Iron - PC -> ZX: Connecting to the Spectrum multicards.

      PC -> SPECTRUM?


     Editorial review.
________________________________

 Better to be rich and assertive
firm than the poor, and lack of initiative, a quality not
matter - involuntarily come to this conclusion, as he watched
lurid IBM conquers the mind,
hearts and wallets of our compatriots. AMIGA, MACINTOSH and
others surrendered without a fight, though
Our potential market is simply not interested. MACINTOSH More
that is trying - in Kharkiv was even exhibition - presentation
these machines, and any of you have seen
ever advertising AMIGO? Although, advertising commercials and 
fill up CIS Second Hand computers for

price of scrap metal these firms
just guts.

  Well, IBM - as IBM, will
have a thing to deserve it. I mean,
that all of us sooner or later peresyadem just for this car. 
Let us then we will not spray our already modest savings, and 
begin to invest in your future computer.

 It's about connecting to the periphery of the Spectrum 
IBM'ovskoy: multicards, internal modem,

sound card, etc. Through
multicards (Multicard), in its
turn, are connected IBM'ovskie:
mouse, joystick, printer, COVOX,
external modem, 1.44 MB floppy drive,
HDD, CD-ROM, network adapter, etc. The cost of the card
$ 5 ... 10.

  Connecting the internal modem
from IBM (which is programmed
identical appearance, but cheaper
it) to its Spectrum 48K :-)
has been successfully implemented in Kharkov FIDO'shnik G. 
Shepelev. The corresponding circuit description and software 
support (1200 ... 9600) can be obtained from him

personally or through FIDONET.

  Now G. Shepelev working
connection to the Spectrum multicards. It would be nice if a
it worked V.M.G. That
has long been connected to SPECCY
chip direct memory access 1810 VT37 (without the possibility of 
using multicards not completely), and someone from

programmers with experience in
this field (eg RST7) -
one mind is good, but three - four -
even better!
