Hi you guys from (c) NEMO. If you
still there, then I do with this deep congratulations. Go 
directly to the case; want to fuck in their competence GENERAL 
SOUND 512k, but I have three questions arises in this 
connection, after which everything falls. 

Here they are;

1. The price of course (what do you think?).

2. Connecting it (GS 512k) to my SPEC
(Very important).

3. Delivery times (well, and there granny to send).

I certainly understand that you need to sell
product, but you get me. When I
paying a "granny", I get a device, I
do not want to have problems with it. As
says something stuck somewhere and raped
result (positive, but not from the word
put). So, I think there is
only two options:

Option 1; Finalize you this card
(More cards, because they are the same two?) Under the connector
(Or under the bus? "Yes it is powerful!) Under the bus
my computer (the wiring system connector
I will cite below). And if it's not expensive, then
Why not?

Option 2, you would send me cards with detailed instructions on 
connecting. Ie how do I get the desired GS 512k signals (such 
as 10Rchert knows that and so on and etc.) from the processor 
Z80. 

And, of course, need both cards to collect
or instruction (print), as they dock (GS with a memory 
expansion slot). 

I send you a self-addressed envelope and
waiting for your response (it would be nice if
Would you in this envelope is also fresh praysik
placed next to the answer that it does not
bored). Thank you in advance and hope
for the fruitful co-operation (almost
written always yours).

P.S. And here is the wiring system connector
on my comp has appeared in time.

P.P.S. Connector SNP58-32/94 * 98-23-2 (male,
64 O) should be on-board GS 512k
(On my comp SNP58-64/95 * 9P-20-2-8
"Mama") and is shown from behind, ie, by
board.

GENERAL SOUND system connector for a computer SYNTHESIS-128S;

If some signals do not - write as
them to do, and I'll try to be Spock.
Well helluva lot of music I love.

              Dear N!

1. For the price and terms of performance - see
price list.

2. To "... have no problems" ... require the standard header, 
in this case, Nemo-bus.


3. Do you have a competent NO tires, the tire includes 
standard, built-in - it's just connector, even if the solder to 
it provodochki / printed track suit. 

Expanding your company - is a small
R & D, about a quarter of man-months, ie a week of work. But 
even if it do not vouch for the results,

hence, it is inappropriate and the money.
To speak with confidence about a certain "technology" 
connection, you must connect at least five components of a

type, and then get feedback on the manual and on this basis to 
assess the reproducibility / successfully connect. 

Also, even in the least the worst case, your
the complex will worsen the following parameters:
remonoprigodnost, reliability failures,
service life. Please note that all these parameters are 
equivalent in rubles, ie, COST OF MONEY. 

4. The official position r. (C) Nemo on such proposals as 
follows: 

4.1. It is understood that the person is able to independently 
carry out a connection, or reassign it to someone who 
RESPONSIBILITY FOR MATERIAL their actions with Your PC.


4.2. If a person does not have the appropriate connectivity, the
it is recommended to either buy a bus KAY
Nemobus, or take a break from thinking about the GS.

4.3. User shall be notified,
as a result of attempts to connect a high probability of 
irreversible damage companies for which shall not be liable 
manufacturer GS, no firm (c) Nemo. This, incidentally, one of 
the reasons for reducing the number of users in Spectrum'e. 

5. Also to be noted that this
kind of connection / extension is not made in St. Petersburg, 
meaning "brilliance", as problem is much more

than money. And this applies to all components that have no 
bus, well, where there is Bus users are usually able to

handle himself. If he is unable to
do even this, he recommended
buy the complex assembly. And so the fifth year.
I understand that you live far away, but when something is 
still to be reached. 

6. It also seems funny your
the idea that the letter may explain how and what to do. And 
who is responsible would be if the smoke go?



                                 (C) Nemo

P.S. By the way, no bus in the ancient
com - is the main problem, which
makes it impossible to release peripheral
devices.

You can, of course, apply in writing
firm CPGCOMPEX, but the result is likely
likely to be similar, in Constantine
already have some experience of such "connections". (Address: 
see price list). 

In the GS I participate only as a postal operator, and I'm no 
unnecessary problems to the anything.

      Hello, dear Nemo!

Please, if possible, make the
repair my board, I'm calling you on this
about February 2.

I: KAY-1024, GS, HDP

GS, or rather was, but that's another story.

Once there were black and white horizontal stripes, but after a 
few trips and powerups everything seems to be was normal.


Then my fault (apparently unevenly GS
interposed) was a correlation. closure. but the PC worked and 
then. 

Appearance of such features: Pay-HDP
splash out, but TR-DOS did not work and
HDP too.

Then somehow comp just started to show
when you turn on some colored squares. On
board basking (strongly) elementiki D8 and
D55.

After replacing them KAY earned, but was
when booting from the TR-DOS hang or reset. When you select a 
boot color HDP squares.


That's all.

I hope that you can still be
reanimate KAY. Thank you.



Dear N!

Reason: packet from 02/15/2001 to three
boards.

1. First, general comments.

1.1. You put me in an awkward position. First of all, because 
the fee KAY'ya lead to a normal state has impossible. 
Restoration of damaged (Broken-down payment) MGTF'om always 
reduces the reliability and service life. Moreover, the 
connector XS 6 Burglary, so is not recommended, replace him as 
impossible - it NEREMONTIRUEMO. 

