            Hello, Nemo!


   From your letter dated 05/06/2000, I realized
that you want to try to help me in
situation with LOGROS'om. Inform
You information about my order. In due time
along with your Price and catalog LOGROS'a (I ordered it from 
you) I got original price list - very small, half a standard A4 
sheet, with indicating the origin of Mr. Akimov. Based on this 
price list and catalog, I placed the order, the 23/08/1999 On 
the same day sent Akimov money. Just in case I enclose a 
receipt for a money order. The amount of order 97.5 rubles. 
Composition of ordering: - Cleaning disc 5.25 "- $ 15 (at the 
time $ 1 = 25 rubles.) - 37,5 p. - System drive number 34

"RADIO DATA" (diode 'transist.)

   and № 92 "ANALOG" - 15r .* 2 = 30R. - Game
Disk Operation PP (can be replaced by
"HLO-1" or "HLO-2") - 20p. -Forward -
10p. Total 97.5 rubles.

   I hope you get something to address this issue.

   Now his new order. I order you have a floppy "Isot. - 2 
pack. 20 ue * 3.7 = 74r. - Marks on the 15r. "Open

letters "- I have an" OL "with the letters
01-78 and 097-151 - would like to fill
this gap. - ISDOS discs:

        8. Business calendar - 18r.

        9. CNET - 25 p. and how
addition of 50%

        23. SHOW - 9p.

        24. MUSIC - 9p.

        26. ISDOS FORT - 9p.

        29. COLOR LINES - 9p. Total
79r .* 1.1 = 86.9r.

   I think I am entitled also to a 33% discount. True, I 
ordered directly from Mr. Leontiev (order was made 22.03.2000 - 
not yet passed 3 months - The amount of 166r. - 10% = 150r.)


   Hence, we obtain:
74r. + (86.9r.-33%) = 133r.

   My former address. I did a translation
22.05.2000, the

   Regards, N.


   P.S. Completely forgot that when ordering Mr.
Akimov, thinking that you work together,
I made a reservation at
Chic-ZS. But because of you I learned that
Mr. Ivan away from Spectrum'a, then information about this 
order did not reach those to whom it is addressed. Therefore, 
the re-make this reservation on the Chic-ZS (Maybe it's too 
late?) 

   All the best, N.


                               05.06.2000

              Dear N!


   1. By order of "Logros", - if the case
burn out, get ordered by mail.
If you can not, then: upon verification of receipt with you 
money LOGROS'om (Confirmation, of course, in Akimov, y

He has a database of customers - such as
have not yet destroyed) can provide
compensation in the form of a 10% discount on the price of
catalog (price list) r. (C) Nemo. Ie
You need to be ordered around
975r. (10% - it 97.5r.). Not necessarily
simultaneously. Unfortunately, the more favorable offer I can 
not - we will hope to the worst case

(10% r directory. (C) Nemo) is not
comes.

   2. Letters to the "Open letters" in the following order:

           Hello, Nemo!


   When I was the first time wrote a letter
I cherish some hope that not SPECCY
died, and what happens to him, not
is agony. But now I am more inclined to think that you
All this has long been understood, and you to hell
nothing. SPECCY while feeding you -
and it's good, it is still not today - tomorrow it zagnetsya 
finally. 

   Maybe I'm wrong, but in your own words
it (the truth) is not greater than (for me you lot
something written). It is difficult to conclude in absentia and 
only a few pages. Maybe You still do not know (can not), how to 
implement the proposal, and a priori idea buried cards. But 
elementary load the OS on the card. But it is not ***

not to do, probably better, and if so,
bury "chimera" is much better for you.

   Why was it necessary to spread further
"... It means you want to get rid of his own chimeras at my 
expense." I do for a crust of bread himself and your hints to 
my parents simply irrelevant. By the way, no matter how much 
you have invested money, would you put them not in me but in 
the idea. I think it would be cheaper (to send

letter, banderolku) than Hiring
Professionals from St. Petersburg to receive a code.
Yes, and do not want and do not, I too was not
necessary. Range of interests of the people will change, and
peresyadut them on other cars, not on
Spectrum! My interests have changed a long time (growing up:) 
and Speccy - this is a hobby. 

   Fun to read how you teach me, "momma's boy," what it is
serious event. But nary a word about
Indeed, all the same because she was not destined never to 
appear. Nevertheless, GS has successfully for sale (maybe not), 
and the card would be a worthwhile alternative. Yes, I behold 
such a "stupid" without "Know-how", something came up to you. 
You see, not conducted market research, not drawn a concept, do 
not write software, not a legal entity, not I know Russian 
language. 

