   Hello!


   1. Please send a catalog.


   2. Is there an option when ordering payment to deduct the 
cost of existing components? 

   For example: on 1.09.98 KAY-1024 - 250 (with
controller, AY, DB-15, CPU), as well as
all I've got (KAY-256), then I would be cheaper. Please 
indicate the cost of fees in this case. 


   3.IS-DOS. (Need a spreadsheet,
as otherwise accounted for CP / M or MS-DOS

    Dear N!


   When ordering, payment can deduct the cost of existing 
components. Of course, users only

(Owners) KAY-series. And the subject of the application letter 
(as you did). Ie "Default" such things are not practiced.


   So:

   1) Controller "B-Turbo" suit will work. There's subtlety: to 
delete key on the connector system bus with hand limit switch 
drive. This can be Needle file or do kusachkami.Takzhe should 
make sure that the "right", the remainder of the key provides a 
connection all the slats to the controller. "Zero"

incursion due to a shift inch meter should
be a slat 15A / B (ie in the middle connector). This must be 
done because KAY-1024 is equipped with proprietary bus-

connectors (inch). In the old parties
plateau in-Turbo "Tolerance is not observed
strictly, since machine with national assembly with a step of 
2.5 mm. C Prices can throw 100 rubles. (Absolute price for 
06/23/1999 - here and below). 

   2) AY 8910 included in the delivery
only 2-3 months after August 17,
for sales support, as well, and mate (male) DB-15P. Now (and 
already half a year in the price of these positions are not 
included) are not sent in kit, and with prices to shoot nothing.


   3) SRU. You need to ensure that
Your processor type Z84C0010PEC. If this
so you can throw 70 p. If the processor is different, then it 
is not recommended. It is likely that the processor will run 
awry. This lottery. Where he showed the curvature (if it is 
manifested) is unknown. This may be a fever, the supply voltage 
(critical of value), the expansion bus.


   Ie Total price fee: 250
ue * 2.6 = 650 p. 650 p. .- (100 +70) = 480 p. (In
Kvitka transfer tag: "no disc counter. and CPU").


   According to IS-DOS. Maybe someone and write a spreadsheet. 
(As I understand it, it comes to spreadsheets). I hope that it 
will be written. In IS-DOS'e a calculator, though, of course, 
it is not spreadsheets. You can also try to start work in the 
VU-calc (under TR-DOS), using it as an image file TR-DOS 
("blanks") - but this is effectively only by a screw. In 
addition, there is no guarantee that a 48-s miracle correctly

planted in TR-DOS. If there is a turbo-loader, or even any 
"frills" that will not work. Also log on to

RESET'u (and differently from TR-DOS'a the system does not
return) is not always correct.
Again, through no fault of IS-DOS'a and apparatus KAY'a.

   P.S. Generally it is better that you sell
the old machine. If you razukomplektuete it, then do it would 
be impossible. There another alternative. Please send payment 
back (but only in the case If she is not improved) plus a 
translation of 300 p. (If it's V1.4; if more early, then expel 
it makes no sense ...) 450022



   Hello, Nemo!


   I beg your pardon, I write to your home address (your PO is 
not found in this moment).

    Please send directory:

   Dear Nemo!


   I recently (20/05/1999) was ordered from you 
KAY-256/3SL/TURBO, and that's what found after several days of

Test: Does not work on the management
keyboard, some copiers. After starting the program XLC v3.5 
(XL-COPIER) I was surprised that the "tester" of the copyist 
finds General Sound, when it a trace no. General Sound I checked

work. After downloading the IS-DOS, I would like
test the "dope", but as it turned out, unsuccessfully, the 
computer "hangs" and treatment to the controller "dope" (your

production) did not occur. After
how the bus pulled out of the controller, I decided to test the 
driver itself, computer also "hung", changed the processor

Z84C0010PEC on Z80B, driver earned
but again, only without the controller in the bus with the 
controller all the "hang". The controller checked to GRM2 + 
(almost PENTAGON) - everything works. After that I climbed into 
the BASIC and began to check the ports. And it turned out here

what: daily activities ports read some numbers, though be read, 
of course, a single value. What kind of nonsense so I I do not 
know, and how to fight it vobschem something too. Of the ports 
from 1 to 255 read with sequence numbers 64, 95, 64 and so on, 
and sometimes skips 94 (this number depends on keystrokes and 
replaces 95, and 64 consistently). Thus of all odd ports reads 
64. 

