CD_WALK: Nemo controller.

Hurray! Today I made a subject. So now the program works with CD-ROMs in
the following options:

- Slave on SMUC with open ports.
- Slave on SMUC with closed ports.
- Master on Nemo controller.
- Slave on Nemo-controller.

Detection occurs in exactly this sequence, which is explained by a couple of compatibility issues between controllers and ports. The Nemo controller (in the version
Kirill Frolov - I think it is identical to the standard Nemo controller)
was tested on the green Scorpion board. Everything went with a bang.

Attention! The Nemo controller will not work on Scorpion with GMX. It's all about the #D0 port, which is used by GMX and which cannot be disabled - another crookedness of the Scorpion manufacturers. So use SMUC. KAY owners - use the NEMO controller, and, if desired, SMUC, if you can connect (I haven’t tried it myself). Owners of Scorpion can afford the following hard drive configuration: Primary Master (SMUC) - 1st HDD, Primary Slave (SMUC) - 2nd HDD, Secondary Master/Slave (Nemo) - CD-ROM. In this case, the SMUC acts as the
Primary bus, and the NEMO controller acts as the Secondary. Everything is in the best
offtopic traditions :)

The program version number will be CD_WALK v1.2; the final touch before its release is the creation of a one-page viewertext (which was almost completed by Pasha
Vasiliev - my co-author). This will allow you to view from the CD not only the first 64K of text, but the entire file, no matter how large it is. You can, for example, write down an entire unpacked text onto a computer, for example, “The Master
and Margarita” by Bulgakov, and then read it using my program. Convenient
literary library for the Spectrumist :)

By the way, I don’t hear any responses about the previous version posted here. Does it work for anyone? People, the continuation of the creation of the program depends directly on you! If you remain silent, it will remain that way...
