And those who don’t have a screw will upgrade their nada. I am, of course, a supporter
Spectrum standards, but not the hard drive issue. Because judge for yourself:
This is what the off-topic would be like if it still only worked with flop? Yes,
screw about 5 years ago on Spec was a rarity, mainly because it was all
wildly expensive, especially for those we were - students. But now, when
most work, and prices for propellers fall at the speed of meteorites, refusal
purchases of a screw can only be explained by internal laziness and retrograde behavior, which in
All times slowed down progress and did not carry anything positive at all. B
in general, don’t be offended, I’m not saying this to you, but to many others :)
And to the question about the operating system: you can create a full-fledged OS _only__only_ using a hard drive. FK0 will probably disagree with me:
he will say that it will work with the flop too, but very, very slowly. But
I’ll answer: why is it needed with the flop then? Look at this: and is-dos
I turned into something human only when I started working on the screw. After all
It’s not for nothing that Nemo clung to him so much (in the is-dos sense)! Even the hedgehog could see this:
the speed characteristics here and there do not stand any comparison!
Software can become very strong on Spec: after all, the limitation with
From memory, I have repeated this many times! Disappears due to swapping and
loadable modules. And there will be no such perversion as in Real Commander: modules
They are loaded and remain in memory until the memory runs out. I couldn't for a long time
understand: why did the authors do this? Then they explained to me: flop. But really:
constantly for the commander to climb the flop... That's why they had to do it that way...
wildly
In general, the flop is great, it was a powerful step forward 15 years ago, but
people, let's move on! We switched from tape recorders to disk drives,
painful, of course (remember the long process of adaptation to TR-DOS), but
It wouldn’t occur to anyone now to shout that tape is a rule, and a disk drive is a
no need! It makes us smile to hear stories that someone else is using a tape recorder
the program is loading... Now think about what you cause in people withhard drives? Not a smile, of course, but a feeling of hopelessness: when? When
will the screw become a standard, and the flop will become a thing of the past? After all, now we, people with
hard drive, still a minority... strange as it may seem :(
I understand that my article is ambitious and ambiguous, that no one will be convinced of
This form is impossible. However, maybe it will make at least someone think? And
I'm interested in your opinions...
