CMOS in Scorpa

Once, on December 20, 98, someone Andrey Isaev wrote to Valerij Kozhevnikoff
on the topic 'CMOS in Scorpio'...

will it work?

even on obviously defective ones?
this is by the way, but in general I agree - it is necessary using HALT, since
there is not much difference in how to poll the keyboard... you can
support crooked hardware too.

All the best.
Dmitry.

Yeah, and even the cursor position is not saved, so you can miss
something:(

VK> there can be 128 pieces.

only in version 0.6 there can be 100 of them (I read it from the help)

With best wishes, Dmitry.

But this is not necessary!!!! trdos initially has 4 (four!) drives and memory
expanded by #7ffd is also a very old development and is used by many people across the country due to the availability of the circuit, and the Scorpov keyboard controller is used mainly in St. Petersburg and Moscow and because of its secrecy it will not go far.

VK> How else can you explain the logic coders, shoving

And this can only be explained by the crookedness of their hands.

VK> Or are our programmers so cool - they don’t know how to count to two?
Why to two? there are only four drives!

VK> pps\

A who will force you to install a switch? just throw a couple of wires in a ribbon to the drive and that’s it!╞══════════════────--

It was 29 Dec 98 at 13:01:51, when
Andrey Isaev still risked writing to Valerij Kozhevnikoff
about CMOS in Scorpio

AI> Well, of course, I feel sorry for you, but I’m still wondering how you

AI> when this didn’t exist at all Anzipa?

It was real hell!
Once again I want to express my gratitude to you (I think the rest of the real-life people
will join me) for such a necessary and necessary program.
I hope version 1.0 will meet all world standards ;)

There was nothing to do, and 29 Dec 98 at 13:01:51
Andrey Isaev wrote a letter to Valerij Kozhevnikoff
I saw this and decided to answer.

Stop this program, please.

ps. Happy New Year everyone. good connections :)

For this, let me bow out. Sincerely, Andrey Khoroshilov.
