Hello everyone!
I will buy a branded Spectrum+ 128k, +2, +3 or any other modification.
I will also buy any Timex. And any peripherals to them.

Is Profi+ with a megabyte of memory suitable? Great car!!!

QL is not a Spectrum, but it relates to the Spectrum in the same way as DVK to the EC-1842.

What kind of ZX-82?
Judging by the date - this is a simple 48 (or its stripped-down version - 16)...
Sincerely, Evgeniy.

The underlined word does not mean at all that you need a car from a foreign
company. Domestic cars were also produced by companies and some factories.

You are telling this to someone who himself was involved in their production. :)
But nevertheless, this does not make them more than handicrafts.
By the word branded, if you noticed, names have been added that
had either Sinclair Research or Amstrad products. Everything else
is handicrafts.
But you convinced me: it is necessary to write in subsequent advertisements
“original branded” so that there is no ambiguous interpretation.:)

What kind of Profi. Tell us about it? (Version, Finnish software available, etc.)
Goodbye. Sergey was having a lively conversation with you.
From Vladimir Chernikov → To All 5 June 2004
SZ> And what a Pro. Tell us about it? (Version, Finnish software available, etc.)
Here is an advertisement from the time when the "PROFI
3+" computer was released.
"Dear customer, we present to your attention the latest version of the most advanced 8-bit computer: PROFI 3+. This is a semi-professional computer based on original technical solutions, which have improved graphics capabilities, increased speed and
expand the periphery, increase the manufacturability and ease of use of the computer, its reliability.
A well-developed circuit diagram and high-quality printed circuit boards allow
to assemble a computer even for a 12-year-old child. No computer setup is required.
The computer is fully compatible with "Spectrum 128/48", has a music coprocessor AY8910 (AY8912), a disk drive controller, a printer output, a joystick, a tape recorder, a stereo amplifier, etc. The presence of a huge amount of gaming software for this class of computers allows
to interestingly use your leisure time with children.
Let's take a closer look at the second, professional, operating mode of the "PROFI +" computer - CP/M, whichis 80% of the consumer power
of the computer:
This computer mode gives you the opportunity to work on an expanded color screen (512X240 pixels), with the ability to color
each byte (i.e. every 8 pixels) with 16 colors from palette of 256 colors.
Character modes 64X30 and 80X30 pixels provide easy-to-read
display of text information on the screen. In addition, in this model
the turbo mode is improved (up to 15 MHz processor clock frequency),
it is possible to install up to 1 MB of RAM on the printed circuit board (four K565RU7 lines of 8
m/s in each).
The following are located on the peripheral board devices:
- a reliable drive controller with PLL allows you to connect up to four
disk drives, providing you with high-quality reading and writing of information;
- a parallel port based on m/s KR580VV55 ensures the operation of printers with
CENTRONIX, IFSP, IRPR interfaces, IRPR-M, external EEPROM programmer, board
DAC "Covox";
- communication port that meets the CCITT_V24/RS-232C standards gives
the ability to connect various external devices such as:
"MOUSE" type manipulator, printer, plotter, HAYES - compatible modem, as well as other devices designed for this interface. In addition, it is possible to unite computers into a localnetwork;
- hardware clock based on m/s KR512VI1 provides real time counting and alarm clock operation;
- IDE controller allows you to connect up to two hard drives (HDD) of any capacity.
With the help of an additional controller it became possible to use a PC/XT keyboard both in CP/M mode and in "Sinclair" mode. The keyboard
controller is a functionally complete and independent unit and can
be installed both in computers previously released by us, and in any
"Sinclair".
The EPROM programmer developed by our specialists allows
to program various types of microcircuits with ultraviolet erasing, its
software makes it possible to use various
programming algorithms.
Using the file shell "CoruK" (type "NORTON") makes working on the computer convenient and fast, in addition, it makes it possible to transfer files from disks of other formats (MS-DOS, TR-DOS), which makes “PROFI
+” an excellent tool for a wide range of users.
The presence of a professional keyboard and a “Norton” shell has a particularly
beneficial effect when teaching children: the child immediately gets used to the
standard arrangement keys and he doesn'tIn the future, you will have to relearn when switching to a PC.
The popularity of a computer is largely determined by the availability of a sufficient amount of software for it. Our computer is no exception.
The company's programmers are working on the production of original software
products compatible in external formats with other computers.
Among the software products, the following should be especially noted:
- text The editor "WRITE SYSTEM" provides professional work with
texts of different formats: IBM PC - ALT encoding, "Robotron" - KOI encoding, etc.;
- graphic editor "Grand Croix", which allows you to work with
graphic images, in including those transferred from the IBM PC;
- utilities "PCXV-EGA", "PCX256-VGA", "GIFV" view and transfer
graphic files from the IBM PC;
- spreadsheet "SuperCalc 2" allows you to make calculations from the family
budget to the average economy enterprise, has a tracking "help", as well as
detailed documentation;
- the database management system "dBase II" allows you to create and
work effectively with databases;
- a universal copier for TR-DOS PCOPY-2 allows you to copy floppy disks
TR-DOS fromthe greatest speed and convenience;
- the electronic disk management program "NEUT" makes it possible to
organize a separate disk in the computer's memory;
- high-level languages ADA, FORTRAN, TURBO PASCAL, LISP, COBOL, C, PL1,
BASIC, PROLOG. They provide the opportunity to independently write programs.
It is also possible to use software from other computers
working under the control of the CP/M operating system and compatible with it.
In addition to professional software, the programmers of our
company have written and continue to work on writing gaming software. Already on sale: card solitaire "SOLITAIR", games
"COLUMNS", "MOLE", "TETRIS", "PINGVIN", "KOLOBOK", "MINER", "PITON",
"LINES" and many others.
It is also worth noting the program "ADJ", which allows you to play through the "Covox" DAC, music files obtained by processing files of the "*.STM" format with an IBM PC, which gives high-quality reproduction of four-voice
stereo music.
Our company is working on improving and simplifying the "PROFI
+" computer, expanding areas of its application in everyday life, industry and science.
We wish you success in the assemblyuniversal personal computer "PROFI+".
If you have any problems during the process of setting up and using the computer
contact our company.

