ZXNet echo conference «zx.talking»

From Roman Chupak To All 12 December 1999

Greetings, All! Have you, All, seen the article in Adventurer 9 magazine about the DMA card that appeared there? thanks to me? So, yesterday I received a letter (paper) from Minsk from the editors of the subject. I was in shocked. I quote it in full. Belarus, 220050 Closed Joint Stock Company Minsk, post office box 41. Tel./Fax (0172) 27-67-21 RADIO AMATEUR E-mail: rl@rl.belpak.minsk.by Good afternoon, Roman! A. Seleznev (KWAZAR) from Gomel gave us your article “Sound card with direct access." However, a short introduction is necessary. Our magazine "Radio Amateur. Your Computer" as an independent publication published since 1995, distributed by subscription in Belarus and Russia, and in retail in Ukraine, Kazakhstan and the Baltic states. Since its birth, our magazine has paid significant attention to the platform Spectrum. For various reasons, the quantity and quality of materials for this topic has recently decreased significantly. In our opinion, to a large extent degree due to the lack of users (especially in the outback) access to information about the ZX upgrade, the current state of the platform, etc. Agree, that not everyone has the opportunity to access electronic journals and Spectrum-related newspapers. Printed publications that provide publications on this topics, at least not known to us. It's a pity, the ZX platform has gone farforward. We want to fill this gap to the best of our ability. To fulfill this idea, we established contact with the Gomel group spektrumistov. Therefore, I ask for your permission to publish materials on sound card with DMA (in the materials sent to us there is a mention that the article was prepared for the magazine "Adventurer"). Moreover, I appeal to you to support us, if possible, materials on circuit design and software of modern ZX-Spectrum. I also ask you to let us know, if you don’t mind, your addresses (email or postal) spektrumists to whom we could contact. I hope for cooperation. Best regards Magazine editor "Radio amateur. Your computer" [signature] S. Drozdovsky That's it... This is about the issue of releasing a printed publication for Speck. And this is what I answer him: TO: radio_amateur Hello dear Mr. S. Drozdovsky. I am writing a response to your letter (paper) received today. I would like to note that it surprised me very pleasantly. I would I’m just glad to publish an article about the DMA card in your magazine. And in the next few days, photo templates of the board should also appear. Those. she's already been scammed. I assembled it myself on the wiring. By the way, as you can see, I am writing by email. That's all too happening on the Spectrum. I am connected to SpetrumHayes modem 14400, I am connected to FIDONET and ZX-NET (network type FIDO for spektrumists. By the way, there is also one in Minsk, accordingly, there are a lot of spektrumists), thanks to which I I can freely write letters to the Internet from the Spectrum. I will post your letter on the Internet - it is very possible that someone will contact you. > People, did you get the hint? It would also be nice to reprint some of the Spectrum electronic newspapers. In the Lviv electronic newspaper "Optron" recently there was a series of articles about electronic networks and ZX-NET in in particular. I'll tell them about you. > Reported. ;) Guys, write him something. What are your thoughts on this? With best wishes, David WILLIS. dwillis@mail.ru