1.2. Not worth it to undertake repair fee if
You are unable to do it, or charging
is someone who is not financially responsible for the 
consequences of their actions. 

1.3. When an existing character, level and
the amount of damage I can not give guarantees PERFORMANCE. In 
fact, you need to buy a new card. Meanwhile, the repair is 
worth the money and I need you to get them. Therefore decided: 

1.3.1. Repair fee for half-price,
just a counter ran up 600 rubles. ie
Six hours of work, of which 120 rubles. -
salary, the rest - Overhead (40% -
for the scope of repair). Ie amount to be paid -
300 rub.

1.3.2. Guarantees for performance cars is not given, ie If it 
comes from system, or it will fail - need to buy a new card.


1.3.3. Controller IDE-drive is sent
You back in the form, that is - is
Non-Repair. If you have activated the hard drive, the GS is 
resting (you only have two slots), if GS is set, then 
Winchester is resting. Therefore, you should decide what to do 
with the controller IDE - ITS should be changed. Non-Repair in

this case should be understood in the sense that the new 
controller card (instead of old) will cost you less, namely:

200 rub. (Including shipping costs). By your same
controller is not possible to guarantee performance.

2. Finally recommendations are made:

2.1. Desirable to establish a fee in the BODY
- And leaves her there. Permanent perevtykanie boards - it's 
not normal MODE OPERATION. The connectors are a finite 
resource, namely: a few hundred joints, then a fee can be 
discarded. Well do not come to mind as, for example,

perevtykat blocks in front of the TV
viewing of "Time". Clearly,
the TV at such an "operation"
long time did not serve. Sooner or later
something peremknete. It is impossible to realize the technical 
design, which I could function normally when

an inadequate maintenance. This is not
to mention the cost of such construction.

2.2. Who solder in a diode? Whoever it was,
it is not recommended to do repairs, because the result is 
known in advance - getting the money. Understand hour repairman 
standing STO Rubles. Perhaps someone contracted to cheaper as a 
result it has turned out even more. Fee had not repaired and To 
restore, but it is very expensive. Between That did not 
Stradivarius violin. 

2.3. If you have a desire to climb
a computer with a soldering iron, you see under: "podpayka to 
the terminals, as well as any soldering FREE MANUFACTURER FROM 
ANY LIABILITY. "We need to understand that those times when you 
can tick one fee Spectrum'a, throw it in the trash, then buy 
another card for next to nothing, and again to destroy it, 
PASSED. Second-hand boards (used) Practically no. Ie all of them

"Perfected", "extended" (to the size of a large garbage) and 
"finalized". Now, for all have to pay money, including 
including hands thrust into the spot where the head does not 
climb. 

2.4. If you want to understand something, try to independently 
develop some device, then please be kind enough to do this for 
the Standard Joints, via bus or Centronics. Supplied

a special development board with appropriate joints (for 
docking on to Centronics solder DB25P in maketku - See 1.5 
price list). Even if the this case, and fails the basic

board, its repair (manufacturer's) cost p 100-200. (Including 
shipping), rather than 600 rubles. As in your case. And pay 
nearly have not lost in reliability, either in operational 
life, nor in the functions. 

Appendix:

I. Proper fee Kai-1024

1). Vypayan Zener VDS - soldered.

2). Pereplyusovan diode VD3 - resolder

3). Burnt track power under the SRU -
MGTF'om restored.

(PD from IBM PC - is not it!: - A housing METAL!)

4). Restoration on the standby field of IC D55
(LL1) - was plucked from the board "with meat"

5). Restoration of D8 (LP9) - taken out of
board "with meat"

6). Strongly dolt (large gap) connector XS6 - Non-Repair

II. Controller In-Turbo

1). IMS1533 installed IE10 instead
531IE17 - switched conclusions

2) cut slat on a printed slot -
restored

III. Board IDE - Drives: all istykana
soldering iron - Non-Repair.

              Hello!

We very much ask you to send us
price list and disk OPEN LETTERS on "PROFI 512. But, most 
importantly, please answer whether you buy a push X-TRADE 
modem, for us it is very necessary and importantly, help me, 
please. You in advance grateful.

P.S. Mark attached ...



              Dear N!

1. Floppy disk with the "open letters" to be
normally run on "PROFI".

2. Section 1.10. "Modem" (see price) is removed from the
production. Resumption of
not planned yet. My personal opinion
to networks and the problems that they generate, see "Open. 
Letters" early issues: N 3, N 4. In addition, there are 
objective reasons that make it inappropriate production of 
modems: 

2.1. Probably soon to be introduced povremenka, which means 
that the networks lose khalyavnykh resource. Willingness to pay 
the same in the networks I do not discover this realm freebie.


2.2. Expansion of networks is a danger to the platform 
Spectrum, because network in fact, maintained at the expense of 
all other users, this is the realm of freebies. 

2.3. Stay in the networks have a very negative impact on the 
intellectual and cultural level. Since the free information 
does not happen, then people find themselves in networks, in 
essence, is the sewage system, a kingdom of freebies. 

2.4. Network set the stage for massive violations of copyright, 
thereby destroying by software firms, which in soybeans turn, 
leads to a narrowing of the market for hard-firms. In addition, 
users are inadequate, driven by its own chimeras transformed 
into a herd (or more precisely - in a cloud of locusts), which 
greatly increases risks of production, as know where

lomanetsya this herd in the next moment.
