Continue to invest not 7 p. And 3
cu - Ie 3 cu (5,1 = 15.3 p. Mark (May 2001)

That's the minimum. Desirable as 6 $ "30 p.

              Dear N!

1. Question on CP / M was discussed in detail
letter, N 5 file 05.txt (Nemo) "Open letter N 1" in 1999. 
Briefly, I note that at KAY-1024 work on operating systems CP / 
M did not carried out, the machine is oriented at an IS DOS.

Reasons to see the file 05.txt, why
CP / M is not supported and accompanied. I note that it is not 
in the specifications (they lack), and for reasons of a more 
general nature. Respectively, are not supplied and the program. 



                                (C) Nemo.

P.S. If you are interested in CP / M,
are urged to read
texts two years ago, otherwise you'll have to explain 
everything for a second time. Disc You can order, see price.

              Dear N!

About achievement - can not say that thickly, see "Open 
Letter". Please note that payment is now said Mark (15/30 pv. 
May, 2001) - 3 $ / 6 cu - See price. I think it is necessary to 
repeat what is printed in the Open Letters EVERYTHING receive 
letters. 


                                (C) Nemo.

   Hello, Vyacheslav G.!

The subject of this appeal is very sad
as same computer that I purchased from
You are exactly one year ago, not so long ago, flatly refused 
to work. When you turn a lack of food menu, the firmware, but 
instead in a rectangle screen "snow". No effect does not 
install (removing cards, ROM, SRU, YM2149F etc.


I would like to ask you
the possibility of repairing this system
Boards KAY, namely:

- Whether in Volgograd your dealers (
accelerate the repair)?

- How you will arrange to send payment?

- Pay for the repairs (prepay, I think).

Well, in general, and all. Yes, I put
DM at 6 rubles. The fact is that today, Sunday, and I do not 
want to go to e-mail, it is far away. I think

that this amount should be sufficient for your answer, because 
I do not advertise and do not order a advice




                              05/20/2001.

          Dear Larin AV!

In Volgograd, I have no dealers.

Fee (together with the drive controller)
should be sent on to that in
price list at the valuable parcel,
packed carefully (at least not
less packed than you have). Term
repair (average, from receipt to
moment of sending, in fact over the last
year) - three weeks. Payment upon receipt
printed matter (COD). Price Repair $ 25 (10% of the price) in 
the case 

1). If the board is off limits (not to be
restore) with a soldering iron

2). If payment is not perezhzhena completely.

The price of the repairs an additional advantage
the cost of parts, but it's noneshnim
times, a penny. Transfer back to you -
by r. (C) Nemo. Mail when you pay extra to wind of 5-10% for 
reverse translation. Total: about 150 rubles. 

3. In such cases, more
accurately reported that you have acquired. You do not buy the 
same computer, COMPLETE, and the fee, - KAY'ya, screw + 
adapter. The order is received / made 10.28.2000 / 15.06.2000. 
Warranty (6 months). You have ended a month before the 
breakdown (measured from the sent, ie 10.28.2000.) Shipping date

pisa (by postmark) 21.05.2000.

Very useful to put marks on the full
amount, namely: 6 $ - 30 p. (May
2001). Explain why. In this case,
You would not have any questions about the fact
as much as when and so on. There is
a typical repair procedure, it can be
read from letters / precedents, ie,
as happened with other users on the facts as they were served 
and what conditions and in what time frame (see "Open letter 
"!!). Understand - Open writing "- is not only advertising, and 
not only advice. All letters are printed, and also REPAIR and 
Complaints without any censorship.




                                (C) Nemo.

P.S.

By the way, if you can claim trademark
HARDLY AT ALL not to invest if the topic is not curmudgeonly, 
and not a hidden attempt to obtain consultation, as well as 
you, need repair. 

Does not prevent also mention that you
measured the voltage on the board (as
it is recommended in the Owner's Manual "- BP is your - what 
type? may six volt power supply, ie, burn AGAIN. If you buy a 
card (blue), you should be able to It does, otherwise the 
necessary buy the complex assembly.




             Dear NEMO!

Wrote to you on behalf and on behalf of another

a magazine ZX-Format of your KAY-256 and it is us very much, 
especially his open architecture that allows continuous 
improvement Comp. Turn to You send a request with your price

development (of course, if the Spectrum and
Your company is still alive). Warrant an order for
three devices (after studying your
price list). If your company no longer exists,
it may be give the address where you can

In advance thank you.

