   Hello. I would like to purchase
your company: Mainboard KAY-256/Turbo + (+ description of the 
scheme), the controller drive (if it is not on the motherboard) 
+ 5.25''floppy drive (can be used), system

CD with IS-DOS. In short, I want to collect
computer. Power supply and keypad for
I have. Actually, I would have bought a computer in
collection if the price is not more than 1200 rubles.

   If possible, do my order COD (do not want to lose 3.2
months on an empty correspondence). If not, then
send us your terms. I would also like
get complete information about KEY and the other
Hardware, you proizodite or intend to produce. Can I buy
you have kits for the collection of self-KEY? I have several 
friends who would like to have a computer, but with tight 
finances.

                       Dear N!


   1. Already a year or so as the board KAY-256-TURBO 
discontinued. Currently in production fees KAY-1024/Turbo. 

   2. Price of the computer assembly (at the
moment 02.02.1999) 650 x 2.2 = 1430). In
next month, probably, the price exceeded
polutoratysyachny abroad. Explain why.
650 r. - Doavgustovskaya price. At a cost of approximately 1 / 
3 - a $ (Bucks) and 2 / 3 - U.S. Dollars. We believe the price 
change, given the inflation and the devaluation of the ruble, 
inflation - roughly 100% devaluation (22.7/6.5 - 1) x 100

% = 249%. Total:

   650 r x 1 / 3 x (1 + 2.49) = 756 p.

   650 r x 2 / 3 x (1 + 1.00) = 867
r./1.623 p.

   It is easy to see that at this price point lowered by: 
1.623/1.430 = 13 %.


   3. COD not sell. In
this case the price would be 1.5 times higher.
I doubt that you have that kind of money, as well as their 
willingness to pay. Judging by the fact that an envelope with 
stamps for reply You have not invested, the money really

tight.

   4. The fullest possible information on
KAY'yu for free access does not exist.
There are intra documentation. Quite a lot of material on a 
series of computers KAY available in electronic journals ZX-F, 
KrNew's, ZX-club (St. Petersburg, Krasnodar, Barnaul, 
respectively). Conceptual development of a series KAY there in 
the magazine Radio amateurs' * Minsk, 1993), ibid

a description of the first, the basic model v
1.0 (now available Model v 1.5
KAY-1024).

   5. Sets (namely the plural
those!) can be purchased, see the ZX-F № 7
(Or the number 8? - I can not remember) "Exports of 
technology"). Doing this only makes sense if you intend to 
regularly do motherboards. It is no longer

1992, and for good manufacturing
need a culture of production,
ie a good supply of accessories
(If you can get all the schemes Series
1533? and Z80C0010?, but with time 27S512
access less than 15 ONS?)

   Machines actually work on the 7.0 MHz
(Effective frequency of 6.4 MHz), so
requirements to a set of fairly
Hard. If you will stuff fees in 1992
year - than get, will get buggy
com, which would be impossible to work. Ie Now we need the 
professional work of 

manufacturing, it is not amateur
design.

Dear Nemo!


   After viewing ZX-Format № 8 schemes
HDD-IDC, I had a few questions:

   1) Wherever there is correctly identified with a sign 
inversion signal IDR, IDR /, 10W, 10W /? 

   2) Signal AST in the scheme - it is the ACT?

   3) The signals SS1, CS2 in the scheme - it SS0
and CS1 on the hard drive connector?

   4) The burning of the system connector is
signal A3 in the scheme to nowhere (11N D
6.2)?

   5) Do not understand what the notation refers MA1 on the 
right side of the element D 6.2.


   6) Can I use the s / s 1533 series (D3-D4).

   I would also like to know whether the issue was worked not 
to use hard drive with the interface it with TR-DOS-disks, 
where, from whom, how and at what price you can buy IS-DOS 
Classic 4.0, ISDOS CHC 4.0 to latest versions. 

   And another question: could you please send
scheme, and a keyboard controller with IBM firmware ROM 
(probably available in the scheme) or publish in the next issue 
of "Format'a". By the way, can we use it in the EC-VSCHY 
without additional drivers? 

   Thank you for your reply and congratulations on the upcoming 
holiday. 


