Problem Scorpion ZS 256?
Now I will tell you a story of my communication with my
computer. If you, the reader, after reading this material, any
thoughts or have infa, about what it is or how to deal with it,
I'll be very grateful and endlessly
glad if you write me a letter, or even
article on the topic for entu ZX-Pilot'a.
There is a suspicion that this problem is related to the
Scorpion, and perhaps with the old its development (the card).
Let's begin.
I have a Scorpion ZS-256 and all. Well, of course, with the
shadow Monitor (TM) MOA (C) 1993, 94 v2.5c 15 jan 94. Of
course, this does not nove, but it works fine. I bought it
with hands, which, in turn, also took
with other hand. I do not know where it came from a
Kovrov, from St. Petersburg or any pirates concocted.
In short, no problems, okromya
those who are already inherently in Scorpio. I will not list
them all their already know.
But once again, be slowed by TM
text from one of the programs I've encountered
with the following: TM can not be written on
disk - error. Checking RDS'koy floppy, convinced that the drive
is in order. But TM stubbornly does not want to work with him.
Looking disk parameters and drive in
Menu TM Disk Utility, find out what TM said that the disc - One
Side'ovy. Obviously a glitch. The rest of the program ADS, RDS,
FUT, and the rest give to know that the drive - Double Sided.
Restornuv floppy RDS'koy persuaded HM
that the disc is double sided. Searched and found several more
disks on which had a similar reaction TM. Naturally,
all their zarestoril.
And they live happily ever after, and the good ever after.
But then came another problem, as well, quickly open the gates.
That's right, this story was continued.
I'm a no, but the encoder. I sit myself
somehow, sit in Alasm_4.1, nobody
touch. Kodyu means to develop new
the possibilities of this naikruteyshego and naiudobneyshego
assembler. Decided to somehow load the drive with "B"
alasmovsky file. Hear overwrought initialized
drive, see the message "B>", I press "W". Choose the file,
trying to pressure "Enter". FIG there, rather than file.
Unreadable! Thought Totals kreshing s drive. Checked RDS'koy -
o.k!, Know bad sektors. Repeated reading from disk "B" from
Alasm'a, you still can not read.
And there came a vision, and I realized that all
it already was, but in a past life. And I do not
Deja Vu Do I? Yeah like I would not read
him yesterday nanoparticles? Or read it?
But nevertheless, I'm leaving in STS_6.2, here
he home, go out to the address # 5CC8 and ofigevayu:
drive A # 5CC8 1983
drive B # 5CC9 1980
drive C # 5CCA FF
drive D # 5CCB FF
Unscramble:
# 83 -% 10000011
80 as 80
2 sided
80 tracks
# 80 -% 10000000
80 as 40 (1)
One sided (2)
80 tracks
The program decided that the one-sided disc (2), but in
addition more and 40-track (1)!
Probably, I'm starting to wander?. You have to manually put
the variables of STS'a TR-DOS'a! Where have you seen, tell me
for mercy, please! Similarly, no or I
in delirium.
Of all the above stated arises
question:
Who is buggy? Alasm, TM or TR-DOS?
I went to Vel'u. Checked Alasm
his Pentagon, everything is fine.
TM or TR-DOS?
But why then the rest of the program
define the data disk drive correctly,
if the case is in the TR-DOS'e? Can cause a disk controller
architecture Scorpio? The silence, the room is silent ...
The question remains open.
We are not local people, help who than
can. Amen.
SP.WH!
