                  MAGNET


  On a disk with all sorts of prog on
Spectrum, lived his ubovolstvie byte
Name Magnet.Byl he ordinary byte
on diske.Vsya his extraordinary was that it was recorded on the 
disc is not along the magnetic layer, as should normally be

stored information, and poperek.Tem least drives (from TEAC'a 
to ROBOTRON'a) for the mistake it was not considered, although 
some have drive, he was # FE, while others read as # C3, 
vobschem stable status is not imel.Prozhival Magnet in a small 
buffere.Oh and envied him the files "(which is not so often) 
But you judge for yourself: buffer served three (3) kilobyte, 
each cell memory was Zaksor and had its

controlling kod.Vnutri was like in the homes
Ordinary files: the entire frame house potderzhival stack walls 
are plastered with impressive codes such as LD B, IXL, or BIT 
0, (IY-12), two walls of windows were made by

NOP * (at that time was very difficult to get a nice team, 
well, NOP * general was a deficit) from a single window opened

vellikolepny view of the bytes, jumping from
place to place under the command of LDIR'a from
another window was visible and the virtual screen
The pride of this disc, full of prog Swapping virtual screen 
with the help of the stack. 

  But the unusual nature of Magneto is not limited to
his 'transversality'. It was in that
Magnet could manipulate any bytes, as he zahochetsya.Pomnitsya, 
even the case when he took the proud Magnet # FF, loaded into 
the address # 8C3D and inverted it, putting the laughter in 
front of the whole disc. 

  Friends Magneto had bytes from addresses
RAM with byte PZUshnymi he dating neimel, as most of his time
He spent at diske.Magnet often stare at attributochek, 
especially if they fleshalis under preemption, and 
attributochki did not miss a walk around the Moment his home 
and rotate the fifth bit, maybe take notice. 


               GET THE SAME ...


  Master disc with Magneto was rasposledny lamer named Psi.

  Once Psi gave his friend, yet
more Lameroo Deletu, drive Magnetom.Delet liked order, as he 
calls it, on a disk and then uploaded NORT (Russian version).'s 
Hand reached for the button GRAPH and shows in unnecessary 
Deletu, judging by the names of files, programmy.Zatem hand 
gently reached for the button '8 '. Only Now before Magneto 
realized that proishodit.Ot fear the prospect of being erased, 
he reset the 5th and 7th bity.Bystro, seizing everything you 
need Magnet ran out of home and rushed to besopastnoy 
zone.Bezhat had a long, Oh so many shows in

Delet.Nastupil tense moment: only
Magnet foot off the previous track, as
He immediately filled with NOPs. Here Magnet
made despairs jerk and clung to some cell pamyati.Slava God, 
the head drive stopped! 


          Pursuit DISK DOCTOR'e


  Just a few thousand cycles, which Magneto appeared several 
thousand interruptions, he could not come to chuvstva.Ego voice 
called out: "Hey, there, on the edge of your cell under the 
format-dirty swearing voice-you there as to how long hanging? 
"Magneto wanted to sort of fill the upper Nahal tetraidu, but 
remembering what position he is still forced himself:" I beg 
your pardon, # E1 (just so looked host cells), but I just do 
not zakotali DELET'om. " 

  -There would be you and the road, the boy (actually, # E1, 
looked at the many millions cycles over magnetite), but if you 
keep still survived, then crawled, did not collapse until my 
cell. 

  Having made some effort, Magnet was
within the sort of long-standing osobnyachka.U
gone out of fashion prefixes commands for index registers (it 
later easily explained by the fact that the neighborhood housed 
command codes and POP IX PUSH IY and therefore # E1 (or POP HL) 
was required to have at home prefixes according to the law 
number 310 of ROM 12.11.1991 at RTC). On

walls were pyshnobitnye attributochki, quite rasksorennye, so 
to speak, what encoder napisal.V general, in cell it was cozy.


  When Magnet told what happened, POP HL angry:

  - Oh my, this Psi! Just went to the roof of lamer.

  He stood for a couple of thousand contacts and said the 
following: 

  - Do you know a guy like anyway, but
leave you here to see prices I do not want.

  - No question, I'll put in a cell at
previous dorozhke.Tam now NOP'ovoe whole field.

  - Excellent.

  There came a crackling tortured drive
and drive with Magneto was followed by a gap.

  - That's furious Fig.-POP HL-like this
scum Delet, and I was not erased!

  - No-em, do not you slyshyte, he also
zaschel to drive doktor.Neuzheli it will go here rasi srrki one 
byte? Yes his brain is not enough even with a control in prog 
this deal! 

  Unfortunately Magnet did not know that Deleta
to drive the doctor was three volumes of instructions
"HELP for DISK DOCTOR'u for the warrant."

  The fact is that while Magneto and POP HL chatted and 
disassembled, Delet tried to load UFO II (not enough that he 
postayanno confused drive with power supply, which drives

spoiled, being in proximity to the transformer, duck, he was 
still piously believe that the game will go to 48K). At this 
time an attempt ended differently: The disc is unreadable (due 
to that Magneto and # E1 were in the same

cell) and the screen will display:
Disc Error. Rety / Abort / Ignore.Takoy brazen
Delet antics of companies have not yet received any
never! long, with sweat on his face, he sought to
"Advanced English" translation unfortunate nadpisey.V general, 
not half an hour as he naschel translation (thank God realized 
that the translation must be from English, not Latin!). 

  He found translate. brain stiffened and gave the idea of 
​​downloading DISK DOCTOR'a and fingertips lay three volumes 
instruktsiy.Vot everything that happened until the Magnet and 
POP HL interviewed. 

  The head of the drive came on a track with track Magnetom.Ves 
frisky duplicated in Computer RAM Deleta.Nu and rotten same here

was!

  "What do you do?" Thought Magnet.Ot stress his seventh bit of 
twitching in the inversion. 

  -Wait, wait - vdug he blurted out, "you mozhes 
samovypolnitsya? 

  -I do not think, "replied POP HL,-such tricks
not for my beats!

  -If you come, we both saved!

  -And you ubereeshsya Finally, with their problems?

  -No questions asked!

  -I will try.

  -So ... listen to me carefully! Through
one million cycles do self-fulfillment, okay?

  -Where are clearer!

  -Okay, bye.

  Magnet, which has rushed to the spirit of the stack, with
very difficult fit on top of it.
-If only the byte did not disappoint me!

  As soon as he thought about it, it
picked up the flow of electricity and suffered
away from OZU.Vse happened molnienosno.On
later and did not remember how was outside of RAM, a register 
pair HL!