   P.S. Please send the price list for your
produce or refine factor.

Dear N!


   1. The scheme is a mistake that had been
admitted to the fault editorial ZX-F, they were
available technology files,
whose fault is excluded. Actually
this is a technical question related to publishing, its 
specifics. 

   After dialing scheme requires one more
Stage / person, namely teh.red. (Technical Editor). Man (one) 
simply unable to keep track of all your mistakes

- Need "unblinkered" eye of another man. If the public is 
paying for soft, then would be for them and tehred ... You are 
not the first who discovered the error, if I mistake not, of 
three pieces. In the ZX-F № 9 they will be listed. You also can 
help that will send the scheme.


   2. Use a series of schemes in 1533 is not
recommended. This is a very good technology (ALS) and good 
works (Integral - Belarus), that's what it means that there is 
in Belarus Soros!), Which still functions normally (!). Series 
1533 has a higher speed and greater slew rate signal output,

what bad effect on the cable (screw,
respectively), which becomes
"Long line" so even with the noise. On
practice it is likely unstable
work.

   3. Working with TR-DOS disks available in the
KAY-1024 by "e-drive" C "
at the level of "blanks" - t.e.IS-DOS-files
type of data (not performed properly in
OS, but operable in all other
senses), the type of extension:. trd. Return to
system, of course, excluded, ie
IS-DOS operating as a fast loader
TR-DOS disk with screws. Another way,
probably does not exist at all, ie it
impossible in principle, because record
TR-DOS'a is no record of operating systems (IS-DOS'a
or any other hypothetical), there is no
"Axial" fields.

   4. By ISDOS - sm.podkatalog.

   5. The keyboard controller is described, if
I'm not mistaken, the number 5 for 1995 in the journal
Radio amateurs "/" Your computer "(that's what
hence, no Soros in Belarus!). Firmware
is not there, it is one to one of the "Profi",

about its use in TRDOS imaginary, since

Moreover, possible joint work

As for firmware - how do it for you

It's the same 2 KB ... You can, of course, print ... But agree 
that it's all too burdensome for a single order. Electronics is

year, until "Will resolve" old shit "and the rise

   Sincerely.

   1. Almost all the literature, actually on Spectrum'u, 
previously used, ie used. Subdirectory is not ready yet, When 
done, the particular variety you'll find there ... 

   2. Software under GS - pulls Logros, I do not
I can keep track of not my business ...

   3. C Nemo specializes in general, to hard'e. Related 
products and trade in non-core and hard work - and that means 
the road for you. When You finally find yourself a dealer 
(select, appoint, etc., etc.)? 

   Very difficult for me to work with Ukraine
by mail to individual customers.

   Well, consider, finally, that it is better
have one representative in their own and pay him, than to pay 
for bad work (Badly organized), and therefore expensive.

Amplifiers are interested by "sound technicians."

   I have a number of questions and I will
very grateful to you if you answer
them. To save you time, you can
answer is simple: "yes-no questions.

   1. Amplifiers and other devices
offered by "sound technicians" in assembled form are checked 
for serviceability? 

   2. Amplifiers kombiniovannye (with heads) are volume, tone?

   3. Amplifiers (EQ with volume control and balance)
3-6-band stereo?

   4. Indicators 8'', 12''Diode two
channel?

   5. Pre-amp for 157
UL1 has no tone control, volume control?

   6. He's on 2 channels?

   7. In your catalog at number 01/08
proposed controller drive. But
marked as only la dealers and systematic procurement. If I pay 
money for this device, can I hope

get it? The fact that my homemade controller was crash and ask 
me there is nowhere else. 


   Sincerely.

Hello, N!


   On amplifiers:

   1. All devices are offered in assembled all prozvoditelyami 
any lines are tested for performance. Otherwise it is 
impossible to trade. 

   2. Amplifiers from the head - are specialized amplifiers 
with a special response under the head and give linear signal,

ie 250tV, and already he has handled more tembroblokom.

   4. All prices are listed per channel (lane) for LEDs.

   3. Indicators - it's ALWAYS on the block

levels, etc. etc.).

   5. 157 UL1 - a power HEAD,
ie it increases to 250 mB regulators
Tone placed on the channel.