                    06.06.01


           Dear, Nick!

I'm glad your awareness and responsiveness in information. Just 
in case recall that now in 2001. That

As for the "liveliness of firms, it is necessary to
Pay money, and will not be stupid questions - information costs 
money. Did Spectrum'y, do and will do - you understand? Those 
who pay for the service, software, equipment, know about it. 
Actually does not die Spectrum? a freebie. But in the

extent that the Spectrum was based on the freebies, and he 
dies. In Greek - a catharsis - cleansing. 

2. "I guarantee the order ..." - Catch word for it. Continue to 
letters received from Dneprodzerzhinsk without pay (see 
conditions in price list) will not be processed. Y

I is not a social security, Ukraine send REGULARLY Prices 
letters, sales also Virtually none. The average salary in 
Ukraine - $ 47 in Russia - $ 81, in Belarus - $ 120 (roughly, 
the information is not checked). Therefore, in terms of sales - 
on first place in Belarus, on the second - Russia, well, and 
the Ukraine over the last year sold only one board KAY-1024. 
Between by sending an advertising package to Ukraine

is 7 / 10 cu (Approx: $ 1,2 / 1,8 - to
hryvnia count them yourself). Who is for you
will pay?

3. Proposals for work with Ukraine, see the previous "open 
letters", the numbers do not remember. In the letter, a 
leitmotif held idea that you're there for

Ukraine, the designated dealer who represents the company (c) 
Nemo. Reasons to see the same letter. Note also the attached 
file DOKUM.txt CURRENT "open letters". 

4. "... New developments" - well, slope, itching to do? In 
order to be Technical development, to the appropriate brain 
development. Why produce one hundred new things, if you use 
information five years ago? Think this is a very important 
point. Or maybe Did you think that the growth of mc / megabytes 
will neurite rolls on trees (a freebie)? Woo, first to have 
been realized the possibilities inherent in KAY-1024. The 
possibilities are realized through RENT, ie payment devices, 
software. support. That's where the brains are ripe for this 
simple thought, it would be talk about the specifications. 
Well, what about Zonova again see Section 2. Why throw good 
money after bad? 



                                (C) Nemo.

           Hello, Nemo!

Fully admitted his guilt -
do not put a mark in his last letter
order, for which he was "punished". I was struck by your trust 
in people - You do do not know me - and then get on

days of your new price and the "OL". It turns out I
again in your debt. Correct (better
late than never) - sending you 15
rub. marks for handling my last order and the floppy OL + 7 pv. 
for answers the questions raised in this letter. I would like 
to know: 

1. Firstly, I am interested in performance
this infamous order: I received a floppy disk "Isot" and 10 
pieces. CDs with software - from price list, I realized that 
this is associated with point 3.11 (they are actually used - 3 
disc were broken, but that failed - rewrote). Where are the 
others - drive 5.25'' TERN and Free board?


What is the reason I get this software?
Does this mean that I do not get the rest or do I need to do 
some surcharge?


In my previous letter (which was
without stamps - cursed himself now, but believe me, just 
forgot), I asked about his letter dated 04/09/2000, with marks 
for the "Mega Tatris "and OL. Did you get it? If

not, with an order to send this
amount again (it is clear that converted at a new factor and 
what to do? - And then just torment (there is such a word in

Russian)).

Having examined the new price, I decided to make a new
Order:

- 2.8. Newspaper para @ n N 3 - 1 pc. $ 2

- 3.11. Floppy disks used with the software - 30 pcs. 30
cu

(Would not want to get repetitive - I got wheels C-13, GAM-5, 
6, 11, 12, 16, 17, 28, "Mortal Combat" and "Spectrum Expert" # 
2) 

- 3.12 Package of Spectrum - Logs 10

All you good!

                  (Received 11.03.01 - N)



           Hello, Nemo!

