ZXNet echo conference «real.speccy»

From Andy Harchenko To All 7 July 1998

Having sat down at the keyboard, I decided to draw a letter for you All.

I understand that I’m probably sick of everyone here with the glitches of my spec, but the fact is
that no one can give me any advice about the worker. I tried different methods.
But
nothing. In short, I’ll repeat my troubles again, maybe someone will help.

1) Trouble with a disk drive. When you turn on the computer, the flop 5.25 (Robotron) does not want to work, for example, we do format, formats track 0 and that’s it, it hangs. If you
read the disk, then on all tracks further than 0 it says disk error, the only thing you can do is cat, and besides, the disk itself will be screwed up on the track on which
your head went off. Something like 20-30 minutes pass, it looks like something is heating up and
the flop starts working normally :E!

2) Trab with the keyboard. If you make new in the 48th bass, then somehow
some symbols practically stop being pressed:
"
(
'
;
etc.
Almost all are obtained by pressing SYMBOL or CAPS SHIFT.
If you do the PRINT IN 254 command, then we see constantly changing codes
255 and 191. The most offensive thing is, that if you don’t do new, then everything works fine. In
to return the keys to a working state you have to press reset :(

Maybe someone knows or has thoughts about this. I’ll accept and
check all reasonable options. Otherwise, we can say it’s a hopeless situation. Because
it’s unlikely to repair my spec.who will take it (minitower + 3 disk drives + a lot of modifications), and
and there is no one to take it to. And none of our people know what the matter might be :(