   6. 157 UL1 - it's two channels.

   7. This note simply states
that if you can not connect your
drawn, paid and sent to the controller, then no you do not help 
in this be. Ie If you pay, then, of course, get - in fact, with 
the scheme but in order to connect to an arbitrary plan

Spectrum'a, must be good because controller connects
not only to the Z80, but also to other internal
Computer circuits series KAY. Those who buys regularly, are 
familiar with this specificity. To connect a single controller 
only one time is unlikely to bother so.

following plan: 

   1. Prices (plus the periphery);

   2. Brief description;

   3. Compatible with Scorpion ZS-256.

   With regards to the third paragraph: I have 5 years

"Fly", because It was, as I later found pirated products, I 
could not repair it in the "Scorpion", and their

Boards are now quite expensive. I am therefore very interested 
in compatibility with KAY Scorpion'om in programmatic and 
technical (Hardware) parts, ie Port # 1FFD, compatibility with 
ProfPZU and just ROM from Scorpy, because I'm very used to and 
I can not live without the shadow Monitor - debugger. I'd also 
like to know about compatibility with peripherals KAY Scorpy 
(General Sound, GMXi etc.).

Hello, N!


   1. On boards KAY:

   1.1. Prices: sm.pratss list.

   1.2. Brief description: sm.reklama.

   1.3. Compatible with Scorpion ZS-256.


   KAY and Scorpion, with all its external
similarity - they are different machines. Although
compared with other Spectrum-clones
they are the most architecturally similar. They
are fully compatible at the architectural level Spectrum-128, 
partially compatible level of 256 KB (control bit extension

256K RAM is the same, but the ability to make some other bits 
have different functions). There is no compatibility in the 
shadow monitor SMUC'u because they involve a joint 
installation. The manner in which it done in Scorp'e was 
recognized in 1996-97 years. unpromising and developed KAY

ideologically, conceptually and, of course, circuit the other 
way. In This fully applies to the GMX. The problems that did 
not resolve Scorpion'u (or managed to solve only partially) in 
KAY'e solved completely when SUBSTANTIALLY lower cost and 
therefore price. "Soldering", which is inevitable when 
extensions Scorp'a completely excluded KAY'yah. Probably your 
machine out of failure is a result of "soldering iron"

ie as a result of unprofessional
intervention in the computer. "Pirate"
the origin of your car's just an excuse to withdraw a claim as 
a loss-making operation. Whether car brand, the result would

the same. in ProfPZU a professional is only an approach with 
which money is separate from the population. There is no other 
relationship to professionalism ProfPZU no. B KAY'e functions 
performed ProfPZU assigned to the OS (operating system)

ISDOS, which sits not in ROM, and RAM
(Or on the screw) 1 MB (KAY-1024). Very
sorry that you have thrown out a number of
money down the drain, once as a result of
"The broken trough". But it is a question for us
Scorpion, and not to the firm C Nemo.

   As for the controller debugger, then
it really justified to V.2.95, - not
above. In KAY-1024 is currently the shadow
Monitor not available, but at the moment
being made to install in KAY-1024
Monitor STS.

   KAY compatible with standard extension bus Nemo-Bus, which 
are produced by independent firms (eg, GS, Kempston MOUSE, 
XTR-modem). GMX is not a busbar EXPANSION. If you try to 
install it in KAY, it is likely everything yourself, as now, 
the "the broken trough", as a "soldering iron" in its purest 
form. Pay attention to items in the Advertising: "Any dopayki / 
free soldering manufacturer (ie, firm C Nemo) Which WHATSOEVER 
obligations. "Do not need to shove his hands to where the head 
does not climb. No one is required and will not tolerate 
losses, eliminating the effects of nonprofessional of the 
hardware - it Very expensive. Ask the company to establish 
Scorpion GMX you in charge, and this all together in a working 
form, with a guarantee Sent to you. Do not forget to ask

price.

   As a compromise, I suggest you pay Scorp-256 (not
Turbo - turbo-board buggy and trade
their own peril) with the shadow businesses not newer
than V2.95 (see p.1.7 price list), of course, used (used) 
because Pirate production deal is not good. and it is not 
profitable, KAY more technological.
