So Hello again, our dear
readers. At this time we do not have time to write yet another
tragic entry ... And therefore make a small neliricheskoe
retreat.
1. Our mailing address has changed!
A new look for the same place as the old one.
2. After published in the 3-m room
arguments of one of our readers
possible future Speccy we started getting a lot of material,
and sometimes virtually full-GOVERNMENTAL conceptual
developments on this topic ...
General provisions are as follows:
Thrown out all or part of memory (usually -
Basic 128) and is replaced by the BIOS, or directly to the full
OS. This version of the little machine adjustment, which
allows no significant cost (Excluding, however, the development
of OS) ETS lat move to a big evolution.
The second idea is that the ability of Spectrum expanded by a
strong intellectual periphery containing
their processors and operates on the principle of
- A short command at the entrance - a big result at the output.
(An example of such a device is absolutely correct General
Sound, and virtually all would to see the next new video
adapter). After the release of mass razlichnh devices written
radically new OS designed to work in a multiprocessor
environment. This, in turn, allows you to create
truly revolutionary mass multiprocessor platform, similar to
that in the world does not exist.
It remains only to say that The figures in the idea
literally worn into the air and come to
mind for many people in this connection, we simply
can not publish all such projects
and kindly ask the authors do not take offense at
us for it ...
Well, now I come to the letters.
Our constant reader of Petrodvorets
Andrei Yakovlev wrote us the following:
, AH> Do not allow yourself to reveal the theme for the
competition. Tell me pozhaluysa like me to example, I could
write a routine in assembly language, if this is the assembler
I I only know the 5 th month? Necessary to give subjects
for people, but not easy, so you can
was to smash his head, really vylozhitsya at 100%.
ZF> Well, this is partly true. However,
very difficult how to come up with themes for
competitions, and missing a lot of competitions
once ... Competition on the level of L. SQARD completed, and
the public have left Two: The contest for the competition, and
competition for Computer anecdote. And for programmers
- Complex enough competition on the demo page. We believe that
this has enough. A contest to contest
will be always.
AH> For writing articles (I think) use any text editor. Not
easier to distribute it, the articles can be engraved users and
sent ready-made, and only then you decide to make them into
production or not make.
- ZF> We accept texts in any format
editor. (Though WinWord.) Themselves do we
Spectrum'e use for the most part
Editor-iS-DOS'a, as the most powerful on
opportunities.
A few questions sent Denis Tokarchuk of Yenakievo that in
Donetsk region. - DT> Will you change your shell?
, ZF> As you can see ... Possible improvement would continue.
DT> Do you think your competitors
Magazine Publishers "Faultless", "Spectrofon"?
ZF> None. With Spectrofon'om we are reasonably
little intersect as for other
publications, in our market, they are weak and difficult to
judge this. , DT> On what issue ZF you want to end and want a
complete, or is it undefined? ZF> We love our job ... However,
Now everything is decided by the market. And the state
market, incidentally, a very significant impact
and have such abstract factors
as a tightening of European health
standards for electromagnetic fields of equipment.
(Nebezinteresen and the fact that Russia's requirements for
electronic equipment under this part to remain in the 10 - 100
times stiffer than the European ...)
Intriguing proposal sent Alex
Garkulim of Krasnodar.
- AH> you name some popular
song (which is spinning all the radio stations,
Well the word on everyone's lips) and Music-Makery
- Your readers are trying to repeat it ...
ZF> The idea is certainly not bad, but too hard to evaluate
such a contest ... Yes vobschem something to us and so have to
assess a fair amount of music, proposed for the design of the
magazine.
Another question sent to us, Alexander
Gordeev from Volgograd:
, AH> Can I connect to the ZX (Pentagon)
hard drive, and what should be the operational support? I heard
that the ATM-ke has been used hard drive, is it true
it?
- ZF> O controllers in different HDD you could read in the last
issue of the journal. K Pentagon'u without significant
alterations or one of the options for HDD controller did not
connected. There are models for the Scorpion - with support for
TR-DOS, hard drive works as a collection of disks and KAY
- The hard drive works like a hard disk, but
only under the iS-DOS and requires a launch from a floppy disk.
Reviewed on Scorpion'ovskom controller contained in section
hardware. Purchase controllers can be respectively in the firm
Scorpion or (C) Nemo.
ATM machines do have
built-in HDD controller, running
CP-M. However, the massive use of HDDs in the ATM are not there
... In addition to ATM IDE-HDD controller is available in
ZxNext.
Eugene Shumilov from Kirovsk wrote to us:
Em> Diversify music magazine. In
Ideally, each section should have its
music, not as in ZF # 5.
ZF> Alas. We would, of course, were delighted to bestow
benefits all those who applied to us musicians, but the disk
all the same not made of rubber. In the acute shortage of disk
space in one room ZF, usually no more than 20 music.
It should be noted that quite often, many make the same
mistake. Here is an extract from a letter Nitochkina Vadim
Kurganinsk: , NW> You wrote in the journal that you have more
than 3000 programs.
ZF> It was written in the advertising studio
"Logros". A studio Logros and XLD - it is not
the same thing. Although we have long and close working with
them and, of course, we can redirect your orders, this creates
additional inconvenience to all participants process - the
extra amount of time delay on the transfer and much more until
the "corrupt phone." If you are interested in something read
in advertising - please visit, specified in the advertisement.
Call for the right call at the appointed time and write the
correct address. Thus, you save yourself and your recipients
from unnecessary problems.
Michael Larkin of C-B, and not only he
one interest:
ML> are you going, along with the rubric iS-DOS, open the
Field of PINK-FLOYD? ZF> NO. While we leave it without comment
...
Well, that ended in processing your mountain
letters came to us after ZF # 5
30:03:97.
In conclusion, we should add a few
words. Why do so few answers?
Just generally we do not respond here to those
letters, answers to which can serve as any article of this
issue. And such happens quite a lot.
Gentlemen!
We repeatedly come across questions like:
And what is the address of Logros'a?
Where can I buy a mouse?
Tell us more in detail about the TR-DOS ...
(After the fifth number!)
And even - "That you're here for something to write Amiga, and
what it is / what models are they?" All these things had been
written in previous issues ... The impression is that our
magazine just barely browsing. But we can not from room to room
to reprint the same, only shoved it into this section. Be
careful.
