Local network

ZXNet echo conference «hardware.zx»

From Nikolaj Amosov To All 27 September 2003

Greetings, All! Previously, Spectrum literature contained advertisements for educational computer complexes based on ZX, in which computers united into a multifunctional local network, with software support by N. Rodionov. I wonder what it's like did this network represent? [REAL ZX]

There was something similar in the Yamaha MSX (aka KUVT). I saw an option when all Spectrums (15 pieces) were in parallel connected via a tape port. In proprietary Interface-1 there were two ports, and all Spectrums were connected in series.
