Spectrum, what should it be? (was Promotion...)

Hello, All!

A letter that I thought was interesting flew to ZX.SPECTRUM, and I couldn’t resist and
forwarded it here. Suddenly someone unsubscribed from there! :)

Well, here I go...
Screw controller
A handkerchief measuring 1 inch. sq. The connector for KAY or SCORPION and
PROFI
To the rest, it is attached with wires to the processor and throws wires from
the ROM control leg.
The board has an 8 kilo ROM, a primary boot and its own 16 kilo RAM
on
static and that 24 kilos of support.
The screw is supported up to 500 meg, higher In my opinion, it is not profitable,
costs too much... Formatscrew MS-DOS FAT16, so
you can
safely remove and work on a computer under the emulator with support
of .TRD disk images. Only standard entry points are emulated,
by #3D2F control is almost immediately transferred to the TR DOS ROM.
There is also an entry point #3F00 by which only the
screw controller is turned on and the screw ports are available for universal use... True, for this you will also need to issue a command...
And so in the commander there will be programs for working with the screw...
Example:

LD HL,PATH
LD DE,WHERE
LD C, #5 ;LOADING COMMAND (FOR EXAMPLE)
CALL #3F00

PATH DEFM "GAME\PINBALL\BALL.EXE"

Upload the BALL.EXE file to the address WHERE

Also for aesthetes, the controller will have a clock and a frame drive of
1Meg
They are not in the standard configuration.
That seems to be all for now that is not clear or there are any questions,
write
to the echo or to my home... ;+)

For this I say goodbye, Oleg.

Hello, Roman!

5 Apr 98 Roman Milukov was chewing his fingers in the hope that Everyone would read about Re:
Spectrum, what should it be like? (it was Promotion...), I read it and decided to answer:

RM> unsubscribed from there! :)
I began to think about this more and more often, but I haven’t decided yet, although
there is a prospect.

Sincerely, Andrey.

TK> Very interesting... We urgently need to invite him here...
Yeah. He did not write from FIDO. And where it comes from is not clear. We need to catch him in ZX.SPECTRUM
