       Hello.


       Please send new prices. AND
Could you talk to Akimovym.M.A
(Logros). And then on March 15 I sent him a postal money order 
55 rubles and ordered: "Sage School - 15 rubles.," Net Walk "-

20 rub., System program ROM C-N 113
- 10 rubles and 10 rubles for the postage.
A month passed, and I got nothing, then I wrote him a letter, 
but again received no response. Talk to him please, and eslik 
it has a conscience, then let him give money to you, and you 
tell how much to pay for your rates.


       Song for saying good.



       Dear N.


       A copy of your letter in pererdana
Logros. In fact, a month - this is not a term
for complaint. Really can speak on optional firms
work with the client is not earlier than three months.
Non-compliance with its obligations may be
speak only six months later, not earlier.
So that's how trade arrangements on
mail. Me your money does not help
do it because I trade disc in the mail
again through the "Logros". As you know, the term can, in this 
case only increase. Another thing that I am, in St. Petersburg, 
keeping in the hands of your money, will defend Your 
requirements in relation to "Logros". While this in general is 
unimportant. The maximum that I can do, based on your values 
- it is a one-two "ring a chime in "Logros" on the phone - no 
more, ie, service is purely symbolic. In St. Petersburg, on the

Currently, 1 hour of my work is
Customer p. 15-20. (Ie, p 1500. / Month salary + 150% - 
overhead. I'm pretty seriously talking about the overhead. Here 
you write me a letter, book price list - and the brand are not 
attached. Who will pay? This overhead. Next, on your obabotku

letters left a total of 1 hour - this is
P 15-20. You pay for them? This overhead.
Can I have to say? I can not. You
resent the whole world and all written in
crooks. Ie You framed me for money. I obyazazn answer - and 
answer for Own expense.) In a residential area of the city 
garden is not very razvedesh, the city is constantly sucking 
money - so long teeth put on the shelf.


Nemo 25.05.99

P.S. In case you're eight months have not received anything - I 
am ready to assist to return the money - but I think it this 
will not happen. Please send the price list for completions

Scorpion-256 and software.

   Dear N!


   Despite the brevity, your letter
put me in a deadlock. Is the case,
when brevity was the soul of wit.


   What do you mean by modifications?
And as for him you can send the price list?
The apparent confusion in the words. So what
You really need? We make the alignment of concepts. Speaking 
academic language choose a meaningful definition (definition).



   Refinement of (I) - try the manufacturer to eliminate their 
production defect handed user, and by

user. Schemes are usually not given.
Montazhka given, on which the cross
denoted by pruning, and thick lines
- "Snot" wire marks MGTF. As a rule, simple and plain, as for 
the average user get lost in broad daylight (three postings) is 
easier as dirt. 


   Refinement (II) - an attempt of the manufacturer to bring 
down rival clones hands of these same owners of these clones.

Usually contains diagrams and detailed descriptions of how 
their own hands to destroy own computer. Full clings "wagon 
noodles" as to whether as it's cool, it is necessary for the 
user, etc. etc. 


   Refinement (III) - lamerskie recipes
"Improvement" of serial components.
Similarly, within the meaning of (II), provided the scheme, 
detailed descriptions, "noodles." Refinement in the sense of 
(III) are the most dangerous, because lamer, making recipes 
themselves, usually do not know what they do. Justifications 
usually far-fetched and poor. Revised (III) dangerous as those 
that involve "improvement" of "zero" companies, ie company 
which is fully consistent scheme manufacturer. When you try to 
make two or more completions comp starts fail, because 
improvements do not include the presence of each other, ie a 
one-curves. 


   In general, the finalization, in any sense, we can say the 
following: 


   1. "Handicraft" Revised impossible
support. The firm, which manufactures components,
in essence, trying to coordinate the process of supporting 
companies from the market. This implies the existence of a 
manufacturer of a certain strategy, conception and ideology in 
this regard. Revised (II-III), as a rule, mutually 
perpendicular to these efforts and strategii.Eto 
characteristic, because lamer do not know that they do. They 
are doing on the principle: "that food, then I sing. "And where 
they were going, why - these questions to them not on the 
shoulder - they are named on ... As a result, they come in 
afedron (afedron - Old Russian, the newspeak - Ass). If you 
have any problems with the user, arising as a result of 
"improvements", the manufacturer implicitly makes "Abortion" 
completions (by the user - his folly, he and pay - to 
understand a very expensive and not necessary. A fool may be a 
hundred clever work set). Scheme reduced to the standard.



