Network - in principle, there is, via BE31 is implemented with RS-232. It's up to the software. Definitely
and they will get around to it.
Add GS-512 here - I connected it earlier when I was stationed in Klaipeda. After
moving to Moscow, I didn’t get around to connecting it.
Another integral part of my subject is an eight-channel ADC. There is even software for it
in CP/M.
TiM0Na/AREAsoft from
Novosibirsk also has exactly the same subject (with everything listed) - only there is no TS and the CD is not connected. But there are self-made
2MB of RAM on two SIMMs, respectively (the second mega according to the Pro standard) and 32Kb
CACHE (suspended through a battery, so the contents do not disappear after
the computer is turned off).
Maksagor, NedoPC group. ATM-turbo 2+
