Congratulations to the Editor
ZX Power with the release of the first issue and I congratulate
myself with my first article in this remarkable work of human
hands. The emergence of new electronic editions for
Sinclairsovmestimyh computers shows still neugasshem interest
of the population of the former Empire to the democratic
platform. My new development
in communications designed to
nemeryannom just pick it up (yes,
I am a humble person), and a little bit to extend the life of
the components with the most convenient in the world assembler
with lots of wonderful programs and well-designed structure.
So, a few words about the design, the address of which was
made so many flattering words, and which is intended to shake
the world ;-).
The scheme is a communication port, made
FULLY standard RS-232C,
which can connect any serial device
such as a mouse, modem, printer
or another PC. In this case, the exchange rate with the modem
or printer supports from 110 to 19200 baud, and the rate of
exchange with another machine can reach
64000 baud. It is possible
connect any serial mouse
and / or any modem speed
from 300 to 19200 baud.
On September 9, 1996 is
device is already operational and
gives me pleasure to communicate over a modem with IBM'ovskimi
BBS. I wrote a program
lets you share files
in a standard XMODEM, XMODEM / CRC,
XMODEM1k, YMODEM, YMODEM-g. Now write a terminal program that
allows to share files in a standard ZMODEM. Some of its other
features: - 80 characters per line;
- Session management protocol;
- Support for Kempston-mouse;
- Working with IBM drives;
- Built-in phone book;
- Support for code cleanup
screen;
- Can support ANSI
and / or AVATAR;
- Support for macros;
- A rich menu of options.
As well as many additional
opportunities. Being developed interrupt controller and
support for 512 points in a row
because only with these
improvements can be made normal terminal program running (and
not a monstrosity like Shepeleva). By my calculations,
October already appears in Kharkov
willing to pay, and a month after the start of official sales
will be released on circuit design, which is still available
only to a narrow circle of persons.
Perhaps in Kharkov in 1996
finally open the first sinklerovskaya BBS, where you can
would find a lot of interesting things.