   Can help me some your advice or your computer is to exchange?

                27.06.99
    Dear N!


   The answer is in order:

   1. "... Does not work control of the keyboard for some 
copiers. 

   In fact, testing not need equipment, and the oil level in 
the minds of those "Programmers" who wrote these programs.

I understand that you do not have their addresses, and
These characters have no names. Much easier to bring a claim 
component manufacturer (Especially since you paid for delivery)

than something to demand from programs (or their
authors), which make and receive on
Freebie. Ie unprofessional. For free
as vinegar is sweet.

   Now the technical side of the issue.
Need to poll the keyboard using a mask, ie mask the unused 
bits. To me those bits, presumably, will be useful in the 
future. Therefore, in the senior ranks keyboard port "zeros" 
and not "identity" as it used to detect the amateurish program. 
To develop the equipment, we have to fight

with doltishness and the curvature of the programs
(Or authors). By the way, really, there are programs (although 
they are much less), which require a higher category of "zero" 
instead of "units", as is customary. Admittedly, this strongly: 
CONVENTIONAL stupidity. Some believe that conventional things, 
and there are standards. In fact, this is not true, because 
stupidity standard can not be. Stupidity can

be the conventional, standard, common, but it can not be 
standardized. Standard stupidity - is institutionalized idiocy. 
The sad fate of the system, where a standard means rashozhest 
and accepted. Sad fate Developer component that has to do 
curves component, due to the fact that stupidity has become the 
standard. In the keyboard port 8-bit, and they all can and 
should be information. Otherwise, Sarah, and not a computer.


   2. "... Finds the GS, when it is, however, did not."

   Presumably, XLC v3.5 "finds
GS "on an odd port class A0 = 1 (class icon). Since the bus did 
not, Blocking IORQ / IORQGE missing, and

Port diagnostics are all odd addresses. In the discharge D6 
should not be unit, and 0. This may occur for

two reasons.

   a) The previous owner had "perfected" Comp. And simply put, 
cut (Bit off a pair of pliers) leg number 10 in KP11 (D37

scheme). As a result, you fucked the whole
range of wonderful bugs. Must
check whether the 10-foot I on the ground.

   b) The matter in the scheme of arbitration IORQ / IORQGE.
In KAY-256 (all models) it is made
resistors. Then the bus just started
implemented, peripherals was
only two: XT-KLAVA and MOUSE. Both worked on the scheme. The 
first problem was due to the IDE-DRIVE. B KAY-1024, this 
problem solved - arbitration is made on LL1 quick scheme. If 
you want to IDE-DRIVE worked KAY-256 sometimes (that is, not 
always!) should be disable the arbitration scheme. To convert

attached map.


   3. ... "Screw ...

   And why "screw" in quotes? May
be still my development and YOUR
manufacturing? Firm (s) Nemo screw (and controller) you do not 
prodavavla. Do not exclude that you bought a screw controller 
ISDOS (They sold them in 1996-1997.), But

if you have an older DRIVERS AND OLD ISDOS. Even if all this is 
still workable, it is not known, can Did you install the screw. 
And not all Screws suit ...



   4 ."... read though should, of course, one meaning. "

   Not necessarily. Beat Tape
can be located at 0 and 1. A
a + / - 64 at the port of the keyboard. When you press a 
keyboard port can return either 31 or 95 (as it

there you have). Bits D5 and D7 set to "0". As for the joystick 
ports, you should read the "0", namely therefore necessary to 
check the leg 10 in D37 (love her bite), or to alter the 
arbitration (see paragraph 2a), b)). 


