   Congratulations to the Editor
ZX Power with the release of the first issue and I congratulate 
myself with my first article in this remarkable work of human 
hands. The emergence of new electronic editions for 
Sinclairsovmestimyh computers shows still neugasshem interest 
of the population of the former Empire to the democratic

platform. My new development
in communications designed to
nemeryannom just pick it up (yes,
I am a humble person), and a little bit to extend the life of 
the components with the most convenient in the world assembler 
with lots of wonderful programs and well-designed structure.


  So, a few words about the design, the address of which was 
made so many flattering words, and which is intended to shake 
the world ;-). 

  The scheme is a communication port, made
FULLY standard RS-232C,
which can connect any serial device
such as a mouse, modem, printer
or another PC. In this case, the exchange rate with the modem 
or printer supports from 110 to 19200 baud, and the rate of 
exchange with another machine can reach

64000 baud. It is possible
connect any serial mouse
and / or any modem speed
from 300 to 19200 baud.

  On September 9, 1996 is
device is already operational and
gives me pleasure to communicate over a modem with IBM'ovskimi
BBS. I wrote a program
lets you share files
in a standard XMODEM, XMODEM / CRC,
XMODEM1k, YMODEM, YMODEM-g. Now write a terminal program that 
allows to share files in a standard ZMODEM. Some of its other 
features:  - 80 characters per line;

 - Session management protocol;
 - Support for Kempston-mouse;
 - Working with IBM drives;
 - Built-in phone book;
 - Support for code cleanup

   screen;
 - Can support ANSI

   and / or AVATAR;
 - Support for macros;
 - A rich menu of options.

  As well as many additional
opportunities. Being developed interrupt controller and
support for 512 points in a row
because only with these
improvements can be made normal terminal program running (and 
not a monstrosity like Shepeleva). By my calculations,

October already appears in Kharkov
willing to pay, and a month after the start of official sales 
will be released on circuit design, which is still available 
only to a narrow circle of persons. 

  Perhaps in Kharkov in 1996
finally open the first sinklerovskaya BBS, where you can
would find a lot of interesting things.
