6.12.97 (C) Iron Falcons Press <H> In today's issue: Four kilobytes Iron Super Laser Squad Night shift Advertisement 4 kilobytes of Chief Editor (C) Hacker Rasp General news and innovations in the newspaper. "Short" because the memory for text small, and the correct podgruzki blocks from the disk are not yet fully debugged. Today we will have one innovation in shell. Its essence is this: when shipping on the disc after the copyright of the author will add one line showing issue of the newspaper, which was published this material. This is to ensure, to throw off the reading of the text on the disc It was clear from it. In addition, increased volume and page ABOUT brought to mind management in the main menu. I've got a not very good news. We, Iron Falcons, decided to temporarily Freeze output Optron. And the thing that is approaching the end of the year, the session, you know, we will not have time to work on a newspaper, but you will not have time to read it properly. But we will definitely return no later than the end of January. Perhaps, then, is already full will be sold modems (according to Sergey Filimonov wait is not long - a month, max half), and the newspaper will be easier to merge with any BBS, as each week to run on radiobazar. Today I still do not forgive. Meet me in the next section. Sincerely, Hacker Rasp, Klimus Vladimir Chief editor of "Optron" Lviv option ": 512K! (C) Hacker Rashpilasshirit memory of your computer up to 512K. Just two words of elaboration. This refinement increases the amount of memory your computer with 128 (48) to 512 kilobytes. Selection of additional pages is done either using 6.7 bits of port # 7FFD (standard Pentagon'a), or with bits 0.1 ports # FDFD and # DFFD (ATM and Profi, but not I remember what port whose: (). Select mode selects the breaker switch. All refinement can be disabled by another breaker switch. Now, when I brought you up to date, can begin to rework. To realize improvements in metal "neobnodim soldering iron, wire cutters, tweezers, five meters of wires and circuit boards and company expansion. First things first will have to get somewhere 16 chips such as 41256 (domestic 565RU7 not fit - they have little other organization). Prompt, where they can be find: such mikruhi stand in 286 x PCs. Found mikruhi need to check: take out one of the RU5-x (must be removed rushki screen memory), and in its place put the investigated chip and throw it the first leg on the ground. Turn comp. If appear on the screen vertical stripes or conversely, a shortage of points, then this mikruha we will not do - will have another look. If the PC plows as before, then all in order and you can proceed to the next stage. I almost forgot, if you have a 48-second computer, then it should be changed into a 128-d, and then already in the 512-th. So mikruhi we have go further. Now you need to replace all our RU5 41,256 - RU5-e better povykusyvat without regret, and under 256-e supply socket. Replacing the chip is temporarily throw their first feet on the ground. The computer must still "Plow" in the 128-meter mode. Now on the attached chart collect all the revisions.

Signals AB_KP11 and C_TM9 taken from the board expansion, respectively, with the 1 st leg KP11 and 9 th TM9. Signal / WRFFFD taken also with the expansion card, he formed ID7 and is equal to 0 when A14 = 1, A15 = 1, A1 = 0, / WR = 0, / IORQ = 0, / M1 = 1. In addition to all vyshenarisovannogo, need to be reversed signals going to the D34.4 and D37.13, D34.6 and D37.11. The signal from D50.9 to cut and apply 1-e feet D54-D60. Properly collected scheme does not require virtually any configuration, so if something did not work, then search for "snot", the cliffs, and errors in assembly. Well, if everything was fine, the memory can be testanut Program Ram Doctor Sergei Tyatina (mode Pentagon). In conclusion, it was not me the first and hopefully not the last one who tried to expand the memory "of Lviv option." It would be nice if the authors responded to other options for expansion - maybe their approach will be in anything better than mine. All valuable solutions if they wish their authors would be published in "Optocouplers! In addition, there are plenty of all sorts of improvements, "Lvov option" have not reached a wide range of sinkleristov. Hey! Zhelezyachniki! Share with the people of the fruits of their labors! If suddenly you have any questions and / or problems with expansion, you can call me than I can - help. Phone in Lviv: (0322) 67-60-45. For today I have it. See you in January! Sincerely, Hacker Rasp, Klimus Vladimir Super Laser Squad (C) Paul Vysotsky / Gendalf, 1997e to us, but following the old and good tradition of other publications, we still decided to address this subject. Most likely article of this type yet appear in the "Optocouplers", if nothing to write about. That before the game, which will be discussed today, we must give some explanation. All (Or nearly all) had heard about the game Laser