I am director of the firm "Peters", St. Petersburg,
We also deal with the release of
Spectrum-compatible computers. Spectrum of the market regarding 
the problems we have largely agree with Nemo, but not in all.

What we plan to produce and produce and produce now:
For public education, we produce school computer
classes. Now they have equipped
half of one of the areas
St. Peteburga; pilot classes
delivered in a number of dugih areas.
Accordingly, we develop software
for them, so it went in one
package with the classes. And about
public education, I would like
say a few critical
words to the committee BUT SPb.Komitet configured for 
arrangement schools only ibm-sovmestimymy machines, despite 
their price and complete absence of money in the budget, and 
doing nothing, to still create an alternative version of the 
comp. classes that would really support

and now allows you to teach children. You have to use
initiative from below, and put
classes at the district level. But the fact
Yet we continue to develop
and improve our classes.
In addition, we now have developed a new machine. I do not know 
how the idea was successful, it will have to assess consumers. 
But, in general, we are tired of low graphics capabilities

Spectrum from its distribution
memory. We plan to create a machine with a perfect screen on 
which you can normally display 80 characters in line, with a 
graphical screen 320 * 240 pixels at 16 or 256 colors. At the 
moment, have a working layout. In addition, we plan to support 
memory up to 4Mb, it is also realistic.

I see a skeptical smile. We
essentially fighting for something that price was not high. We 
almost did not raise wholesale prices - for a maximum of 5-10%. 
In part, we agree with the position Company Iskrasoft, 
developer OS ISDOS. Our development - a

kind of response to an article published in the 4 th issue of 
ZF, which spoke of the need OS, and that the OS need another

circuitry. The approach we
tried to implement in our
new car. I believe that in
September, we conclude and give
prototypes for research
programmers.
Yes, on the periphery. Release of the periphery is also planned 
enough large. The standard

we are likely to adopt a system bus KAY-256, which will
use of peripherals, designed for him. Perhaps we
Made a slight improvement,
kotoryene will not affect the
operation of the bus. Available
Now peripherals -
Controller IDE hard drive, ibm
keyboard and mouse will work
and with our car.
