About improvements and errors of Lenigrad-1

ZXNet echo conference «hardware.zx»

From Konstantin Zhukov To All 6 March 2006

Hello, y-dmitry There are several old ZX-Reviews before 95 - this topic is very common there studied. When I scan it I'll post it.

From Dmitry Yaroshuk To All 6 March 2006

Hello, All Good day to everyone present! Everyone probably remembers or knows how popular Leningrad-1 was. My son and I had an idea to assemble this model. Fortunately, with your guys' help already I got some information. There were also clean boards in the bins once addicted people. Previously, during a period of widespread shortages, we purchased even microcircuits are in stock, sometimes without even understanding what we need them for in the future will be needed. And because we firmly decided to restore this clone, an idea appeared systematize information about errors and improvements to this clone model. Possibly one of the newcomers or one of us “old men” will undertake to repeat this feat, but One thing is clear: the Spectrum is not just a computer (you can do one without thinking buy), its value lies in the fact that it gives us the opportunity to create, invent, think, COMMUNICATE, and just don’t lose your brain. If there is any information (history of creation, errors and their correction, improvements, etc.), write, and I, in turn, will try to systematize everything and post it for public use. Best regards, Dmitry.

From Alexander Zan To All 7 March 2006

Hello, Jukov Everything is so systematized http://sblive.narod.ru/ZX-Spectrum/Leningrad48k/Leningrad48k.htm Every perversion with IR9 remains, but someone has already posted this on the forum. However everything works the first time. Better deal with connecting SRAM instead DRAM.

The search for information about the first Leningrad began with this resource. Why am I I am grateful to the author of the site. But after rummaging through the materials, I found some improvements, and the desire appeared collect everything possible and systematize it. Let's start assembling this model in two weeks, you'll need everything ever published or thoughts written on the edge of a newspaper. Then we’ll start thinking about empowerment. That's why I ask you to help me collect information (if this is real) about errors (their corrections), improvements, etc. to this model.

From Dmitry Yaroshuk To All 16 March 2006

Hello, Jukov Juk> Expansion scheme up to 1MB and connection of shadow ROM from ZX-Review94/6. Juk> The expansion scheme to 128K was already on the forum in the topic “I can’t finish Juk> 128K". Other improvements are in the ZX-Review 91-93 on the website Juk> http://trd.speccy.cz/ Thank you! Everything is great!

From Alexander Zan To All 16 March 2006

Hello, y-dmitry Well, this is a composite aka Leningrad with corrected glitches, but not I remember if the diagram flew to him. If anyone remembers, point me to it ;)

From Alexander Zan To All 16 March 2006

Hello, y-dmitry By the way, there is a disguised SZ label on the board ;) And on both sides (upper left corner).

From Dmitry Yaroshuk To All 16 March 2006

Hello fan fan> By the way, there is a disguised SZ label on the board ;) And with fan> on both sides (upper left corner). Class Do you think it's Zack Zonov? :rolleyes:

From Alexander Zan To All 16 March 2006

Hello, y-dmitry I'm hinting at this ;) By the way, I remembered (if I haven’t found it yet), it was already posted in some topic photo COMPOSIT (without the E at the end, and without the SZ label). If there is no installation, for the first time it will be enough. If this photo is not found, I’ll upload it to my website

From Alexander Yudin To All 17 March 2006

Hello, y-dmitry ydm> Do you think this is Zach Zonov? :rolleyes: It seems that yes. Later, Scorpio also had such a sign (Scorpion ZS 256). I also have the letters NW drawn on the scorpion board with a red ballpoint with a pen. Zonov probably did the painting with his own hand: v2_rolley

From Dobrynin Sergey To All 17 March 2006

Hello, y-dmitry I collected about 92 for this one in the year. I remember there with the formation of INT there were problems.

From Dmitry Yaroshuk To All 17 March 2006

Hello Costa Yesterday I caught another variety of Leningradka-1. Look, maybe someone, what, will say. File: Plata2.rar http://zx.pk.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=2885 File: Plata1.rar http://zx.pk.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=2884

From Alexander Zan To All 17 March 2006

Hello, y-dmitry ydm> Yesterday I caught another variety of Leningradka-1. Look, maybe ydm> who will say what. It looks like this is Leningrad at the beginning of its decline, so to speak, an anti-hemorrhoidal option (I've wanted one like this for a long time ;)). Added holes for KT315 in case of absence transjukovy assembly and it looks like the reader is made more pop. And the sound was pulled up to video signals. The scheme from an ordinary Leningrad should fit almost 100%

From Dmitry Yaroshuk To All 18 March 2006

Hello fan Who can tell me why in Leningrad-1 they use KP14 instead of KP11 (D15-D18)?

From Alexander Zan To All 18 March 2006

Hello, y-dmitry They only have inverted outputs, and where the data will be physically recorded is one figs... The percentage and video will take what you need.

From Igor Afonkin To All 18 March 2006

Hello fan fan> It seems that mikruhi with inverse outputs are easier to cook up (like crystal fan> is smaller) and the delay in them is less (since there is no need to invert) but I don’t fan> I’m sure of this (there are no similar reference books). I can lie, but about 11 years ago, when I assembled my L-1, a printout came with it, in which there was a mention that instead of KP11 it is better to install KP14, just due to lower signal delays... Otherwise, there may be problems with the RAM. Unfortunately, I cannot confirm or refute my memories, because I haven’t come across this printout for 6 years now... :(

From Dmitry Yaroshuk To All 18 March 2006

Hello fan fan> They only have inverse outputs, and where they will be physically recorded fan> the data is one fig... The percentage and video will take what you need. I just noticed that where KP11 should be located, in almost all assembled the boards cost KP14. It is difficult to explain this by a shortage of parts. So far I have not found an explanation in the literature.