Squad. Too many played. For some of They Laser Squad has become almost family. ;) Namely, these include programmers from Pavlograd, which not only added to the name of the game a modest word "Super", but created almost a new game, improved and, so to speak, renewed. In general, the number of different parodies Laser Squad is one of the first places. In First of all it dozens of recycled scripts created with the help of special editors, and other available funds of dubious origin. But they were the old rules, old parameters, it was not a new weapon (Usually, almost always). The only that change, so it outlines the location of buildings and doors. There were, Of course, not bad, balanced levels, but they were few. In addition, Laser Squad ideas have been used in several other games, "STEP", judging by all, intended to develop the principles of the game in his unfortunately failed Special Forces. In the Super Laser Squad is seven (the sacred number) to truly new levels. Each of them has its own interesting features and no less interesting puzzles. Also a lot of new weapons and more not bad jokes. On the other hand, fixed many bugs, and, most most importantly, fix Manual artificial intelligence. I will not list the corrected bugs - fan Platoon find them myself (just for him, as the authors write, made a game for He wrote this article. Because here and there its rules and a no instructions - I I hope that they (rules), everyone already knows). Not all bugs fixed. For example in the first level (and only him!) corpses sometimes privraschayutsya in furniture - sadly familiar to many special effect. Kstati in Spectrofon'e # 9 describes almost all glitches Laser Squad, including various defects on the rules of the game. Without a doubt, the authors of Super Laser Squad read this article and something noted. Added new features to manage - That is, new menu items most often associated with the topical features of the script. For example, throwing things where there is some kind of furniture, you can then choose to hide it or not. Hidden object will not be visible on the map because of this the furniture, and the ignorant can raise it only by accident. True, it is possible that to enhance the computer's artificial intelligence detachment was given the opportunity to see and such items, and then pick them successfully. Appeared interesting programming features a database using special means (at some levels). Fighters can also use different machines, climbed into them. Although "different machines" voobscheto reduced to two: drills and cutters. Many of the new sprites on the map - each level, they are different: glass, vines, palms, "Disclosure" walls, puddles (submitted as the sea, but they are so easy to navigate wade ...), fire, shovels, etc. Some were doors about three species. And now you can go directly to the levels. Actually fully describe their is not necessary - to each level there is little unreadable (scrolling text box up) user manual, which You can read while listening to a borrowed different parts of the music (by the way, pointed out this flaw - they say they have a Pavlovgrad musicians afternoon with fire you will not find). Level 1: Mafia Mafia-style fighting in a huge villa and that the villa is not similar. Villa, apparently belongs to the scientist mafia ("Learned mafiozy" - a very strange combination), who did not feel at home. A curious detail: among the team attacking not the least is Stinger Assassin (Hired Stinger). Let me remind you that long ago the notorious Hacker Stinger made one of the first disk version of Laser Squad. Perhaps this is just a coincidence, but I have not quite believe it;). The aim of the game is to destroy this of the mafia - just like in Italian films. The villa has secret passages - then There are some walls you can open the same way As the door. But the map they do not differ from the rest. In practice, they have to find at random. The atmosphere is warming the two plastic bombs planted at the villa. They like it promised in the instructions, exploded with a bang after 6 rounds. People are, of course, smeknut that does not necessarily they explode in vain. Much more comfortable in the first game to notice the epicenter of the explosion, and Next time they pick up and calmly used for the purpose: to undermine the infamous mobsters. Incidentally, such a bomb can be the success of "nest" in the wall - the kind will be stunning. There are two interesting features. Living water and laser. The first treats a fighter, but does not restores protection - that is, practically little helps. The laser has only one charge, the battery is to it is decent, but almost always hope and believe that he will completely destroy the that substance, which gets (except Sterner'ov who have pretty strong defense. Level 2: Blue Planet At this time, Laser Squad somehow nepostezhimym way gets in the future (22 .. year). Destruction of the main database of goal, of course, is global, but in my opinion, such