      Reflections of decency - 2

           against GENERAL SOUND



     According to many readers, a very big interest was 
material under Sergei Larionov entitled "Reflections of decency 
ON THE BACKGROUND OF GENERAL SOUND". Some (very few) have found 
this article very tough and harsh, but most acknowledged that 
the events described, Sergei, are taking place (in one form or 
another). Finally, came the response, which we are all looking 
forward to ... 

     We have written the representatives of the St. Petersburg 
firm X-TRADE, which manufactures and these same musical board. 
Moreover, this response was written by DANGEROUS, that is, 
immediately developer himself GENERAL SOUND. Here is the letter 
we present completely (kicked out of his only full instructions 
on connecting GS, configuring and troubleshooting) ... 



(C) DANGEROUS



     Hi sozdatelyam zhurnala VOyAGER!



     Wrote unto you directly author and razrabotchik 
intellektualnoy and nezabvennoy muzykalnoy karty GENERAL SOUND. 
Saw vash zhurnal. Friend with Funtopa brought. Very good for a 
first series number. Nedostatki - too many yumora, short 
stories. Informatsii nado be bigger, that's going strane. AND 
convertible animashku better. And do not pisat that you use any 
Pentium-perepentiumy for proizvodstva zhurnala. Can understand, 
pohvastat ohota, but it sinkleristam HOW knife to the heart. 


     Now that I zastavilo napisat
unto you. You navernoe already sami dogadalis. Tak here, let me 
speak with the explanation. What you read, do not a case of 
vosprinimayte, HOW runaround, tak HOW neschastny obladatel 
dannogo ekzemplyara GS popal in takuyu situatsiyu blagodarya 
not only firm Scorpion, but the prevailing obstoyatelstvam. 



     To explain everything in general, little nachnu
izdaleka. In samom nachale proizvodstva "Saundy" predstavlyali 
of a platu, vesma cumbersome, with an adapter, similar nA 
diskovodny. In short, takim, kakim he opisyvalsya in zhurnale 
ZX-FORMAT. This was because the first nA porah nas have not 
been able to razvesti platu 4-m klassom (ie, 2 paths between 
nogami chips). HOW takaya only opportunity poyavilas, "Saund" 
has a more peripheral view kompaktny karty, kakih without any 
adapters in the system vstavlyayuschiysya razem Skorpa / Kaya. 
"Staryh Saundov" was produced entirely nA light malo - exactly 
50 pieces, and they rasprostranyalis ONLY SANKT PETERSBURG only 
companies X-TRADE. 



     Judging by the state in materialu vashego zhurnala,
I would suggest that:

 1. Author Saund received with incomplete dokumentatsiey.
Why - not znayu (possibly from nas glitch may
skorpionschiki xero - nedokserili). Ha realnoy How has 
everything necessary for a successful connection, tsokolevka 
where kakoy razem, and that delat with IORQCE, etc. Although, 
wait a minute! Author ispolzoval test given in the 
instructions, a materialy, otrazhayuschie all processes 
connected to Saunda "neslotovym" kompyuteram nahodyatsya HOW 
raz before opisaniem testa! Well, could not have a printer (or 
photocopier ;-)) when pechati miss half lista teksta!? 
Therefore inclined to assume that someone slyapal instructions 
zanovo or polzovatel looked at her and saw a fig. If not broke 
unto you throw me an e-mail, attach, pozhaluysta, that 
statement in an envelope nashey examination. 

 2. Author, zapodozriv neladnoe not obratilsya za by kuda nado 
(a nado would tuda, where he bought saund, would call or email 
napisal, or Fido, or internet - full of ways), nA worst, if 
pozabyl, where he bought saund, could svyazatsya WITH WHOM 
Anything to Peter - his letter necessarily peredali would be 
X-TRADE immediately. A if it pozhelal ostatsya a nA alone with 
his problemami - then reconcile it does not help ...


 3. He did not znaet that there takaya shtuka - garantiya
(A ona a).

 4. He saw the Spectrum Expert! He znaet Address XTRADE!!! And 
do not obratilsya to Us. And za glaza wrote slanderous statyu 
in a whole new zhurnal. It's a shame. We all can understand, 
but nas understand! We vsegda sdelat want, HOW better. 
Especially to Us ranshe nor razu not postupali zhaloby tipa 
"saund not podklyuchaetsya. 


 Now about obstoyatelstvah. Neschastny vladelets
saunda chital zhurnal ZX-FORMAT with the ancient, HOW the world
informatsiey, tak HOW danny output FORMATA "was released, after 
8 (eight) months after the adoption of my stati !!!!!!!! Poka 
Formata preparing this issue, we Not only had all rasprodat 
starye saundy, but and throw manufacturing pechatnyh plat nA 
other zavod, zanovo pererazvesti platu, clean up some kakie 
circuit design flaws in the scheme saunda and bring it to full 
fitness. Danny FORMATA room was one of samyh squalid (in 
informativnosti) and its navredil ustarevshey informatsiey not 
only nashey firm and prodolzhaet harm - for people to

So far chitayut it.



     O that SAUND undergone changes pisala Piterskaya setevaya 
gazeta ZX-NEWS, a Formatchiki dazhe napisat not bother about it 
in the next nomerah, a date every i raz napominat they do not I 
- I and tak zabot mouthful. 


