Nemo open letters № 3.3

           Hello, Nemo!


   I have received the last packet and
letter, but I write with a delay. Waited
disk drive controller card will be tested in
action. Now I can say with confidence that the hardware that 
you have sent, connected and is in working condition. 
Unfortunately, I could not popolzovavshis computer, since it 
immediately sold together with a controller that a

the time has not come yet. Between the advent of the computer 
controller and a person who buys it all, and bought the hard 
drive capacity of 80 MB. Fortunately, he was

mark "Conner", respectively earned
without problems. Now we have people
who will be able to configure to work with KAY
hard drive.

   Offering people buy from you
KAY-1024, I was faced with the fact that hard
persuade people to buy a computer for
mail, people have either not believe in anything, even
despite the fact that I give a guarantee. Not
Best played a role in this difference in 2
months between the arrival of the computer controller and HDD. 
I somehow did not explain necessary, but here's another ... It 
would be much easier, if in my possession was one set on your 
computer. Unfortunately, this can not speak, as I currently do 
not have free money. By the way, the guy who bought your car, 
very pleased with it and asked me to thank you for the good

computer. Now he saves money on General Sound, also wants to 
buy it from You.


   How soon do you plan to start producing
Controller PC keyboard? Today in the periphery of the Spectrum, 
there are 2 bottlenecks: the keyboard and monitor. In the first 
case help the controller PC keyboard, the second - coder PAL. 
You seem to be working on both directions? Of course, you now

offers a standard Spectrum
keyboard, but, firstly, the number of
limited, and secondly, the controller is easier to send, well 
in the third, PC-shnaya "clave", for some it may be preferable. 
Another good idea would be to have on KAY'e 
Kempston-mouse-based PC and shnoy hours, and the whole thing 
placed on the controller keyboard. It is clear that this say 
no, do not care none will not, but one can dream.


   Received recently a letter from a serviceman from Sakhalin. 
Writes that my address you gave him. He asked several questions 
on Spectrum, I am happy to answer them.


    And yet. With regard to sent me
text. I formatted it to 64 characters
in a row, I have all the texts in ISDOS'e formatted so as I 
have in mind sits the driver, called in the viewer by pressing 
"1". Text in this format is more convenient to drive between PC 
and Spectrum and printed on

the printer as 64 characters per line
closer to 80 than 40. I just thought
formatted differently and worked purely
automatically. The next time your uchtu
wish.

   I hope that my order was not the only one, and soon he'll 
order a You still a computer or sent to you with someone.


                                       N.


   Technical Note: The address can be
found autosearch with the "690078"


                               09.03.2000

              Dear N!


   1. "Conner" - a fairly common brand of hard drive in the 
trash they approximately 30%.


   2. This is indeed so - the trust is exhausted. Sold out 
entirely new rich and without a trace. Now even those who want 
to something to do, and may not be able to

do. Concerning the timing of deliveries, the
I have repeatedly wrote about it. Speech by
essentially comes to price. Working on a prepaid basis, and 
including money in circulation, I can keep prices at 30 - 50% 
lower than if I worked entirely on their working

Drugs. In order to raise the price
necessary, in my opinion, to increase
custom content company. Outstripping investment in advertising 
I think harmful and dangerous. Meanwhile, working with

dealers, I give merchandise credit.
In essence, much of the price
com - is support. Given that I
have to do this from Peter - also
often ineffective. It is therefore possible
provide payment in advance. On conditions
a separate conversation.

   3. On the controller PC keyboard - the question is "CPG 
Compex". Address: see price list. While in conversation with 
Willow (CPG Compex) is not clear when it will be

if at all. I understand that the money
project has not yet invested, ie, it is under investigation. I 
agree with you regarding the membrane keyboards. But unlike

from the controller they already have and already done. In 
addition, not every user and not to any computer can connect 
the controller. With the same membrane keyboards are much 
simpler - this should not be Explains how and what to do. Ie it

associated with support for the existing fleet
machines.

   4. Hours are worthwhile, in my opinion, the
controller IDE. Clock without OS'i - this "fifth wheel" in a 
cart, a fetish. And the problem not in hours, and in promoting 
OS'i. 

   5. Likely to be converted, and anyone
else - the address with your permission, published in the "Open 
letters". 

   6. At the printer can print columns both in the newspaper or 
magazine. Standard 80 characters per line - is an office 
standard, the standard of record keeping - it's just a 
stereotype perception of the text. He may be without prejudice 
to other ease of use.


   7. Your order is not the only one.
Another thing is that the book is still not enough.

                                (C) Nemo.

              Hello!


   Please send the price list provided by your products. Also, 
if you can, then send the address "Logros" editorial 
"ZX-Format". And yet, if you have information about the Amiga 
computer, and where this You can buy a computer, then send it.


   A bit of history. In 1996 I bought
Scorpion-Turbo +, but 4 years to meet only
with one firm seemed to me a little, and here
I decided to write to your company.

   I look forward to further cooperation.

                                       N.