With such a slow screen, working in this editor looked nothing less than masochism
and all the professionalism lay in the ability to expect the text to be redrawn
without swearing. A simple adapter like CGA would have solved this problem once and for all - but then, for some reason, no one had the time to do so, everyone was intensively expanding the ZX brake video adapter without thinking about the consequences. First they did it and then
they tried to apply it... but it didn’t work IMHO.

If this is 1991, then for that time it is very cool.

Not true. A very good editor, there is no sluggishness when redrawing text
and never has been. You are confused with some other editor not in the SR/M OS.
The editor is no worse than "Lexicon 1.4" on the computer. I very often
use the editor "WRITE SYSTEM 3.0", especially when drawing diagrams in pseudographics and from it I print on dot matrix and inkjet printers.
This editor is in second place after IS-DOS EDIT OS. "WRITE SYSTEM" has three
disadvantages:
1. Memory is limited to only 41 kb.
2. When formatting, it does not break up words when transferred, transferring only whole
words.
3. Cannot select blocks in the form of a rectangle.

So, dear, figure it out first, and then draw conclusions. I
prefer this editor better than Microsoft Word 2000.

In CP/M I was also TED (also from Kramis) it was slow....
By the way, the “lexicon” on 1840 (or on 1841 I don’t remember) worked slower than Write
on ZX

By the way, it didn’t work out for me with my CM6337, it was talking some nonsense until I
dropped it... (to death, all the condos are screwed, a lot of garbage... and much more)
VC> after OS IS-DOS EDIT. "WRITE SYSTEM" has three
Forties, but why is IS-DOS EDIT better??
For me, Write 3 is better than the IS-DOS editor