   Root dope original meaning of "completion" is rooted in such 
figures Spectrum'a, as he Zonov.Eto inventor of this word and 
the corresponding nonsense in their heads users. The essence of 
foolishness is that which implies that the moral and outdated 
PC can support the technically-advanced level, periodically 
there tykayas soldering iron. In fact process inevitably leads 
to destruction com. Third revision - it is 50% probability of 
aerial companies in the trash along with all the twists. 
Improvements, in addition, reduces the most important 
characteristic com - reliability. All other technical 
characteristics of companies have meaning insofar as may be 
provided by appropriate and reliable. And just it's the lost.



   If you are familiar with all publication (s) Nemo, you can 
not find a single refinement. Only the expansion in terms of 
standard joints without the use of a soldering iron. Revised 
reduce the number of users. Typically, a user who disfigured 
his computer, no longer able to buy a new one - a big lump sum. 
And no money. He no longer buys programs, and iron. One user

LESS.


   Firm (s) Nemo offers users:

   a) expand (and not "modify")
components of the standard joints: Centronics,
Nemo-bus.

   b) for non-compliance characteristics
board tasks solved by the user,
change version to the board a more junior
version / date of manufacture.

   This is an alternative completions podhod.V
commercial terms, it is clearly stated :"... guaranteed 
connection (bezglyuchnoe!) at standard seams (no soldering 
!)..." "Any dopayki / soldering FREE MANUFACTURER OF ANY KIND,

Any obligations ... "more clearly because no
say. In this case, the old fee goes to another person - and one 
user gets bigger. 


   How can I send prys list to refine? How do I find out what 
you have already made you a stupid and it's time to pay me 
money? As tariff (ie to set prices) to your stupidity? 


   As for the extensions, then they Scorpion'e problematic. In 
any case, Soldering is required, because constructive lay-in 
expansion card Scorp'e No provision. Mean fee

expansion fasten somewhere on the side. A
this wire. A wire is a soldering iron.
Major success will be if you do not have to rearrange the 
complex. If you have to do it - then the probability of smoke 
when you turn on the premises - approximately 30%. After that, 
no shop will not help. System connector in Scorp'e fastened to 
podmanivaniya lamer. Actually use it is not possible. (That is, 
for its intended purpose - if so solder wire - then what 
rayanitsa - on CPU or socket?). Thus,

Scjrpion - Non-extendible machine. If
You thread the needle and extended, then it becomes
Non-Repair. In addition, circuitry Scorp'a not designed for 
extension ie may fail

I received your parcel. I've waited for it impatiently. I 
hasten to inform you that the drive IS-DOS'98 not read! 
Retrieved on 3 diskovodah.Ya do not know where ISKRA SOFT

picked up this floppy disk, but is it possible to record a 
valuable (the buyer) information on a horseradish drive. Quite 
another thing to your drive with Open letters. Just excellent 
drive. 


   Now, regarding your letter. I
very interested in IC 44256. I've been
trying to find the RAM organization is 4x?? K.


   I send you a brand for $ 25 p. (10
ue). Send ksorokopii documents
IC 44256.

P.S. Please send me a IS-DOS'98
in a normal drive.

   Dear N!


   Replace the drive - t.e.vysylaem new, old wanted to get 
back. To put this envelope with stamps. This need to know that

gone wrong with the disk. Probably it
prishlepnuli postmark. Maybe
our marriage, in general, need to find out.
As for drive, then was bought by a whole party - as they say, 
"Behold la vie" ... Kind of them beautiful, but what they 
actually - It turns out, when the sell it.



   IC 44256. These mikruhi to 1 Mbit of RAM is the most common 
and most cheap. They cover virtually all the tasks elektronnvh 
devices. Therefore, the volume of their release, compared with 
other types of organization of DRAM (RAM), the most

great. Hence, the lowest price. The disadvantage of these chips 
with respect to Spectrum'u is very complicated, "tying." This 
reduces reliability and increases the price of components. In 
Amig'e, for example, also used by the organization of 1 Mbit x 
1 bit (a not 256 kslov x 4 bits / word = 1 Mbps,

t.e.44256), ie 1 M words x 1 bit / word =
1 Mbps, 411 000. I also want to note that
it is better to buy a new computer, rather than kurochit old. 
So you can dokurochitsya to what is generally serviceable 
components will remain. 411,000 in the following price list 
will be marked: "Spare parts for KAY-1024 "and will be sold only

KAY'ev users. You ready to concede
44256 411000 for a price. I think that the soldering iron

   Hello, Nemo.


   I ask you to send a product catalog
You offer.


   In addition I have an intention to acquire fee computer KAY, 
in consequence which appeared a few questions, if not

difficult to answer please.


   1. Math. Boards KAY-256 (p.p.1.1.0.1 and
1.1.0.2) supplied with the controller drives?


   2. Does the set of music. CPU? AY-8910 I have is whether the 
problems with the installation? 


   3. In boards KAY-256 CPU is installed
Z80? If so, is there a limit on the
Turbo mode? .


   4. 3.5 "drive can I use
Floppy Disks 1.4 Mb (obviously not on the Spectrum)?


