine" on
currently carries out repair:
- Disk Drives - 45.000 rubles;
- Computer "ZX-Spectrum"
disk configuration - 120.000
rubles;
Also shop selectively
buying the parts old
computers of the above type.
Earnest request: first,
will call and discuss all the conditions before you go to the
computer!

KAY-256/3SL/TURBO
First of all, it is a constructive solution board. The board
has three system type connector "SLOT", one of which is engaged
in full-time unit - floppy disk controller. Later
planned to combine the controller with floppy controller, hard
disks under system IS-DOS. The two remaining
slots may be involved
under the existing controller and mouse
Controller IBM-XT keyboard.
All connection fees to the outside world except for supplying
Power +5 v DC (+12 v is generated on the motherboard built-in
conversion) is carried out
through standard connectors,
established at the forefront
board. This allows to dispense with the case.
Decoding Port Address
quite sufficient to ensure that they are conflict-free
work and the level of
software compatibility (about
97%). As shown, the vast majority of programs do not work
created by computers, such as "Pentagon" and
incompatibility is related primarily
all with their original features. Apparently, these programs do
not go, and on the company's apparatus. Port # FF absent
since its installation is unlikely
can be considered justifiable because of
small number of programs
critical to its existence. Access
programs to additional 128k

The basis of computer circuitry laid synchronous digital

quite sufficient for
computer TURBO - mode.
TURBO - mode provides
coefficient turbirovanie 65-75%
for RAM. Unlike other
ways of its implementation,
KAY-256/3SL/TURBO processor operates linearly in time and
address space of RAM. In other
words, the time of the fragment program does not depend on
its location in memory, and phase

execution fragment. This time
can be calculated up to machine cycles, given the known changes
in the duration of machine cycles. This opens new opportunities
for programmers who develop
operating in real-time programs, such as
high-speed DACs, ADCs, speech synthesizers direct coding.
Management TURBO - mode can be performed by hardware (the
button with detent), so and software, or a signal to
bus.
