_1_
I haven’t followed the development of Spec’s software for a long time, so I’m interested in:
Is it possible to fully work with FTN on Specki, in particular, support
screw software? If so, which one?
_2_
What is the most supported HDD connection scheme now, or no screw at all
doesn't connect?
With all sorts of vignettes and regards, _/Sergey Orlov/_ aka _/Graf/_

I see. That is, we have 3 screw connection schemes: SMUC, Kaevskaya and from ZF#8. I
right? Are Formatovskaya and Kaevskaya the same thing? If not, is there more
fresh support for the format scheme, in addition to what is available in the format itself?

That is, as I understand the work of a modern spektrumist in the FTN network and with a screw:
1. Kaevskaya scheme (ZF#8???) + Dickie. Editor? Distillation to tr-dos and beyond
Lara?
2. Scorpio scheme and work with tr-dos dimket images in the usual set
"melon + lara".
Correct me where I'm wrong, because I haven't followed the development for about a year
platforms.And about the scorpion, I have a very vague idea about the operation of the screw on it,
Enlighten those who are not too lazy.

based on a circuit from I don’t remember which zx format, I cut off leg 13 D2 from the resistor
R1, applied to 8:D6, removed from leg 12 and applied to resistor R1 after the break,
right?

This is what happened - from the above, I passed IOW/ through AP5 and submitted
on 1:D4 instead of IOW/ inverted IOR/, with point 5 it didn’t work out for me
;(
As a result, a device began to be created stably (program create.com) with the
check, before it often froze at the very end. Otherwise everything is as before
i.e. when recording a large number of files, somewhere after the 12-15th file instead of the name
and the expansion, all sorts of garbage appeared, after which nothing is usually recorded.
If the program coca.com throws everything from the floppy disk onto the screw, then I often fall out
error 86. Errors 108 and 105 were thrown several more times.
True, once I managed to get everything off the floppy disk, but for some reason only on
device E: when trying to do the same with device C: glitches started.p.s. screw conner periferals 170mb, auto detect sees all screw parameters
right.
All the best. Comrade STALIN.

If you have something against koi-8, just say so - I’ll tweet you right away
I'll add it.
I look at your driver from the user’s position (getting inside is no longer an issue
energy or time).
I download it, create a disk... but Leontievsky doesn’t see it. :-/ So it’s crooked
driver.
Leontievsky is exactly straight, because disks created by it on the PC are read successfully.
At least prove something to me here - but it doesn’t work, its disk sectors are like
they are written at random.
Where are the mistakes in my head? Maybe it works correctly with other screws,
there CHS is different,but with mine it’s wrong. As I understand it, this is an error in the conversion of LBA to CHS.
VK> WHAT YEAR IS IT?

And it’s not clear about the year. I got it (from the Internet) at the very beginning of 1999
or earlier.
Later I gave up, and the firewood lay on a soft disk that no one had cared for for a couple of years.

What does Leontyev have to do with it, if there is documentation?
It seemed that this driver was written in such a way that no one understood how
it
can work at all. And then it was not tested at all. Was released, or to me
so unfortunate
without documentation. Of course, I’m to blame for all the bugs - I don’t care about any left-field software
use if availablein the distribution kit isdosa is normal. For some reason it seems to me again that there is no more
once I was right...
VK> And why is there a constant in QCYLND and not zero?
>>> Well, enter zero. ide_tune will probably enter the constant there again.
So you don’t know yourself?
ide-tune somehow reconfigures Leontief drivers that are already configured, and
yours can't?
This constant was incorrect FOR MY SCREW.

I am a simple user, I have long forgotten what a disk doctor is and how it is
use...
And in general I just don’t want to figure it out, I want plug-and-play and not
it was buggy.

What kind of screw do you have? I have an idea... I saw somewhere in the Leontief driver
check for 1024 cylinders. I don’t do it, because I don’t care. Maybe this is exactly why
the explanation is that one person with a 2 GB screw does not have Leontief drivers
worked, unlike mine?

Give me the documentation here.

WHAT'S NEW IN iS-DOSe
[...]
1999
29.4.99: Driver adopted
IDE HDD Jason.blk (Moscow), which gives
rooting up to 1.65 times in reading operations
writing/copying:
Tests:
1. Copy disk to disk (15 MB) from
using abc.com - 1.65 times
2. Checking the disk with prog bad: in 1.4
3. Loading an electronic disk image
1.3 times (7 seconds instead of 9)
4. Checksum verification (9.7 MB)by 13% (2'58" instead of 3'25")
5. Copy directory (coca, 4286
blocks, 243 files) by 6.5%
However, this driver has no brakes (Break
not tracked) and almost never tested
crashed on bad sectors. Therefore, please
piss off, if you want, at your own peril and
risk.
[...]

brakes and made from tested-
ny predecessors.

Did you see the comments in the source?

I don't have a computer KAY! I have a scorpion, and I am a Kaevsky driver from mine
remade the scorpion!

Hallo All
There is a screw SAMSUNG WN310820A
there are a lot of bad things on it, I don’t know why, they gave it to me.
Is it possible to somehow revive him?
Thanks in advance with respect Dmitry.

Hallo All
Can someone tell me where I can get the firmware for the screws?
Quantum Fireball Plus LM GTLA:LM15A011-01-A 15.0AT
Quantum ProDrive LPS240A GM240A01X
A search on I-net yielded nothing.
Thanks in advance with respect Dmitry.

I think there was a forum on mhdd.net
Only, usually people don’t scatter firmware to everyone they meet.
Because those who have them make a lot of money from it.
Now, if you are also a repairman and you have some supplies, they may change...
DZ> A search in I-net did not yield anything.
Finding a specific model of screw and board there is unrealistic. Because in every model
Moreover, there were a dozen or more screw versions of the boards...
PS why do you need firmware? If she flew off, then it’s not a fact that it’s only her fault
Best regards, Evgeniy.

In general, nowhere. In general, in any such drive...
