Hello everyone.

MoR> So-o-o-o... I see - there is a lull here... We are taking
MoR> measures...
MoR> From today until the first of December, all
MoR> rules have been canceled. Everyone is free to express whatever they want, post
MoR> whatever they want, and... insult the moderator to the hilt :)

One, Two, Three, Four, Five, I'm starting to kindle FLAIM! ;-)

People! Is there a pentagon in nature on which the following are already installed and configured on the board: Turbo, 512, Cash, Sinclair INT, Turbo VG,
etc.? But it is the Pentagon (not Pro, ATM...) or a COMPLETELY compatible computer with
it.

P.S. Taking this opportunity, I say hello
to all the evil moderators :-P


That’s the end of the letter, whoever read it was a great fellow :-)

From Eugene Safronov To All 5 November 1998

Greetings to you, _Roman_!

Yes. I once saw such a miracle. On the board, in addition to the above-mentioned bells and whistles
there was also an electronic sound controller for AY, and AY itself, of course!

From Tim Kelly To All 6 November 1998

I greet you from the bottom of my heart, Roman!

Wed Nov 04, 1998, Roman Zagorskih squeezed the keyboard, hoping that the following words would reach All:

RZ> One, Two, Three, Four, Five, I’m starting to kindle FLAIM! ;-)

Flame, or what? Right now I'll light it up for you... ;[~~~

From Kirill Chubenko To All 6 November 1998

Dreamer.... If you just take GMX, create with the help of a PC and some kind of mother
firmware for GMX, load this very firmware into GMX and.... Oops, and we get everything
that you described above... True, with its glitches (for example, border effects are not
entirely Pentyukhov's)... :)

Happy, Roman. It was nice to chat.

With lots of best wishes - KIR.

From Roman Zagorskih To All 7 November 1998

RZ>> COMPLETELY compatible with
RZ>> computer.
ES> Yes. I once saw such a miracle. On the board, in addition to the above-mentioned gadgets, there was also an electronic sound regulator for AY, and AY itself, of course!
Wow!
I'm jumping out of my chair Bang! :-)

Where can I buy this? :-)

From Eudgine Palenock To All 7 November 1998

Hello, Eugene!

Once, 05 Nov 98, someone Eugene Safronov wrote to Roman Zagorskih,
on the topic 'Pentagon II'...

Maybe someone made it in a single copy? Well, there is electronic control of the AY sound on the Pentagon-Solon, and on the ATAS-256 there are generally 8 levels via port #3F directly from Basic...

Sincerely, Evgeniy aka EVP.


From Roman Zagorskih To All 8 November 1998

TK> Wow! :)
That's it! I'm silent, I'm silent! ;+)

PS. In my opinion, the echo is dying out because of its unpopularity, and because of its
short range ;).
If the echo went as far as the ZX.SPECTRUM echo goes,
then...

From Alexei Bugai To All 8 November 1998

_/.-= Peace unto you, Roman! =-._/

08 Nov 98 Roman Zagorskih write to Tim Kelly about "Pentagon II":

RZ> PS. In my opinion, the echo is dying out because of its unpopularity, and because of its
RZ> short range ;).

:)

RZ> If the echo went as far as the echo of ZX.SPECTRUM,
RZ> goes, then...

it would be ZX.SPECTRUM

RZ> That’s the end of the letter, whoever read that fellow :-)

P.S. Can you see me? ;)

... Hakuna Matata! What a wonderfull phrase!

From MAKSAN Fayzullin To All 9 November 1998

However, all my life (realspec :) I have been receiving her mail uninterruptedly, and I
would not say that the echo is empty, even in this last period discussed by you,
upsetting and surprising you! But 5005 is Tomsk...Siberian Athens...on the swamps. Not Magadan, of course (and that’s good!), but not the near world either...
It seems that the problem is not in the passivity of subscribers, but somewhere in the intermediate
nodes.
I read everything, but I don’t write... (“Chukchi is not a reader - Chukchi is a writer”, but I’m not
Chukchi...;) Please do not be offended by those who are on cacti, that is very vulnerable, I
is far from considering everyone who writes here to be Chukchi...except flamers...
...sorry...

Ksan, aka MAKSAN-senior

From Eugene Safronov To All 9 November 1998

ES>> sound for AY, and AY himself, of course!
RZ> Wow!
Ugh!

RZ> I'm right out of my chair Whoop! :-)
:-)

RZ> Where can I buy something like this? :-)
I have no idea - I’ve only seen such a miracle once, and that was not on sale but in someone else’s hands!

... Hy neither what the hell... What did you think?

From Dmitry Sharikov To All 10 November 1998

RZ> ZX.SPECTRUM, then...

And it’s generally impossible to read, the topics are almost all about emulators ;-(
So it’s not interesting :(

With best wishes, Dmitry.


From Kirill Frolov To All 11 November 1998

RZ> If the echo went as far as the echo of ZX.SPECTRUM,
RZ> goes, then...

A ZX.SPECTRUM f#(k!n9 $h!7 !!! There are only emulators there
asking the question 'What is .$B?'...

W!7h Be$7 W!$he$, FK0.


From Alexey Guryev To All 11 November 1998

Glad to “see” you, Kirill! =)

Or take SPRINTER, install the firmware for it, as you described,
load this firmware from the file, and again, everything is as Roman described.
Currently without glitches. =) For example, curb effects will be purely pentyukhovye. =)

All the best! =)

Well, about a hundred messages in a couple of days, something doesn’t really look like extinction =)~

Well, as for unpopularity, you bent it, personally, the first thing I do is get into the echo of
realists... How does it say “your shirt is closer to the body..” ;)

There was a case - Kirill Frolov wrote to Alexey Guryev...