Yesterday I received a parcel from you with the remnants of his 
order of 1.29 - and drive Free board. Postmarked stood

departure date 01/30/2001. Where is it (wrapper) for a walk? 
But well at least come and then you have probably formed a 
negative attitude as for me personally, so and the work of our 
Russian mail. Although If common judge, this very post

deserves criticism: apparently, both
packet (ie, the first floppy "Isot"
and 10-th disk with the software and the second - which
just received) have been framed by you
simultaneously (or with a difference of 1-2 days).
First I got a 7.02. and a second later
more than a month. On receipt of this second
parcels weighed all the issues that I
asked in a letter to the order of 5.03.

From your letter, 237, attached to the parcel, I found out that 
the discs (10 pcs.) Obtained by me earlier, is your suggestion 
to solve my problem with LOGROS'om. Forced to agree with you on 
the completion of this incident. I am already very tired of 
this race. 

Now about the "MT-2000. If you are reading my
letter concluded ("smart enough") to
getting my OL and "MT-2000", then you
right. I got them, the 12/30/2000 (were
sent you 24.12). Otherwise, what kind of
would be his duty to you, I stuttered?

Yes, completely forgot to do this was a letter to begin. Drive 
operates in parallel. It is true when connecting I did not pay 
attention to the jumper DO-D3 (was D1), and I have a 
5.25''attached as "A". First sat and waited, and when it stops 
buzzing and download the floppy disk. And all this (hum) 
occurred without the inclusion of the LED. Then came, moved the 
jumper and everything went fine. Now on another dam - on RY. I 
do not know why, can influence vibrations in transit or so it 
was, but one of her pins had broken off, ie, hung in the air. I 
accurately as possible, soldered it back. Looked at the scheme 
(I've got "Repair drives "SOLON") - it connects the output of 
the detector ready RDYO. but the drive works fine with both her

and without it - at least, and reads
and tried to write - everything is normal.
What is its role?

Well, like everything. Like you to
received this letter before submitting the order for
my last from 5.03. But you have to
surprisingly quickly to handle correspondence, ie it is 
unlikely to succeed. Again, much ado. Answers to questions that 
have already resolved themselves (With Post Office), etc.

etc.

Grades 7 rub. attached - schooled by bitter
experience. This is when I received from you first
02/07/2001 parcel, with disks and no
line response.

Best wishes.


       15/03/2001. (Received 21.03.01 - N).



          Hello, Nemo!

order - sent a letter and translation at 199
p. + 05/03/2001 brands. What happened to him? Or

the second part of the order of 1.22. (Drive and
Free Board) only 14.03. Although he was sent to you 30.01. 
(Postmarked) - I told you about this in a letter 15.03.).


Does not exclude the possibility that you have not received a 
letter with the composition of the order (about Translation I'm 
not so worried - this I have not yet exist), so just in case, 
specify the composition of this order: 

- 2.8. Newspaper para @ n N 3 - 1 pc. $ 2

pcs. = 40 pc. 2x2 = $ 40

- 3.11. Software used 30 pcs.

     Dear, Vladimir!

1. Indeed, the drive and motherboard TERN
"Airplane" Section 1.5 (a packet) and diskettes (31 pcs. - The 
second packet), were shipped same day, namely: 1/30/2001.


2. On jumpers D0-D3. Selection jumper
drive by delivery may be
either in the position of D0, either in the position of D1.
This is easily verified in the same TR-DOS, requesting drive 
"B". Install jumper position D1 is due to construction

Technology booth. Regarding the role of bridge RY nothing I can 
not tell, because:


2.1. Stand on checking / testing /
alignment / adjustment / repair drive
be not with me, and at the plant - in
artisanal conditions, these work to carry out
meaningless. Accordingly, a purely organizational engaged in 
this special people on contract. Pass through the twenty-

different types of disk drives, and interested in a particular 
bridge. 2.2. There is a list of verification procedures, which 
resulted in the conclusion of the performance or rejection 
drive. Where is it and how are the jumpers, it is, by and 
large, no matter if it works. Especially since I'm not going to 
make inquiries on this bridge. 

2.3. Apologies for the delay in sending. Mail
nothing to do with. Your next job
(Letter dated 06/06/2001. - Custom-made) received
together with the translation. Sending both of your order 
immediately, ie 07/06/2001. Medium term send turned out about 
one and a half months. Magazines dating from the late 1999, 
about the output of any publications after this date

I do not know. With regard to the coefficients, it is 5.2 in 
June. Your mistake with a coefficient would take a discount for 
the delay of departure - no extra cost not necessary.



