Sprinter resurrection - 2 (official message from F.Peters)
ZXNet echo conference «hardware.zx»
Hello, All
f. Peters officially announces that all information on the Sprinter computer is now
OPEN.
The information I have will be gradually posted on the website.
http://winglion.ru/sprinter/
It’s unrealistic to post everything at once, because it needs to be, at a minimum, in some way
classify, disassemble and bring to a divine form, otherwise it will only turn out
big dump.
The BIOS source codes are partly with me, partly with Denis Parinov.
Everything will be open.
Sources for Altera (AHDL) will also be open.
The OrCAD file with the Sprinter board will also be publicly available.
Regarding possible production, I won’t handle this, so
There is no point in immediately sending me orders for Sprinters.
At the moment I have several blank Sprinter 2000 boards in my hands and
Sprinter 2000s. If someone wants to assemble the Sprinter themselves, you can talk about it
think about it, but I’ll warn you right away, you’ll have to configure what you’ve collected yourself. U
I have neither the time nor the energy for this.
I’ll report separately on the assembled (under)configured Sprinter boards when I figure it out
with them. Now I can only say that they exist in small quantities.
Some are in such a form that it hurts to look at them...
Hello, WingLion
Now here we have to wait for the invasion of the “true Spectrumians”, who will be foaming
at the mouth to prove that the Sprinter is not a Spectrum... :mad:
Hello Shaos

:v2_clapp; Hm...; I suggest they start by proving that PC is not
Spectrum!
Hello, WingLion
To everyone who writes in private with requests to “sell a blank board” for self-assembly.
The issue price is approximately 500 rubles.
But I have not yet dealt with all the inheritance that I got,
and I can’t say exactly how many of these boards are in stock.
I won’t give them away until I prepare the documentation for the assembly.
And this will not happen now or tomorrow, but at least in two weeks.
Hello, WingLion
I stood in line for the assembled and unconfigured....
Hello, WingLion
where is the line to get paid? and is there a chance that it will be given?
I really want to build Sprinter myself
Hello Orionsoft
It was high time to reveal all the information... back in 2001... there was no point in hiding...
Hello KingOfEvil
Kin> And I'm for the empty one.
And me!
I was the first!!!
Is it true? :v2_wink2:

Difficult; to say, I sent the application as soon as I read the topic.
I wonder if they will make an exception for me as the only one at the moment
manufacturer of Spectrum cars in Russia?

If I had decided this, everything would have opened back in 98..99...

B; PM your two messages arrived almost simultaneously :)
So, both are “first” :))

With production it is more difficult, because I have my own project and I plan to develop it. K
besides, I have very little free time, I even collect Pentagons with a very
low speed. I simply can’t bear the additional load.

I did not ask for the assembled board or the constructor. I asked for an empty board so that
Don’t bother Ivan again. I can buy the components myself, assemble and
configure.

I recommend password-protecting access to documents with some kind of riddle in Russian
and post Russian-language and English-language information about the Autonomous Republic and
ownership, so that our foreign friends don’t quickly release something
similar with the words “we will steal your idea a little” (C)

Nice words.
Hello KingOfEvil
It would be nice to open the S-97 firmware diagram, otherwise I have several boards
It’s lying around, it’s a shame to throw it away.

I think manufacturers should only be given documentation. And to produce
Sprinters in the right quantity. :v2_tong2;

in a year it will become clear whether it was worth it (not counting collecting

A little offtopic. Give me the kits (complete set + board + docks) - I’ll be there for you
St. Petersburg residents collect penta.
Roma, now, is already thinking about ATM...
I don't need money. I have fun soldering and tinkering...
And then for the work you’ll customize the kit for me.

There are only 2 boards left, one of which I am already assembling for fyrex-a.

Write a book on assembly/adjustment and sell construction kits.
One of these days they will adjust the memory circuits for me - I will sell the designers again...