   And a couple of questions to which I
I hope you answer:


   5. Does your Samara distributors?


   6. Where can I find news about the Amiga computer? Buy 
magazines to find out prices, etc. You are not doing this?



   Thanks in advance. Regards N.


446050 31.05.99


   Dear N!


   1). Math. Boards KAY-256 (p.1.1.0.1 and
1.1.0.2) is not always available,
as they are not issued. Therefore,
possible delay in shipment. Best to book KAY-1024.Krome, in the 
next edition of the price list prices p.p.1.1.0.1. and 1.1.0.2 
will be 200 and 180 cu sootvetstvenno.Eto due to the fact that 
the boards KAY-256 crowd is in no hurry to trade. Therefore it 
is necessary to raise the price of buying (Exchange Version) 
and the price of old cards - respectively. All Boards 
KAY-Series come with a floppy drive controller (with VG93 
installed). All Boards KAY-series comes with the CPU, ROM.



   2). AY paid separately (not supplied).


   3). KAY-256/2SL has no turbo.
In the price typo - thanks for letting. Processor Z840004 (4 
MHz) (or domestic). 


   4). Delivered drives (both 5.25 "
and 3.5 ") by force, the hardware installed in the regime of 
720 kb by hardware modifications.



   In the 720 kb drives usually do not work with drives, the 
calculated at 1.44 MB (DS / HD), only DS/2D - double

density.


   5). In Samara, the distributors do not. If
is willing, I will not mind.


   6). The Amiga computer firm (s) Nemo
not engaged.

   Hello, the firm LOGROS!


    You are the second firm to whom I refer
about the purchase.


   The fact that we have no place in the city
purchase program for the ZX. It seems that
All sinkleristy in the city died.

   Before that, I contacted the company Scorpion,
but there are prices! First, buying software from
them, and then told me that you like
prices lower.


   So, I have to you a few questions:


   1. Whether you are sending the mail? If
no, who will send (except Scorpion)?


   2. How to get your listings? Buy or send for free?


   3. Form of payment and order processing.


   4. What else besides you distribute the software?


   That's all the questions for now. I
Scorpion ZS256 Turbo (1994). Present
it is mainly the fact that I draw, sometimes
I write music.

   Dear N!


   Sorry if wrong with the middle name - you
it is not indicated. While e-mail
requirements (unless, of course, not PO Box)
recommends that you specify.


   1. You are mistaken if you think that
sinkleristy extinct. Extinct traders
The merchants in your city software. Probably
reason for this was the very unfortunate
financial status of users
ZX-Spectrum, - and they could not "feed" a trader in your city. 
Another cause is decay of "clever"

(With large overheads) Star strkutur - such as "Inforkoma and
"Scorpion". Because users have been associated with 
Spectrum-platform only through them, they were isolated. And 
often unaware of the existence of each

other. Will continue to be a science. Members
still believe that more money
the firm, so it is stable. It's not quite true, and often not 
the case. With regard to prices - to judge you (see price 
list). 


   2. Software sent by post. But better
order from firms that specialize in
this (see price list, there is the address).
Firm (s) Nemo buys order a CD
(PO) in Logros'e. As you know, it's not
the best effect on the timing.


   3. Catalog (minimum package of advertising)
sent free of charge. If you want to get the full package of 
advertising, you need to invest in the letter grades by 5 p. 
(Small marks, merit no more than 1p.). Since you anything about 
this do not know, Sent to you - for the first time the complete

package of advertising (with diskette). You really pay a 
Logros, our address, mark [(c) Nemo / for "Logros"] - no.



   4. Form of payment: See price list - there
same with the order.


   5. See price list.

   Dear N!


   At this time, you have surpassed yourself. In
Your last letter was invested at least
tiny (21 sq. cm), but understandably demand the price-list - I 
quote verbatim: "Price List". (Received / sent

12.05.1998 / 05.15.1998).


   I wonder why you are now sent a model form of subscription / 
haul Card (Form F.SP-1., Reg. Type. Kostroma) for subscription 
of the newspaper / magazine? Moreover and unfilled?



   If it concerns p.p.3.1. Price List
(Subscription to "ZX-F"), it is irrelevant to "Soyuzpechat" no. 
Y "ZX-F" No registration number in the directory

"Soyuzpechat. This is not a semi-official publication
and an electronic journal (samizdat) for
Sinclair'istov. Brand invested properly;
- But what is a blank subscription? Joke wilt.

       Hello, the firm "Nemo"!


   You wrote N. I'm a user of your computer's remarkable 
"KAY-256" fee v 1.2. Bad, that this board is not turbo-mode, 
and I decided to seek your help, I ask that you send the schema 
refinement KAY'ya to turbo-mode. And also would like to order a 
new PRICE LIST of your company.