                                (C) Nemo.

P.S. We are now fighting inflation, consider at your leisure, 
what does this mean in practice. Hence the delay. 



             Dear Nemo!

Please send me - Sergei Ivlev price
list of all hardware and software manufacturers
for XZ-Spectrum'a, and the terms of shipment.


                       Sincerely Sergei


                              06/18/2001.

MY ADRESS

                                03/22/2001.


    Dear Sergei Vladimoirovich!

1. Unfortunately, the answer exhaustive
way your question is impossible.
("<...> ALL manufacturers hardware and software
<...>"). And it's not so much a lack of necessary information. 
Complete information on the platform (complex system) No one 
is, take it as axiomatic. So when I see a quantifier "ALL", 
then see this partly as naive. Now the points:


1.1. Not all who are engaged in iron and
software are ready to have the desire and the condition /
resources for direct contact with users, ie, they have no 
mechanisms for e-mail message. They may, for example, delegated 
to me (ie charge) questions mailing (feedback by mail). 

1.2. Not all who are engaged in iron and
software in Spectrum'e, produce COMPLETED consumer value, is 
manufacturers and semi-finished products (ie, in essence, a 
contractor). As you know, they need not have conditions 
shipping and distribute their address. 

1.3. Not everyone who is engaged in iron and
software in Spectrum'e interested in the general advertising. 
And of course, I must consider their interests. I note in 
passing, that it bears no relation to

crime. (This is for people specifically employed). There is 
another problem, they work on a very narrow sector / segment 
market and find customers without a broad, open advertisement.


Russia now has a lot of "mad kaptalov. In fact, it is not even 
capital, but just money bags. If such a "capitalist" (and just 
a thief) comes into their market sector, it destroys everything:

structure, customer confidence, ie himself
market segment. Especially in this area thrive pisyukantsy. 
"Ideas" (Durie, chimeras) of these people a lot. Understanding 
the same, experience, professionalism, skill and

desire to work for the future - zero.
They begin to promise "the sky with diamonds"
ie give unsecured by anything except the money-bag, liabilities 
and pull down the market, thereby discredit logo Spectrum'a).


I suggest to them: "Let's you make ads. They answer: "Why?" The 
first thing nabegut lamer and not clients, and everything will 
be wasted. They even competitors-that can not be named, so 
pisyukanskaya punks ... Keeping Mum, if you want us to

had the opportunity to continue to buy your
board. That's it now ...

1.4. Not everyone who is engaged in iron and
software in Spectrum'e has sufficient
reliability. It is about stability
firm. If I give you questionable, in my opinion, address, and 
you are there, Roughly speaking, send (good if you do not 
throw), then what you think about me and Spectrum'e in general? 
Example. Newspaper Abs @ u - A new, fourth issue, I did not

sent, not sent to the distribution and advertising. To find out 
is it costs money, whether they work or not. Give the address or

err?

1.5. Not everyone who is engaged in iron and
software in Spectrum'e, really do Spectrum'om, or rather, the 
commercial exploitation / discredit logo (the word) Spectrum. 
(See 1.3). Ie parasitism. Incidentally, this division is not my 
invention. Lieutenant U.S. Air Force, Edward Roberts, a

known to the public as the founder of
MITS company (the producer company "Altair") persistently and 
consistently shared the manufacturers in the REAL and 
parasites. And they were established, judging by their own

experience. Of course, the line is very shaky, and
In addition, subjective. Sometimes it be
can not. Why should I be at its expense
provide information about them? Will
this information or misinformation? Think at your leisure. Why 
should I provide them with publicity and information support, 
increasing their own overhead, creating a breeding

environment for parasites? That is, in fact, their
subsidy?

Let's sum total. From your letter it is not clear
who you are. If a user is using a simple price list. If plagues 
(except for high-bubbles "buble gum" (see TV)), then access to 
information can be broader. By the way, the price list have 
addresses CPG COMPEX and ISCRA Soft. If you Spectrum-trader, 
where is your sales? Their I I see. You can even "pisyukanets. 
why write "My adress", if you can write

"My address is." This is a typical pisyukansky
Syndrome Wednesday, some English - a roof and
rides.



                                (C) Nemo.

P.S. Additional addresses are in the "open letters". But, as 
you know, no responsibility for them, I am not ...
