Somehow 09 Apr 99 at 08:48:30 there was a conflict
Roman Milukov and Roman Petrov were arguing on the topic
I decided to continue this debate:

But IMHO it needs to be a little different: 1 - #0000 without clearing memory because the most
often used entry point and when 512kb of memory is cleared you can sleep, 2 -
#???? input with clearing memory, 3 - it’s not necessary at all if you want to check the memory then
run a special firmware or test.

I remind you: be mutually polite!

Otherwise, draconian measures will follow.

The topic SPECTRUM vs PC is _forbidden_!

OK. I agree.
But it is necessary that NeOS, when starting from #0000, look in CMOS and act
accordingly, as written there.

All the best.
Best regards, Roman.

In general, I don’t know about CMOS yet, but now in NeOS there are 3 reset options:
1. Complete memory clearing (by analogy with Scorps - reset + left arrow).
2. The memory is not cleared at all (reset+Break).
3. Only the 128th memory is cleared (just a reset, i.e. the main mode).
Let's now deal with CMOS and entry points (they don't exist yet, everything is done inside
one function). Make an offer, and I'll do it.