   Now, if X-TRADE developed his idea
GS, then certainly (very high probability) would come to 
something such as my cards. And if so, then this is not another

bullshit, and you are trading them calmly.

   "... Your proposed architecture does not
has no relation to Spectrum'u -
not entirely correct conclusion on your part.
Card gives the flexibility and freedom Speccy.
Anyway (as you do write) classic Speccy bent in the 90's.

   That you should think "this is a real
developmental perspective Speccy, not limited to a 
compatibility problem. "So you talk about the upgrade as an 
enemy of compatibility with the classic version. Then emphasis 
not see that in this card, this the problem is completely 
solved. There is a bus - is compatible, that's all.


   Ultimately, you sit behind the Intel-compatible machines, or 
throw component at all.


P.S. The most important thing: I thank you that
You elaborated on the problem.
Personally, I would have answered more succinctly, for example: 
"I found that your product - a chimera, and I'm not going to 
participate in this masochism. "


P.S.S. It was interesting to talk to.

    (C) Nemo:

424002 14.06.2000


             Dear Nemo!


   My name is N. I decided to connect a mouse
Speccy in your create-soft'ovskomu
a mouse controller (see ZF-5). Arose
a few questions. I would have said to the Max Romanov, but 
ZF'ah he left only a STA, but call me Peter's expensive, so I 
write to you. Questions simple, so you hopefully do not

be difficult to answer them.

   1). In ZF-5, especially if that is not signed pin numbers 
CT2 counters? I ask them (the rooms) to communicate. 

   2). What is in the controller must
stand decoder (DC)? In ZF, first written ID7, and at the end of 
ID3. What kind of them?


   3). I think the decoder pin numbers do not match their names 
(I of C1, C2, C3). Notify the proper

distribution.

   To these 3 questions I can not find an answer, because 're 
on special. Record: - descriptions of these chips. Help 
information. 

   4). Recently a friend gave mouse Genius
(Active). Can I connect it to a mouse controller scheme in 
ZF-5, and which in this scheme should be m / s: 1561TL1 or 
1561tl2? How can an analog replace the m / s, and then in our 
town there are none? 

   5) Do you happen to know, did not go there
ZX-Format-9 and -2 black crow?

   P.S. If something is wrong, or for the reply
you have to pay money, then I apologize, because I write to you 
first and do not know about your rules.


    SUMMARY:
I have a PC and TX the following:

   - Leningrad-128 (the company YAGUANA) +
TR-DOS 5.04 T + Lprint III + AY-Chip

   - Electric drive. MS5309 (it is 2 discs. MS5305 + block pit.)

   - Monitor elec.-32 WTC 201 (color)

   - Printer D100-M (Polish)

   Configuration is sufficiently poor to date.

   I wish you success. N.


                               22.06.2000

              Dear N!


   Own, unfortunately, to answer
your questions on the move impossible. By STA
call Max Romanov - big thanks to him that does not send (you 
know, where) - the money he is for such consultation is not

gets.

   So:

   1). Counter Type: IE11, a series of 561
(Similar to the National Assembly of 4516). Outputs: D0 - 6; D1 
- 1911; D2 - 14; D3 - 2; P4 - 7.


   2). Decoder type ID7 (a series of forgotten
ask Max)

   3). F0 - 15; F1 - 1914; F2 - 13; F3 -
1912; F4 - 11; F5 - 10;
 F6 - 9; F7 - 7.

   To book at hand, see
2.7. price-list - for this book and there are data. How much 
you interpret them, - That's your problem. What a question -

this is the answer.

   4). About 1561TL1 / TL2 - is unknown.
As for analog - a series of 561TL1 (similar to 4093). Does the 
nature of TL2, Science is not known - is meant TOUCH.


   5). No ZX-F № 9, no FT-2 come out.

   Such a response is not worth the money and no sense
has. Moreover, a meaningful answer is impossible for any money. 
There is a good anecdote about this:


   - Navigator, devices ...

   - Fifty ...

   - With fifty? "

   - What tools?

   6). About YAGUAN'y - have a strong suspicion that it 
KAY-128, - other Leningrad-128, as far as I know, not were 
produced. 

   Completeness of the configuration is determined by
what do you do on your computer - if you
convenient to work - and technical resources
/ Characteristics are sufficient to solve
your existing tasks - the configuration
the most that neither is correct. And what
today is the day - does not matter. Who is behind. he always 
catches up - so much Planida.


   With the expansion to be careful.

   If your computer will crash and burn - but these machines 
are not designed for extension - when buying your next computer 
stop the choice on KAY-1024 (See the price tag in the price 
list). 