              Dear N!


   1. "Logros" no longer works for
Spectrum-market. Due to the development of networks
theft has gained another victory, and one of the last points on 
the trading software closed. I think the public will continue to

persist in the accession of freebies, trying to
destroy the Spectrum. Such is the nature of the lamer.

   2. Editorial Board ZX-F, as a rule,
does not respond to emails that do not contain
constructive proposals - in contrast
from the firm Nemo, - because it costs money -
and for the software do not pay in full, in
Unlike hard'a. Address as I can give:

                          198328, POBox 87.


   3. Computers other platforms, rather than
Spectrum, are not supported, and their users are not served, 
because No ways to get money from them. The same applies to 
computers of various brands who have no platform at all.


   4. I agree that communication with one firm to the good, not 
usually communicate. To have their own, independent point of 
view, it is necessary to obtain information on a variety of 
channels. Comparing it You can draw the right conclusions. Point

of a particular firm (any) always
one-sided and biased. The only bad thing that
come to this, in general, a simple thought,
- It took 4 years.

                                (C) Nemo.

                 Hello!


   With you again after a long break
Dimon/OHG/P2S. So decided to write to you.
I would like to know how you do business there,
and yes even your price list would like to order,
because I've got your price list, but he
old, the price you have changed accordingly, and to me you have 
something you want to order. By the way, what about the Black 
Crow?? Something Copper slows. By the way, can see a demo 
version of the game Jackobs (Like the so called) - a serious 
competitor to crow. So as not to Brazen ahead. How are things 
with IS-DOS'om - he seems quite die :((((. way that you think 
the account NeOS'a, - but we have plenty of it please, here I 
am thinking. By the way, recently saw the 128-th firm Spectrum 
- that's RULEZZZ. Like how to write nothing more. Well, all 
saying goodbye. I await your reply. 

                       Dimon/OHG/P2S.2000

              Hello!


   N wrote to you from Khabarovsk (far). But you will not be 
surprised, because and here You know all sinkleristy. To begin 
with, I have a Speck called the "Bean" and TTX

it as follows: 256 KB RAM standard PROS
+ YMAHA sound processor + BI 93 + 2 FDD
5.25 "+ color monitor - quite poor
combination to date.

   1. Okay, move on to a particular case.
I would like to get a detailed price list
Your "products".

   2. Now really want to buy GS, but
I do not know is plugged in I did to my computer with
not very large soldering skills? Yes
what now stands GS, how many now
under her progressive and game remade and done?


   Next question. Now think of
so, what specs afford: KAY-1024 +
35L Turbo + etc or Sprinter. Here's how
You think, whose car perspective -
Yourself or them? On those. characteristics of the course 
Sprinter stepped far forward, but it's too expensive! Tell us 
what your comp good, and what prospects you see now is to 
improve our beloved Speck.


   Next question. If I buy your
Math. fee and include it in your computer, it will be difficult 
to solder it to the keyboard and need to Does the board to 
solder the controller and the Muses. coprocessor, or it already 
has everything on board? 

   Yes write about all your new developments, and may already 
be preparing a new model?


   Okay, I'll call it a day.

   In the end I want to thank you for
what you have and hopefully will for a long time
delight and amaze us with their developments. Good luck, 
success, health and well-being.


                                       N.


                               21.03.2000

   Dear N!

   1. We assume that the quotes in the word
Products I have not noticed. As they say,
passed.

   2. About connecting "GS". Unfortunately, the issues 
connected devices - is entirely a problem user (if the machine 
does not tire Nemo-bus). Help here anything even if your 
burning desire (Backed by cash in advance) is impossible. For 
example, that there Spectrum-brand clone "Bean", found only

from you. Usually in such cases made
send the manufacturer a clone - but in your case, I think it's 
the same thing to send, you know where. Meanwhile

You can connect - but entirely in your hands. By price - see 
price list. The list of programs in advertising package (for 
"GS"). 

   3. About the brand of your future
Speccy did not think - you think. If you make a mistake, have 
to buy another computer one more time. Acquainted with

issues related to KAY-1024 Spectrum'om generally recommend in 
"Op. let." That As for improvement, then presumably be improved

structure supporting the machine, and a culture of its 
application (yuzaniya). When running away ahead of the engine, 
then it is important. Well, in hardware plan - work with the 
periphery, and to be precise - the programmer (he has already 
announced a price list and will be made). 

   4. When connecting to unsolder
DV15R limit switch on the hose from the keyboard.
Controllers, if they are performed in the standard Nemo-bus, 
fluster not need them you simply want to install the connector.

Mus. processor is installed on the panel
in the board (see advertising package), but not supplied. If 
not, then must be ordered (extra cost) separately.


   5. While talking about the new model is not -
Need to master the available technical
data / backlogs, as well as teach
users to use them.

   6. Thank you for your good wishes.

                                (C) Nemo.

              Hello!


