Scorpio Routines
ZXNet echo conference «code.zx»
From Andrey Eismont → To All 31 May 2000
Greetings, All!
I have this question.
Who can give me a subject called via RST #8? In particular I am interested in
disk BIOS routines for the screw. Or maybe some other new subject
Is ROM version 4.1 available? Because I only have information on the subject
dating back to 1997:(
I would be very grateful to anyone who can help me with this issue!

Such questions to St. Petersburg.

Well, I have a 1998 one. It's not very new.

I would help, but the more I do to people, the less I get. :( Yes
Scorpio info, but in HardCopy. It is possible (and possible) to scan everything
this, but to be honest, in crowbars. And this is not my usual behavior... :(

This is not new, but you may still need it:
RST 8
DB #87 - turbo on
RST 8
DB #88 - turbo off
Thank you for your attention.

And here they write that there is...

___Greetings about All!___
People who write NEOS, as well as those who write all sorts of commands. I can throw it to you
HDD driver for SMUC.
Its capabilities:
no need ROM
can hard connect drives (after resetting everything is ok)
supports 2 screws
supports open/closed portshas functions for issuing a list of partitions, disks in a partition, read/write
(for ancient HDDs you can enable the function of recording/reading by tracks, they say
old screws cannot go through tracks), copying tr-discs
etc.
Write to whomever needs it.

what year? more. no and there won't be.

fresh - no. :)

why? :) take the screw programming document, write a driver,
You understand Larchenkov’s nonsense and move on. :)

as Larchenko said, this is one complete glitch.
Yes, as a moderator, you shouldn’t quote more than necessary.