                                (C) Nemo.


    Hello, dear Mr. Nemo.


   In March, you have ordered ZX-FORMAT № 9 and
has not yet been received. If the output of the journal
the light is not expected, then send the ZX-FORMAT
№ 6. We have changed the code, but it is unlikely
this could cause a loss of letters
(If it is sent).

                               26.06.2000

412310 26.06.2000


              Dear N!


   Sent to the ZX-FORMAT № 6. Order by
ZXFORMAT № 9 remodeled to pay for
receipt, as has not yet emerged. (C) Nemo

             Dear Nemo!


   Your address, I learned from an electronic journal ZXFORMAT. 
Very interested in your products. Could you send me

Your price with the prices "today"
can be anything you have purchased. At the same time
answer me some questions. 1.
Can I connect to my Speccy emulator click on Figure 1, there is 
in this scheme errors? Just do not think anything

ill. I just rework your mouse in the
passive scheme in the ZF-5 (among other things,
which there must be m / s?), and that
verify that it works, plug the mouse <on
haste> jack joystick. Of course, you can verify a passive mouse 
with an oscilloscope or chastotometra, but these devices I do 
not, therefore see no other way to test your mouse. P.S. 2. 
You, by chance, do not know, came out a ZF-9 and Black Raven-2?


P.P.S. We formed the club (2X) and I
very glad. We got a color monitor.
(VTTS201), 2 B / W Monitor (MS), 2 TV's, remodeled in the mode 
<VIDEO>; 2 discs. MS 5305, 1 disk. TEAC, 2 drives. with IBM; 
screw 20 MB, 2 mouse joystick; blocks pit., comp. Leningrad 
128; Comp. Pentagon-128, Comp. TOOK/48 /; printer DIOOM. We got 
it all or nothing, or very cheap. 48 components are sold, buy a 
128. Now all equipment is left to unite and find kakoenibud 
room. 

P.P.P.S. Greetings to you from all of our <KLUBovschikov>.
P.P.P.P.S. I await your reply.

P.P.P.P.P.S. Good luck to you in this difficult time. Regards,
N.

              Dear N!

 1. Under the scheme can not help.
 2. ZX-F № 9 and FT-2 has not yet emerged.
 3. I am sincerely glad that now you have
club. However, the road is an old technique in operation. Most 
likely, the majority of time will go for repairs. Several 
events ahead, I suggest, when issuing own magazine (newspaper, 
Inform. Do not reinvent the collection of its own shell 
(tekstonositel). Use  ISDOS'a (at least from the 
"Op.let"). Can add your utilities <Wallpaper> etc. and

etc. This will ensure that you are guaranteed
software compatibility and ease
distribution.
 4. Thanks for the suggestions.

                                 (C) Nemo

Appeared once in my printer in the D-100M
July last year (thanx to SWdZ). Naturally, something to print, 
it was necessary prog. I found it - MicroEditor, as well as

iS-Print. The first was immediately written by the driver (see 
annex). But with recent troubles have been - I tried something

pile, but oblamalsya, and a method of writing as ALASM ^ TR ^ 
IS I was not too pleased. So I gave up this venture and

print from MED'a (c001!). So, come
June 1999, the last session
(Sux-! !!)... As they say, it was evening, there was nothing. 
And I decided Still chance to write a driver ...

After throwing all kinds of drivers for ir 23, I
found with the same encoding as for my printer (KOI-S without 
the pseudo-graphic). Armed ZXDv 1.l (rules!!!), I fell swoop

disassemble it ..... Replacing protsedurki throwing byte in 
ports to their homes, the Kiev, I compiled the driver, 
translated it in the iS-DOS, install and start trying to print 
.. As one would expect, the program hung. Torment, as yet with 
an hour or so, I guessed that the driver Nuno kompnlit. at 
address # 0001 and when moving in iS-DOS to put the load 
address of # 0001 option Renarne + (SS + Enter). And now

now you can zayuzat driver (source code included). It is worth 
noting that I have drivers for KAY-1024 requested that zhe ZX.

 How inconvenient (due to the fault A1asma), but
but 64 pages .. For no one, nada, on a secret that the Ram-Diak 
killed? Do not be surprised if in the test, you will see

that you are available to 4 kilobytes - STE A1em'a probably a 
joke;)

128K must die, verily ... Saychas SIMM 256K
is Kopiko if another has disappeared, and then
general can be removed for free with 286 ... 486.
You can put them on ANY computer, eliminating the pathology, 
which is difficult, and 128 put (PLA and other garbage).