   № February, I sent you 36 rubles postal order to the 
ZX-Format № 9, and here I am writing this letter. Already on 
March 15, as well as to this time have received nothing. I know

that one month - it is not so great
period, but previous orders came
faster. And please, please, as there
the case with the Black Raven № 2. And one more thing:
You can send your reply to an envelope or
must send stamps for 5 rub.
(Stamps attached).

                          Goodbye. N.


                               21.03.2000


              Dear N!


   1. It is not entirely clear why you ask a question of timing 
distribution "ZX-F № 9" which, generally speaking, has not yet 
emerged. In addition:


   1.1. In a letter to you on 23.12.1999 was sent to disk "Op. 
Let.", Where the letters users, this issue was discussed 
repeatedly. 

   1.2. The catalog (pp 3.1) is not released, ie The next, 
upcoming number of passes through subscription. It can be

sent, as you know, not before
magazine to be published. In the meantime, ZX-F № 9 does not
left.

   1.3. On the timing of exit ZX-F №
9. They are, unfortunately, quite uncertain. Nevertheless, some 
work on training room is, and I'm pretty sure that sooner or 
later he will in the light.


   1.4. Maybe you will not accept the term
which is hidden behind the phrase "early
or later "- then you can use one of the methods offered
removal order (again, see "Op. let.").

   2. According to "FT-2, the situation is even more uncertain 
than the ZX-F № 9 (again, see "Op. Let."). However, I think 
that of FT-2 also will be released, although perhaps with 
serious delay. As in the case of ZX-F № 9, the output of FT-2 
is delayed by organizational reasons. With

For my part I made it clear and Glory Mednonogovu and editor of 
ZX-F № 9, which is ready have any (reasonable sense) support 
for the early appearance of these products. Organizational 
problems - is a very delicate thing, so that in any

If, how and what - to solve them. In fact,
Firm (s) Nemo, a postal operator
is in an ambiguous situation. I explain what was going on. I 
can not say that I returning the money, because it will be seen 
as a failure of both projects. This is the one side. On the 
other hand, I really believe that these products come out. And, 
Finally, a third party, ie from the user - I understand 
perfectly well that the two-year delay is beyond any reasonable 
scope. That is why those who, for whatever reason finds it 
impossible to wait, and suggested options for withdrawing your 
order. 

   3. It is better to send stamps. Explain
why:

   3.1. Sending an envelope with postage stamps worth 1 p. 75 
K. You can only count on getting a price list firm (s) Nemo, 
WITHOUT ADVERTISING PACKAGE NO REPLY TO THE LETTER.


   3.2. Sending stamps on 7 rub. (Now 7
p. because amount of stamps is not indexed
rate since late 1998, except
of 1.20 in 2000 postage rates
Go up 40%), you will receive ADVERTISING
PACKAGE, ie A total of 5 sheets
11-second format on the Spectrum-topic (1 sheet against 11 p. 
Pricelist Company (c) Nemo). So far as this sum includes

meaningful response to the letter.

   3.3. Payment of 15 rubles. mark, you in addition to Section 
3.2 of this letter will get more and floppy "Op. let." all 
received by the company (c) Nemo issues users. This, in my 
opinion, very useful information. Especially if

note that:

   - Users pay for their questions,
and therefore it is meaningful information,
and not leisurely General Discussion.

   - Publishes all the letters, without censorship
(See file about.txt in "Op. Let.").

   3.4. Around the summer of 2000 will take place the following 
changes: 

   - Prices 5 rubles. cease to act because correspondence will 
be handled in Section 3.1 of this letter; 

   - A substantive response to the letter (B
IF THIS IS NOT THE FIRST LETTER OF A NEW USER / Reporter), will
be made only upon payment of 15 p. brands
(Ie, section 3.3 of this letter).

                                (C) Nemo.

              Hello!


   Hello from Cheboksary!

   As a longtime fan of the computer
Spectrum, would very much like to know what's new on this 
platform. 

   Randomly from a friend I have your address. Here
and decided to write to you.

   I am interested in system software
graphic direction, supporting
work with the SM6337.

   System software creative plan
- Design, modeling, design and
etc.

   Music editors and programs that handle music, not 
interesting. 

   IS-DOS or other operating systems
(Heard that there is - Pinkfloyd,
in my opinion) is not less interesting. Previously, all
CDs I ordered in the firm "slot" in Moscow, but the firm has 
stopped working, and therefore decided to contact you.


   Of iron that is? Modem? All sorts of gadgets to your 
computer. In general, if you send me the price list will be 
inordinately grateful. 

   I have a PC "Delta-C 128", AU-8912,
Printer SM6337.

   Write to me and / I'll wait.

      Thanks in advance. Goodbye. N.


              Dear N!


   On this platform, nothing new -
as not to observe the copyrights and
is not observed. Traders who sell software, ruined, and users 
buy modems - and traders go broke even faster - as users buy 
more modems. Technical progress is evident.


   Materials on the iS-DOS'u see in advertising
package.

   Question you asked was repeatedly asked by other users - see
"Open letters".

                                (C) Nemo.
