  In the first issue of our newspaper, I want to talk about
your computer, those distortions, which I
it has done, and where the perversion detail
described (in the sense sealed).

  Firstly, once must admit that
I have a ZX Scorpion-256, naturally the "left"
(Greetings S. Zonov). He got me through
exchange for some kinds of consumer goods produced by one of 
the leading companies capital of Mordovia, and he was mildly not

completely operational.

  The first thing I did was stuffed skorpionovskuyu
fee Minitower and connect it to block pisishny
supply and 5.25-inch floppy drive. After that my
"Box" immediately earned and worked in this configuration, 
quite long time until I I saw one of his fellow second disk 
drive 3.5-inch and Kempston Mouse. 

  I hooked up the drive on the same day when purchased it in 
"Fargo", as described in the ZX-REVIEW # 3 1996. 

  With the "mouse" had a little tricky. Description
Kempston Mouse Interface in the twentieth spectrophone
not quite complete. Earned a "mouse" only after
how I refined it a bit. Yes, and IBM-ovsky
"Mouse" had to rework as described in the ZX-FORMAT
# 5.

  Then there were these small improvements: TURBOrezhim VG93 
(ZX-REVIEW # April 1995 d), the pseudo-TURBO-mode Z80 (increase 
productivity by 3%, not God knows what, but begin to work some 
of the programs that have not previously worked, for example. 
ZX-POWER # 2 description of the journal OBERON # 3). Introduced 
strict decoding port # 1FFD (ZX-REVIEW # 4-5, 1996), after What 
struck up digitizing (thanks to Yura, suggested). 

  Then I gathered COVOX (DAC with bipolar power supply;
Newspaper ONLINE # 28). But mono sound, it is not the same and
so we had to do SOUNDRIVE v1.02 - quad DAC. Now I SOUNDRIVE 
v1.05 + UPGRADE (Journal ODISSEY # 2) - a device that connects 
and four-channel COVOX SOUNDRIVE in one bottle.


  The fact that now I collect, especially the spread until I 
(earn it?), Except to say that collect HDD IDE Interface, 
DIGITAL OSCILLOGRAF, full communication ports COM1 and COM2, DAC

and video port.

  But most importantly, what I gathered, it is a system bus, 
consisting of 5 connected in parallel connectors SNP-64, with 4 
of them are inside the computer and 1 outside. Now all their 
devices I connect easy installation in one of razemov.Ochen 
convenient. Collect, you will not regret ...


  Well that's all. If anyone is interested in these 
improvements, is ready to talk about them more in detail and 
assist in the assembly.
