ZXNet echo conference «code.zx»

From Vladimir Larkov To Sergey Zotov 16 April 2000

Hello, Sergey! Tue 04-Apr-2000 23:42, you (500:8462/1) wrote a letter to Denis Ognewsky: SZ>>> free time. If you saw the descriptions of dem, then there SZ>>> is written like “C64 (C128) + FDD so and so” That says it all. :) It’s written this way not because the flop will necessarily count as something for the demo, but because there are different flop models, the classic one is 1541(-II) - 5'25 single-sided for 40 tracks, everything must work on it. On newer/cooler ones may not work. DO>> Original! And why don’t we at VGshka count? SZ> The circuitry is different. The percentage inside the flop is exactly the same as inside the chest of drawers itself. Plus ROM with DOS, plus a little memory (IMHO 2 kilos). Communication between the flop and the chest of drawers via serialbass. Driven put a subroutine into it, forced it to count, then just catch the results. BTW the serialbass IMHO is good because a bunch of devices cling to it, choice device number, as in fairy tales. But the transfer speed is terribly slow. While the demo on Spec is loading on the C64, I easily have time to copy the floppy disk. SZ> So what? Gave commands to the drive processor and rest. You can even reset SZ> press - it should not reset. :) That's exactly how it is on the C64. I wouldn't like to disappoint you, but the bare C64 doesn't have a reset button.Although it can be easily made/fucked on a cartridge. BTW you're right, but this (the fact that the flop doesn't reset) gets boring quickly. After Every second demo has to be spanked with the pital flop button. Not recklessly. PS: in fact, the topic, IMHO, is not for this echo. With best wishes, Vladimir.

Hello, Alexey! Thu 04-May-2000 23:50, you (500:8362/1.3) wrote a letter to Sergey Zotov: AM> Okay, I’ve never seen a c64 either, but I’ll try to guess: AM> nop,ret,call,inc,add,dec,sub,and,or,xor,neg. Half past. AM> Any other questions? ;) Fill in all the commands so you don't have to suffer here? There are about 50 of them. With best wishes, Vladimir.
