________________________________
Zdravstvuyte! So you dobralis to samogo neobychnogo (a mozhet
and net) razdela in our boarding zhurnale. A zdes
prodolzhayutsya (and zavershayutsya) otvety nA naibolee
chasto zadavaemye questions on Amiga-platforme.
What takoe "Autoconfig"?
Ha sistemah other computer you have konfigurirovat
karty manually through tak nazyvaemye "jumpers" or
DIP-pereklyuchateli, in order to determine adresa and (or)
vektora preryvany. This dostatochno long and HOW pokazyvaet
praktika requires dostatochno deep znany system to izbezhat
conflict between simultaneously used razlichnymi kartami.
Mehanizm "Autoconfig" used nA kompyuterah Amiga, allows
fully avtomatizirovat this
procedure tak that polzovatelyu
there is no need vnikat these
detali. Tak that rasshirenie Amiga
not really predstavlyaet
reconcile complexity.
Can Amiga rabotat with
computer networks?
Naturally, you can ispolzovat computers semeystva
Amiga tak same for raboty networks. Mnogozadachnost AmigaOS
dazhe znachitelno uproschaet this zadachu. You may freely
rabotat with Novell, DECNet, AppleTalk, TCP / IP and other
networks "Port-to-port". Tak that you will
rabotat with PC-compatible or
Apple with no problems. Nailuchshy rezultat dostigaetsya at
ispolzovanii kart Ethernet or Arcnet. Ha Amiga takzhe there and
some of his standartov. Amiga prekrasno sebya chuvstvuet and
UNIX-like setyah.
What znachit - "Amiga videosovmestima?
Kazhdaya model Amiga imeet
standartnuyu opportunity rabotat
with graficheskimi rezhimami and chastotami, identichnymi
televizionnym. Most other kompyuterov
dostizheniya for this tseli nuzhdayutsya in spetsialnom
"zheleze. Lyubaya normalnaya programma nA Amiga mozhet rabotat
these rezhimah, while TIME HOW nA other mashinah unto you
neobhodimy spetsialnye versii programm, prednaznachennye for
it.
Pochemu Amiga chasto primenyaetsya
in videostudiyah?
When rabote with videooborudovaniem ochen vazhno to Vse
Charger were chetko sinhronizirovany mezhdu themselves. Amiga
imeet standartnuyu opportunity sinhronizirovat conclusion
izobrazheniya on vneshney chastote. Vneshny interfeys,
nazyvaemy "genlock" generiruet this chastotu for Amiga, a
takzhe pozvolyaet produce nalozhenie signala from kompyutera nA
other videosignal. Chasche vsego eta opportunity ispolzuet for
sozdaniya titles, nalozheniya teksta (naprimer reklamnogo) nA
kakoy any videorolik etc. Amiga imeet broad bazu programmnogo
obespecheniya to the objective of the these, a combined with
fast videovyvoda dinamicheskoy grafiki, pozvolyaet quickly and
kachestvenno sozdavat videoroliki for the objective of the
razlichnyh. Naprimer on kabelnogo TV studios can ispolzovat
Amiga to scroll krasochno oformlennyh, dinamichnyh
reklamnyh zastavok or programm
peredach aired in realnom vremeni, so e. bez neobhodimosti
zapisyvat these videos nA videomagnitofon. A title that
blagodarya kachestvam (Lo mashina iznachalno sozdavalas with
these uchetom zadach) Amiga and ispolzuet
ochen chasto in videostudiyah many stran, a in chastnosti in
our boarding gorode.
Which of the sebya predstavlyaet grafichesky rezhim "HAM"?
This rezhim yavlyaetsya one of the
standartnyh graficheskih rezhimov
nA Amiga. With this rezhima Amiga mozhet otobrazhat
mnogotsvetnoe izobrazhenie using while sravnitelno nemnogo
operativnoy memory is.
Ha kakom printsipe rabotaet this
rezhim?
Roughly speaking, it rabotaet nA
printsipe is evident from the plug nazvaniya: HAM =
Hold-And-Modify (Uderzhivat-I-Update). HOW and Other
graficheskih rezhimah, imeetsya bazovaya palitra, Where are for
kazhdoy point izobrazheniya hranitsya nomer ee tsveta. In
starom rezhime (HAM6) is 16 tsvetov (4 bita), a new (HAM8) - 64
(6 bits). Teper dobavlyaem 2 bita
and controlling of poluchaetsya 6 bits
for HAM6 and 8 bits for HAM8. These
Bits ukazyvayut, kakoy of treh
tsvetovyh komponentov (R, G or
B) neobhodimo modifitsirovat
(Update), while TIME HOW large screen
Other ostayutsya neizmenennymi
(Uderzhivayutsya). Takim obrazom,
deftly manipuliruya with this possibility, we can poluchat
izobrazheniya high kachestva at malyh zatratah memory is. In
rezhime HAM6, with 6 bits udaetsya a 12-bitnoe izobrazhenie (up
to Tsvetov 4096), a in HAM8 - 18 bitnoe (up to 262144 tsvetov).
Konechno y rezhima HAM Apartment belongs and nedostatok -
zavisimost tsveta point of tsveta
predyduschey ey.

Does it make sense prodolzhat razvitie temy about Amiga?
Vobschem ask vas pisat (in redaktsiyu) or call
(In redaktsiyu or unto me). Budet nice to get LYUBYE questions,
feedback, pozhelaniya, etc. (including chisle and kriticheskie).
Although in principle, is not so all
and bad, because as I said, one question still Received.
Several people have asked about the price on the Amiga. Well,
the question is absolutely logical, but unfortunately rather
complicated. In Basically, this question generally
impossible to give a clear answer. Due to the weak Amiga
prevalence in our country, virtually no secondary
established prices. Therefore, I can
provide only rough limits
prices for the "bare" (without the bloat)
machine. So:
$ Amiga500, Amiga500 + ... 150-350 $
Amiga600 .............. 250-400 $
Amiga1200 ............. 500-650 $
With regard to a variety of additional hardware and prices
"Heaped up" cars, then there
very difficult to say anything
defined. After all, the price in a market environment - the
concept is complex and depends on the heap of factors. For
example due to ignorance of the real value of the car, one
person will sell it for a ridiculous price, and the other for
the same reason, may "Hall". So that the issues
on prices for anything specific
do not hesitate to call me, I'll try to help.
And now an important message for
those of you who are interested in
the fate of a computer Amiga, but still
have not heard the news: "Amiga
Technologies GmbH "was sold
U.S. firm "VIScorp".
As is you could read in the third issue of "ZF" in the
"Amiga-news" - about a year ago German firm "ESCOM" bought out
the firm collapsed "Commodore-Amiga" all rights to the Amiga,
organizovala subsidiary company "Amiga Technologies GmbH" and
restore production. And now its owner, having paid
$ 40 million, was "VIScorp".
The representative of the "VIScorp" said:
"We are all" amigovtsy "from the beginning, and do not intend
to kill her." According to preliminary information "Amiga
Technologies GmbH" remains in Germany, with the old leadership,
and "VIScorp" has big plans for the development of Amiga.
Unfortunately the official information from the "VIScorp"
yet, but in the next issue we hope to
details of its plans,
and may be already on the results
its work. So we'll
one of the last interviews
Jay Miner, the "father" Amiga,
who died in 1994.
See you in autumn!