Well, that's it... Frolov got carried away... Oh, sorry, he got carried away!
Can't you give me a piece of paper?

AG>> Current without glitches. =) For example, border effects will be purely
AG>> pentyukhovye. =)
KF> All those people who screwed up on the Sprinter

I have not yet heard any negative
statements from any Sprin owner. Nobody argues that the computer is still “raw”, but
and like you, no one yells!


[skip]

KF> for some reason constantly
KF> they are trying to convince that their _OFFTOPIC_ is better than any Spectrum,
KF> Spectrum Masdai etc...

Show me where I said this in this letter.

KF> Yes, he It's really better from a purely hardware side, just like
KF> a more powerful computer. But just don't need fairy tales 'If you take...' -

"Oh fool, oh fool... (c) LD" For your birthday/New Year/7th
November/Friday the 13th
I will give you a gift - a stamp with this legendary LD phrase... What you have is not a letter, but a masterpiece of an senile nature. When you hear the word “Sprinter,” you immediately fall into an epileptic fit. =(
Once again, CAREFULLY read my letter, and the previousto him
Kira's letter.


[skip]

KF> right now, when you are reading this letter, can you at least listen to Bobovsky's Mouzons
KF> for the agrik?

no, I can't.


[skip]

KF> You can't, because the agrik
KF> is not yet emulated and is not alive.

Absent envelope and reading of AY ports.


[skip]

KF> Is it possible for you to emulate
KF> a pentagon in a _modern_ configuration? Impossible until
KF> until the developer takes care of it, and he has other things to do.

Damn, we were talking about GMX and Sprin! ABOUT THE CAPABILITIES of these machines!
There was not a word about right this very second. take it and do it!


[skip]

KF> that’s a lot. It costs more than a pussy (a pussy is not 600 rubles with a crimson
monitor).

Damn, buy yourself a hemp and get the hell out! :-E The Spekov world will become much calmer when you can write R.I.P. on your
“activity”!!! :E


[skip]

KF> And I deviated a little - I don’t care at all what will happen
KF> to the sprinter if you “bump” the firmware for it (you still won’t mess up)

If it were indifferent, you wouldn’t be screaming like a crazy person here. However,
why “how”?..


[skip]

KF> and I’m not interested in seeing Peters advertising anywhere.

Peters will take care of their advertising themselves.

P.S. Get treatment until youпоздно!

AG> Damn, we were talking about GMX and Sprin! ABOUT THE CAPABILITIES of these machines!
AG> There was not a word about right this very second. take it and do it!

What am I talking about? Or the bits bend.

AG> Damn, buy yourself some hemp and get the fuck out! :-E V

Well, we can start with the fact that you have _NOT_SPECTRUM_, not me.

AG> If it were indifferent, you wouldn’t be screaming like a crazy person here. However,
AG> why “how”?..

I still suggest you, with childish phrases, go somewhere to SU.TORMOZ

AG> “Peters” will take care of their advertising themselves.

They carry it out through Sprinter users, no other way.
The question is - did you buy it or do you have it under your signature?

AG> P.S. Get treatment before it's too late!

Shut up before it's too late.

With best wishes, Kirill Frolov.


From Igor Krauklis To All 16 November 1998

AG> the speck world will become much calmer when your
AG> “activity” can be written R.I.P.!!! :E

No, I don’t agree. :( There is no peace of mind
rules. Don’t forget that KF did quite a lot
for the grid and spec!

From Oleg Pritula To All 17 November 1998

Bah! Who do I see! Kirill, is that you?!

Once 14 Nov 98 at 15:51:20
Alexey Guryev and Kirill Frolov heatedly discussed the topic of Pentagon II
I would like to take this opportunity to comment on this dialogue


[all profanity has been left out] 8)

From Aleksandr Majorov To All 17 November 1998

well, it’s logical - who will buy a “negative” computer!

KF> Well, I haven’t heard that at least one owner of an offtopic like crazy
KF> has not constantly tried to convince everyone he can that the sprinter
KF> rules 4-ever and you should definitely buy it, it’s better than 600 Pentium,
KF> scorpio masday etc...

From Igor Krauklis To All 18 November 1998

I felt sorry for the money to buy 0FFtopic. ;)))))

[.]

KF> They carry it out through sprinter users, no other way.
KF> The question is - did you buy it or did it come from you under a receipt?

according to my secret x-file data - I bought it. :)

From Dmitry Lomov To All 19 November 1998

AM> you can do the firmware yourself!

but here you are wrong.
theoretically - if you shake a Mac into a diagram (it won’t work, IMHO),
take a stump, install Windows :) (you can 3.11), get a free MAX+ (24 meters) from the Internet, learn how to work with it (a month is enough),
deal with the fact that Vanya done there... forward.


All the best.
Dmitry.

When the moderator turned away from the screen on 11/17/98 at exactly 22:32:00
Aleksandr Majorov wrote to Kirill Frolov about Pentagon II


AM> well, it’s logical - who will buy a “negative” computer!

It will become such only after the purchase.

AM> screw it up! I personally know one of these!
AM> for him, sprin is just a fast speck that can write
AM> to 1.44 discs, which is very convenient for him...

Compare with your emulator and rejoice...

From Aleksandr Majorov To All 19 November 1998

KF> The hardware and software for this will cost so much (not hacks,
KF> but like licensed everything) that it will be cheaper than 600 pennies.

since when did a hacker talk about licensed
purchase of software/hardware?

and tell me _what_ do you mean by "equipment"?

KF> Or do you know any other methods?

I came up with it on the spot - IMHO the Peters won't mind
if someone writes firmware
for _their_ equipment, or am I wrong?

From Alexey Guryev To All 19 November 1998

OP> By the way, how much is the Sprinter worth now?

Same as before. $95 fee, $150 fee...

All the best!