   And here's another that simply KAY
refuse to work demos (especially with
Fun Top'a "Refresh"), what's the matter, I
I do not know if you can, help limiting
Board. And also would like to ask a question
following type: Can Your controller
screw connected to another type of Spectrum-compatible computer 
(for example, "ATM-Turbo")?



   Well, this probably all!

   Waiting for the scheme and the turbo-KAY'ya Prices!

   Regards N.

   Dear N!


   Boards v1.2 released in 94-96 years.
Then the turbo-mode has not yet been sufficiently
technologically and structurally well-developed, so it can be 
applied in mass production. Therefore, modifications

board will most likely to glyuchnosti
com. In addition, the firm (s) Nemo will not send schema 
modifications on the principal reasons. If you are not 
satisfied with the performance of existing boards, it is 
necessary buy a new card. To do this, sell the old card and 
order a new one. This can be regarded as an exchange for a fee.

You will hardly be able to transfer money from
SP-B (to send a letter dollars are not recommended: the letters 
reveal, including and custom). Therefore, it remains a 
surprise, ie, people, for whatever reason traveled to St. 
Petersburg and grafted to comply with your request to purchase 
company or dealer. In Belarus, I do not have dealers. But there 
are people who regularly passing train on the route of SP-B - 
Brest. For reservation fee you need to contact

him on the phone and agree on the place and
date of the meeting to order and charge your computer
KAY-1024. Arrange for an extra charge, any
Work costs money, including tons of it (for
shipping companies). The SP-B will give a fee
upon request. The money will pay
upon receipt. At the moment in Russia
$ 1 = 24.5 p. (03/06/1999). Prices listed in
price list can first counted in
$ $, Then the "bunnies". The same way
You can order any products
price list. Sozvanivayas the dealer dictate, just in case, the 
phone company (C) Nemo, - it is listed in the pricelist. This

person works on a one-off assignments, and
phone on hand may not be.


   Now for the demo. Demos - a non-commercial software product. 
And create its amateurs. The compatibility problem before

they are not worth it - they write under their own
Comp. Moreover, they do not even suspect, because of their lack 
of professionalism on the existence of such problems. More

that does not exist, even theoretically,
improvements that would lead to full
Compatibility: PC, then demo-makers are all different (and many 
with home-grown modifications). Jobs demos require absolute 
identity of the components, including and circuit, which is 
unrealistic. In essence, the demo program can be rammatrivat as 
a very hard test program compatibility with the resident 
(computer, which created a demo). KAY-256

v1.2, ac stated in the specifications, has a 95% software 
compatibility. Except In addition, this option is valid for 
commercial software, not for Demos. Therefore, it is a problem 
demomeykerov, and not the manufacturer of computers - and

Your respectively, because they are her
create for you. For a full demo of compatibility must begin to 
produce moral ustarkvshie composite mark "Pentagon-128", (which 
are also low-tech - and therefore expensive to manufacture, ie 
production will Pentagon'ov more than KAY-1024). On the memory 
above 128 K, turbo mode, the bus (and all extensions of the 
bus) have to forget. 


   IDE-DRIVE, the controller HDD (screw) it is theoretically 
possible to connect to any Spectrum-clone, but in practice it 
is problematic. Explain why: 


   1. Hardware and software IDE-DRIVE has not been tested on 
other computers. Therefore, absent not only recommendations for 
connection, but also about the reliability and compatibility 
Software. Possible to issue guarantees for IDE-DRIVE only in 
the sense that the device is efficient in the composition of 
KAY'em. As you can imagine, to ensure that you properly connect 
the controller, it is impossible. Just as it is impossible to 
guarantee that You can adapt the software, such bude

problem arises. However, there
information on successful connections devaysa
to Scorp'u. As it was sdelvno - is unknown, it usually do not 
report. Ie You can buy a controller your own risk. Maybe it 
will be work.



   2. Application OS'i - and screw without OS'i
work can not fully - requires
high-reliability equipment. To OS'yu
it was possible to fully use it, requires at least daily 
bezglyuchnoy companies. Such reliability company, manufactured 
in the early 90's, usually not observed. And from what you 
climb to the computer with a soldering iron, reliability does 
not grow. If the complex will fail more often than once a day,

sooner or later you will lose information on
screw. If this occurs once a year, then
this can somehow be reconciled: spend
one or two days to recover sodeozhimogo screw with backup 
(floppy disk) once per year. If the PC will fail every half 
hour, then half the time will conduct the restoration work. As 
you can see, the problem is somewhat broader than the way 
podpaivaniya wires. 


   Scheme for turbo-KAY'ya not send you, because at
all resemblance boards need to alter very much. There are 
plenty of nuances, explained that more than

send a new comp. Most likely a result of alterations you get 
buggy computer with wires, nodding to the floor.

You need this?