     Ha future znayte - X-TRADE nobody ostavlyaet in trouble 
vsegda pomogaet, they can. Very carefully lazayte za Board in 
ZX-REVIEW in spectrophone - tam popadayutsya lamerskie tips and 
dorabotki. Y ZX-REVIEW does not seem to be referees for hardu, 
they could not verify. Chasto poluchaetsya tak - user something 
tam pridumal like HOW something zarabotalo and he srazu 
brosaetsya pisat statyu not zadumyvayas whether it will be 
rabotat others, kakova repeatability will be his dorabotki, a 
can, ona general zarabotala miracle, and no one else rabotat 
will not. HOW something like davno NEMO napisat this statyu, 
but then zabil nA is - could flame rise.



     Now, what can sdelat.



     Judging by the state, saund is connected correctly, with 
signalom IORQGE not razobralis - otsyuda, perhaps, glitches in 
the CP / m nA PROFI. Vysylayu instructions. Do not use long 
provoda when connected (max. 20 cm - Tyres for profit is not 
buferirovana, mode Turbo can be glitches with computer). If it 
does not help - send a parcel to the Scorpio with vashim 
saundom, possibly saundom nelady. Put poslanie that we znali it 
from the vas. Repair besplatno, if nA saunde no traces pozhara. 



                 *



     What kasaetsya testa with the number 3, then it is not
"Poklast nA signal IORQCE", simply nA Profi deshifratsiya ports 
saunda not perekryvaetsya with internal portami kompyutera. Ha 
other mashinah chisla 3 without IORQCE can not see - will be 
left number, depending on who would chip bus dannyh - saund

or Spectrum.



     More raz skazhu - saund absolyutno ispravno rabotaet HA 
ALL MODELS Spectrum and does not conflict with any other 
peripherals. Contemporary saundam 12 volts is not necessary.



     Kstati have vashego humble servant - too Profi pravda CP / 
M-ohm do not use in his glaza dazhe did not see exactly HOW and 
other few "profiyschiki" in St. Petersburg. Not slyshal dazhe 
that there are at least kakie something more or less sensible 
programmy mode CP / M. 


     Boldly soglashus that polzovateli IBM denied kayfa victory 
nad computer with payalnikom in rukah. Deprived of his takzhe 
vladeltsy Scorpio / Kaev. A conventional polzovateli Spectrum 
VSEGDA will this kayf catch and neodnokratno. X-TRADE same 
spetsialno razrabotala universalny bus formirovatel (here it is 
- confirmation nashey zaboty of polzovatelyah) for any 
Spektruma (chitayte SE # 2), allowing prevratit their 
sarayushki of the wires in a more or less decent comp. We 
shemku razrabotali - delayte, gospoda. Zapuskat it into 
production, we seems to have no will - once again accused of 
obiranii sinkleristov. A nas is already rather dostalo.



                              Good luck.



                 *



     This letter was immediately referred to Sergei,
and he wished to write a few lines for all,
More specifically respond personally DANGEROUS'u.

     Here, then, and have found answers to my questions. About 
how to connect (and it is here not shown), make a reservation 
at once: I have three sheets of it that's all of the author and 
does not, although perhaps 10 percent still are. And reported 
that at the first opportunity I will send it in X-TRADE. And 
before I got in touch with them because that:

 - First: Peter we have no one to correspond and to contact 
with anyone so I could not;  - Secondly: to send an e-mail to 
mail'om detected addresses Scorpio answers did not come;  - 
Third: between writing my article and publishing it VOYAGER'e 
passed four months in one point I even protested against its 
publication;  - Fourth: do not I got one such instruction, I 
know of two more similar obladateleley opus. And there was all 
this time, in full confidence that the return of such original 
description is good manners to all St. Petersburg firms. The 
newspaper FLASH INFO N14 also mentioned on the harmfulness of 
instruction, date of publication of this newspaper 10/01/1998, 
and if I had read a newspaper at first (about at the end of 
February), then SE N1 (somewhere in March) and I saw that all 
this is ignored, then decided that X-TRADE can not write. A 
VOYAGER - here it is, nearby, and not entirely new.

 - Fifth: I was then very angry. Call from the high cost of no 
one going now. For Fido was then access horseradish, but about 
'Net something I did not realize.



     About conflict-free connection to the pros can not say 
anything, except that it at 179/V3 / control register is 
located, and at 187/VV / - external modem connected to

COM port. I have to it the modem is not connected, but
it always is linked Bat. Table addressing send along with 
instructions. 


     About Tire shaper say at once: I'm on it
read the second issue of "Spectrum Expert"
and am going to do it. I only slow that
in log shipping article on disk (it infuriates me in all the 
magazines, and not just me one). What to do with the screens, I 
do not know why scheme will have to be redrawn by hand. Once

I gather it and connected, so just try to write a review of his 
work. 


     Here, perhaps, and everything that I wanted to say
about it.


                 *



     This is the answer. In general, if you look at
the whole thing without going into details ... If our
magazine will help to restore justice, to learn
truth, though, would help one person achieve
its ... what the heck, even for this one
should sit all night in front of the monitor
bringing to mind the fact that later became the magazine 
VOYAGER. Try to argue ... 



     And on the GS and PROFI - topic is not closed,
History has its own development, we will wait for the final ... 
The moment when Sergei music will sound not only through the AY 
or COVOX, but also through the GS. 



       And therefore, until the next issue!



       Absolutely not beat anyone
