Sat May 22, 1999, Ivan Mak squeezed the keyboard, hoping that the following
words would reach All:

IM> The preliminary project name is Sprinter-II.
IM> Naturally, it should be powerful enough, and this
IM> means that it should be based on memory of sufficient size and
IM> performance.

Well, before I had time to splurge on Sprinter, Sprinter-II
is launched...
PC somehow turns out... with an arms race ;(((

Hasta la vista.

TK> Well, before I had time to splurge on the Sprinter, you are already launching Sprinter-II
TK>...
The launch of Sprinter-II is still a long way off. This is just a project. There isn't even a sample. It may turn out that we will make it for three years, like Sprinter. :)
TK> PC somehow turns out... with an arms race ;(((
You can’t believe it. It’s just a machine with an architecture similar to the Sprinter, but on a different
level.
Wow! The Protoss are attacking my zerlings! It’s time to get lost. Ivan.

On TK> So. Is it compatible with Sprinter? If yes, it's a race. If
TK> is not there, then you will drag everyone onto it, otherwise - why
TK> do... Or am I missing something?
Compatibility is only partial, when working through the BIOS in Z80 mode.
And in the new mode, this is a new machine that should attract new people.
On the other hand.

Yeah. Now it's clear. By the way, then this is off-topic, here we have the first Sprinter with difficulty... Keep in mind.
