3rd screen under STS
ZXNet echo conference «real.speccy»
There was nothing to do, and 06 Jan 99 at 23:49:00
Dmitry Lomov wrote a letter for Andrey Khoroshilov
I saw this and decided to answer.
KF>>>> I know for sure that there is such a thing! How to turn it on?
DL>>> hardware modification is needed. I saw an improvement from DIGITAL -
DL>>> port #B6 is responsible for memory 512 and additional. screens.
AK>> Tell us more about the 3rd screen, and DIGITAL.
DL> hehe, there is such a group - DIGITAL REALITY :)
DL> I saw a computer (Pentagon), which one person in St. Petersburg
DL> got from them, complete with modifications and (sort of) hardwired
DL> into ROM converted STS. everything additional is through port #B6, the situation is not
I would like to know from DIGITAL REALITY themselves, if of course they read this echo.
For this, let me take my leave. Sincerely, Andrey Khoroshilov.

Somehow 08 Jan 99 at 00:53:00 there was a conflict
Valentin Pimenov and Andrey Isaev were arguing on the topic 3rd screen under STS
I decided to continue this debate:
AI>> When entering the shadow box, 512K is connected (even if
AI>> it is turned off by the toggle switch), STS 5.1 is rewritten
AI>> into pages 31 and 30 from ROM and starts with the current
AI>> settings (the 30th page is used for extra
AI>> functions ).
VP> The topic is this, what if the program has tested the presence of 512 Penta
VP> and uses these (30&31) pages for its own purposes, and all the rest
VP> are covered with something and constantly monitor their integrity.
I haven’t re-read this text for a long time, and therefore I don’t remember whether it says there or not, but
you can run the program with locked 512k and therefore the program will not
find them when you start, but when you press the magic button 512 will turn on themselves, but in general this is offtopic, so let's quit.
