Looking for a sponsor :)

Hello Sonic So on the forum from Moscow more than once they gave the Spectrum into good hands...

Hello, All In connection with the next autumn exacerbation of nostalgia, I come to the conclusion that I am not I will be able to restore my Pentagon-48 kb in a reasonable time. And I want to create and remember the good old past... I just want to implement some of my ideas. Therefore I turn to dear community... Are there any kind people who can donate a small ZX PC to the developer? B In principle, it could even be a 48 kb machine. At worst, even without a disk drive. Simplicity of hardware implementation and the absence of serious modifications are desirable (because tinkering with iron is expected). Monitor - well, if only very small, I don't have enough space on the table. At worst, the TV tuner of my Pegasos will do. I would like to conduct small research projects related to ZX and its software. Possible directions: 1. Connection with a large machine (PC/Amiga/Pegasos) as a file server. Ability to load images in various formats into the machine's memory. 2. Integration of various operating systems (launching TR-DOS programs from under IS-DOS). 3. Collaboration with the authors of vTR-DOS, testing ideas and prototypes. 4. Applications of ZX (home automation and more - on order). It is possible to collaborate with any interested creative group of similar directions. As an option, I join one of the developing areas (Pentagon-1024, ATM-2(3)).I don’t have money to purchase equipment - due to this, I’m embarrassed talk, but with a protracted family crisis. In return I can only offer several Amiga magazines, both imported and domestic, as well as some the amount of broken PC hardware (drives, motherboards, etc.). Blocked everything still needs to be cleared. If anyone is interested, I will make a list of things suitable for distribution. All results of any work will be open and available to the entire community, as domestic and imported. The city is Moscow, I don’t have my own car, I live in Podolsk. And one more thing about rarities. Although this does not apply to ZX, but... However indirectly refers. Available: 1. IBM PC Pentium-90, CDRW, 32 MB RAM, ZIP Drive 100 MB, network card 3Com509, built-in video adapter S3Vision864 (800x600x65536 colors). Dell proprietary body. PCI slots are available. The machine is running Win98, Linux and AROS (video driver development frozen due to large volume). C monitor, keyboard and mouse (in general, fully equipped). There is a map IEEE1394, if it works, I'll add it there. Overall a good helper developer - remote terminal for debugging, network Peer, etc. OK serves me for this purpose. Sometimes I run Windows on production necessary. 2. Rarity - Apple Macintosh Powerbook-150. MacOS 7.6.1, 850 MB hard drive,installation of NetBSD is possible, work on AROS was planned but again frozen due to the scope of the project. Asante micro SCSI-Ethernet adapter for it, excellent works. Boot disk and drivers are available. The battery of the machine is completely discharged. Intended to be used as a portable UNIX/AROS machine, running AROS There is space on the screw, but not for NetBSD. These two points change to a PC laptop of at least Pentium-100/32 MB/several GB HDD. In general, the requirement for a car is to run Windows 98 at an acceptable speed (again according to production needs); Linux (as main work environment) and AROS (as a future core work environment and portable Amiga). The condition of the battery does not matter. A network card is required well, it's probably a luxury :) The purpose of the exchange is to free up space on your desktop. For ZX in particular :) Interested people can propose their research project for ZX small volume. In general - your resources, my hands. I will be glad to any answers and suggestions. I sincerely want to come back, always yours Sonic. :v2_blush:

Hello Striker So now there’s nothing... It’s interesting, by the way, is it possible to nail the top to the top (I suggest doing it with the same for all requests)?

Hello Sonic I can offer a working board ZX-777 (128Kb+AY+VG93) in exchange for SCSI-Ethernet Asante micro adapter and drivers for it, only I’m in St. Petersburg, and you’re in Moscow, but I think It can be resolved by agreement.

Hello Sonic "1. Connection with a large machine (PC/Amiga/Pegasos) as a file server. Ability to load images in various formats into the machine's memory." I'm going to do this too... just about... We can agree...

Hello, CHRV I have two specs, Leningrad 48 and it seems Moscow 128 or 48 with AU and disk converter .. whether they work or not, I don’t know, there was no way to check. I'll give it to good hands -) The only thing is, pick up from Tsaritsino metro station

Hello, ilyaspb ily> I can offer a working board ZX-777 (128Kb+AY+VG93) in exchange ily> on the SCSI-Ethernet adapter Asante micro and drivers for it, only I in ily> St. Petersburg, and you are in Moscow, but I think it can be resolved with an agreement. Thank you. Unfortunately, I cannot denetize the Macintosh while I have it - this The only laptop that can connect to the network. I'm this week I'm going to make a census of all my working and non-working hardware, I'll present it list here. Maybe something else will interest you. For example, offhand now I have: 1. CD-ROM drive, 40x, working 2. HDD, about 800 MB, working. 3. Asus Pentium-2 motherboard not working due to a burnt-out manager nutrition, if you change it, 99% will live. 4. HDD 40 MB 2.5" - seems to be working. 5. HDD 130 MB 2.5" - 100% working, WARNING!!! My Mac refused with it work - apparently has something against this brand. 6. CD-ROM 40x - not working, the mechanics are broken. 7. ZIP-100 IDE, not working (head problems) 8. ZIP-100 SCSI, working. 9. 2 cartridges for ZIP-100. 10. Pentagon-48 board, some small things and LSI are missing, restoration started but not finished.

Pavel, I have a Pentagon (Solon-3), but he has memory problems, come to any time and take it... I’ll also add memory in the form of microcircuits.

How's the Amiga? ;))) I have a brand new Delta-S. I need to dig around in the garage. There is also a live branded 128 Spectrum 2+ (there is only a belt in the tape drive needs to be corrected)... But it takes time to get there and dig it out good... Best regards, Alexey

Hello, CHRV CHR> Pavel, I have a Pentagon (Solon-3), but it has memory problems, CHR> stop by at any time and pick it up... Memory in the form of microcircuits too CHR> I will pour it. Thank you very much, Romka, you’ve already done a ton for me... I found it proposal in Tsaritsyno. I'll diagnose, see what works/doesn't work, maybe I will arrange an exchange/distribution/repair. 128 kb is definitely cool.

Hello, CHRV CHR> At Solon, also 128/AU/BETA I know. My apartment just can’t handle such a bunch of computers. There will be only two of them - working and HW-experimental.

Hello, All Alex Research??????? Really!!!!???? Alive, alive... Amiga is good, Pegasus is already... Thank God we were not deprived of iron. I am now organizing a distribution of old unnecessary things, I'll free up some space and put the ZX in its place. Now I have Pegasus + PC old Pentium-90 - debugging terminal. There was also laptop from Apple - powerbook-150. I exchanged it for an IBM ThinkPad today. Yes that the P90 will also be distributed. This is the place :) How are you?

Hello, Pavel! 24 Oct 06 17:35, Pavel Fedin -> All: PF> How are you? Normal. I'm working. There is little free time. Left Izmailovo 5 years ago... Best regards, Alexey