From Dmitry Yaroshuk To All 18 March 2006

Hello fan fan> There are KP12 and KP11. I posted the diagram and installation like spensor. Quite fan> good quality. Now I'll try to scrape off my version fan> definitely of excellent quality (maybe there are ten differences ;) ) It'll be great. Thank you. Spensor has little sharpness, some characters merge.

From Dmitry Yaroshuk To All 18 March 2006

Hello fan fan> Hmm, on the assembly and diagram from my L2, the small circuits are numbered by fan> own system %) But fortunately I found another set with everything fan> numbered like spensora :D This is probably the standard. fan> fan> http://sblive.narod.ru/ZX-Spectrum/Leningrad2/Leningrad2.htm Cool! This is exactly the scheme according to which I assembled Leningrad-2 in 1990-91. It brought me to tears... :v2_wink: P.S. By the way, you have a more complete signet and a clear diagram. Thank you.

From Alexander Zan To All 18 March 2006

Hello, y-dmitry There are KP12 and KP11. I posted the diagram and installation like spensor. Quite good quality Now I’ll try to get my version, it’s definitely excellent quality (perhaps there are ten differences ;) )

From Alexander Zan To All 18 March 2006

Hello, y-dmitry There are suspicions that they were simply cheaper. You need a single reference book look (where there is a circuit diagram and other redundant information). It seems that mikruhi with inverse outputs are easier to cook (like smaller crystals) and the delays in them are lower (since there is no need to invert) but I’m not sure about this (no similar reference books). There is also a suspicion that it was just stupidly ripped off from one diagram and ended up like that write, while others continued to repeat without going into detail. Gee :) I went into the bins and found four pieces of KP14 torn from the last one Leningrad%) and in my first Leningrad there were exactly KP11. Now on my own I wonder where this fashion came from :P

And what is on the Internet is of terrible quality, at least take it and redraw it. :v2_conf3: do something.

From Alexander Zan To All 19 March 2006

Hello jdigreze 2 jdigreze This is already interesting. But I’m not even on any diagrams (four of them, if not more) I don’t see these KP14 classic Leningrad:\n 2 y-dmitry Please post here links to diagrams where KP14s are used.

I didn’t prepare the links, but in all (almost) screenshots, if you look closely, it’s noticeable. Fan, I found a mistake in Composite. Connected to the Sync signal, it is negative on the board closed. I decided to redraw both the editing and the principle. If there is anywhere else a clear Composite diagram (or any of them, I’ll figure it out along the way) throw it on soap or in PM. The installation is different from its native Leningrad. I still want to check if it's done whether the improvements described in the press. I would be glad if you could tell me again what pay close attention (i.e. which improvements are more important). Your nm.ru is still buggy, as soon as it starts up, I’ll post the information, as promised. File: Error in Compisite.JPG http://zx.pk.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=2935

Will you be collecting Leningrad or composite? %) Everything worked for me anyway. Only when the appeal to the muses was on there were all sorts of special effects on the curb and the speaker was also saying something, like AY emulation :D I also think there is little light with brains - for complete happiness it is recommended in RAS gap push the shortcut to 330 ohms. Another option for stable operation is raising the voltage up to 5.5V. Oh yeah, I forgot to put this link on my website - http://anklab.pirit.info/Press/RL/1994/08/index.html pages 10&11, there as once one of the RAS delay options is described, etc. And I remembered another cool moment - in my first Leningrad there was a screenwhat for shifted to the right, as it turned out this effect was caused by the installed at nominal value in the clock generator! (tested on two Leningrad).

(tested in two Leningrads). I will assemble Composite, because I have a board for it. I have the same circuit, the quality leaves much to be desired, despite the fact that the installation In general, let’s say, it’s less than informative. I just finished drawing the montage. Drew directly on a copy of the (paper) board from the parts side, so now there are no problems with installing small parts. I’ll make it look divine (I’ll draw it on a PC), I’ll post it to you on nm.ru, let the people enjoys. I'll redraw the principle, probably over the weekend (there are a lot of errors). I also want to check the improvements and corrections that were published in the press. I’ll also try to draw the signet, but not before I assemble and launch the Spectrum. I would like to correct the mistakes at the same time. Compared to the first version of Leningradka, there are enough changes in Composite. Even somehow more interesting to collect. So I will be glad for any help

From Dmitry Yaroshuk To All 4 April 2006

Hello, y-dmitry I dug up something, but haven’t checked it yet, leg 27 (A14) is generally hanging in the air, but here is the 20th leg (CE) - to the “ground”. The circuit used an Intel P27256, while the descriptions for I didn’t find it, but apparently the pinout matches, it’s probably all about the signal SE. As for reading data from ROM, they are read starting from address 0000F.

From Alexander Zan To All 4 April 2006

Hello, CheburatoR Forget about this winebond, the devil has possessed him ;) Ras Intel works, so we leave it. ZY Everything (IMHO) should work for reading and so, because (IMHO) this is a standard. Most likely the animal is slightly injured and this manifests itself in a strange way. U something strange happened to me, two completely identical chips behaved differently differently on not very long trains, one of them did not want to write not read while hanging on the train, the other didn’t care, he plowed both on the train and on board....