   5 ."... how to fight it ... "

   Fight with a computer should not be. On
computer to work. It
"ON" and "C" and "over". When selling a computer means it is 
"ON" and not "C" and "over". In addition, you have ordered used

registration fee 95-97 years. for half price. Ie presumably, 
she is already the year three. Can not demand from the old 
computer kachastva new. In the price list for these positions 
are provided for those unfortunates who have no money to buy a 
new fee. But who wants to have a computer and

work "for" him, even if he
have minor defects. Completely
to test the old computer is almost impossible. It is very 
expensive. "... A few days testing it ..."

excluded - t.k.posle such an operation, he
will be golden.

    Welcome, Captain Nemo!


   Wrote to you (for the second time!) N, with a view
scrounge price list for your product (I
out, even self-addressed envelope
put!) And if you stray directory
soft'a from LOGROS (so I thought
You have to cooperate with him), then it safely
send anything Order Now!


   However, if you are too expensive to send
price lists, write at least on paper,
how much you MOUSE complete with
controller board and software for it.


    Also, please note that I am writing to you
For the second time, the third will not be! So
that if you value our reputation,
please reply as soon as possible! (The absurdity of some kind 
is obtained: where else but Russia You can find a seller who 
has persuaded to sell their goods on its the same price?)



   With BEST wishes.

   Dear N!


   1. Catalog LOGROS attached. New
the liner is still, unfortunately, no.


   2. Controller MOUSE / KEMPSTON firm
(C) Creat Soft discontinued. Planned fall release device MKEY.
Introduction of these devices will be engaged in
firm (c) CPG COMPEX. The device will be
include: the controller XT / AT-Keyboard, MOUSE-interface 
(under the passive / active mouse) and universal Interface 
standard RS232 (C2). Prepayment is currently 250 rubles. (Only 
on 07.01.1999!). If you run into production does not succeed, 
do not refund money later than 01.01.2000, as amended by the 
coefficient of the price list. 


   3. As for your last letter. Per se did not. (Questions were 
raised of paper per year). Most likely, you

incorrectly entered the address (such as zip code) or does it 
not written (believe me, this also happens not only with you). 
If the envelope had no return address and then you do not even 
know that letter did not reach. In principle, the letter could

lost and the firm (s) Nemo, but this is unlikely.

   Hello to all company employees "Nemo!

   I ask you to send me a price list for
Your component KAY. I was very interested in it, I want to 
continue to purchase it, so while I need a directory

(Price list).


   Thanks in advance. With all due respect to you,

N.


   P.S. I just came from the army and is nothing new about KAY 
do not know, may be already have a new model later KAY-1024 
NEMO BUS TURBO??? 



01.07.99

   Dear N!


   New version KAY-1024 has not yet released
and in the near future is foreseen. The main reason for this is 
that inherent in KAY-1024 features users has almost mastered. 
Pointless to "pump up" on hardware specifications. The question 
is quite common, so see "open letters ".

    Hi, the firm "Nemo"!


   I have ordered you a fee KAY-256/2SL
120 USD (Correction factor
2.5). Money sent more 04/26/1999 and fees
all no. Has been a long time. So I cancel the order (but if the 
board at you there, then send it). Money (300 rub.) sends me 
at: 617 740 ..... And at the same address send your own 
directory and write what card you have on sale now.

    Dear N!


   Find out your name, it was possible only by lifting the 
paper from April this year - and namely an order for STA on 
24/04/1999. Neither postal order, or in both letters or

name or middle initial. Only initials and then
not everywhere, and if they have, then half. Well, as to send 
you money? Must in fact specify the full name, first name and 
Middle name (full name). Post Office You must somehow 
otzhdestvit to give money. Money has been sent to Michael 
(initial "M"), then there was a "bounce" - ie, reported that he 
came to Marat, and money was not given. Had once again, in

SP-B, specify the name and patronymic. For it is written in the 
same price list: "Carefully select return address. "name - it's 
part of the address. 


   Now, on the plateau KAY V1.0-1.4 (ie
Used, removed from production until 1998).
Those at the moment, and it seems
not expected. And repurchased before
they come to me. Therefore taken
measures to balance supply / demand.
Namely, the price of used board (as in buying and on offer) 
will be raised. Boards same KAY-1024 (V1.5) available at

the moment and there is almost always.

P.S. STA Order - 24/04/1999

     Money Order - 05/05/1999

     cancellations (letter) - 06/15/1999