an approach is a little easier the game. But if the unclear situation with space-time can still be how to explain, but the use of toilets as teleports ... Apparent presence no lack of imagination;). They work these toilets also interesting. Move the fighter not to any point on the map as it was announced in a statement, and in another bowl, which is chosen almost by chance. This interesting system can be disabled by inserting a database of a special drive in the same way to include backward. In general, because of these ill teleport level I do not very much. What interest: ten moves you take the enemy in the ring, but he picked up and disappeared down the toilet: (. Level 3: Rescue Rangers Nothing disturbed the quiet sleep forest filled with fresh morning mist. Sun slowly bore down on the virgin forest, awakening different livestock and illuminating dead swamp rats. Wade through the bush, spitting and cursing in his strange language, unshaven old man. His name was just a resident of Forest and in his hands he carried a taken just in case a rusty edge. He went around their modest farm, which bred rats and mucous toads: everywhere could see the huge egg from which they hatch. Suddenly on the road in front of him appeared shabby old man - Dr. Nimnul with something metal in his hands. Resident had no choice as a "whistle" trained rats, and stand up for anyone not desired generator ... Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers. That's understandable. But where Dr. Nimnul that a couple of times almost Pryshyb rescuers? AND yet. Despite the apparent weakness of the opponents, the rescuers will have to difficult. Doors leading to the generator, can penetrate bomb, bazooka, and the swamp rat (the latter statement is not documented, and can not fail to excite the imagination - at once remember the steel rat Harry Harrison ...) Level 4: The Aliens Ancient, but not very castle, the rebels alieny conditionally flying robots - a level in general, interesting and quite mysterious. For example, in a written statement that alieny can create new robots, and therefore you should use something found outside the castle. First, playing the Alien, I have not found the opportunity to create something new. Secondly, outside the castle indeed there are interesting things, and namely - a shovel. But neither raise nor even use them, I could not. And what is the funny? Maybe someone else will answer this question. Center of the castle, where alieny on the idea, and should rivet improvised, where stand in tubs four suspicious palms, you can block by inserting one of the monitors magnetic disk, and the same method to unlock. Blocking is the appearance in four narrow corridors of some pillars. In this connection, there is a great opportunity to kill the scattered enemies, just While playing with automatic lock (By the way, where is she?). Level 5: Amazones The aim at this level is satisfied tidbit: to destroy a dozen of the fair sex, for some reason call themselves Amazons. Among both sides there are boys, and bums, and queens, and girls (Especially the last lot). The strongest of them - the Queen. Kill it almost impossible, but it is not necessary. Much It is easier to make friends;). Weapon here is quite interesting: the onion and sickle to the vine, which grows on all over the map. There are also boats that are pretty quick swim in the puddles, but practice their use quite inconvenient. But still - some no diversity. Map is also noteworthy. Several bezdvernyh structures, many vines and the sea. But nevertheless very interesting to play. Vykashivaya vine and traveling on the map You can accidentally stumble upon the enemy with all the ensuing consequences. As I read in one of many messages from the authors of this game to the users, this level like them (the authors) the most. But I would not say so. Level 6: Coal Corp Coal Corporation. Level, strongly reminiscent of the old Rescue from the Mines. But no such bezynteresny. For example, clearly podogrevaet interest eruption, which begins after 6 rounds (or tour). The goal, however, a few commonplace: to destroy the ten test analyzers (podumaesh. ..). Three soldiers attacking squad poyavlyayutya behind enemy lines, but it does little. There More and drills that bore almost nothing (in any case, I drilled only a very thin walls). But their convenient to use as a solid (but not ideal) body armor. Level 7: Biowar Very interesting level. It already attacking will help vile rat. KSAT, the best and nice to them, is speed. Rat catches and peregonet and then come back and neck peregryzet soldatuneudachniku. Need to protect their leaders, who already have good arms, but little protection. At the expense of weapons that level at all went the furthest. Appeared flamethrower and biomet. Flamethrower - a very powerful weapon, especially when dealing with biomass. This biomass, from the outset are spread across field, has a very nice feature to quickly proliferate. That's it shoot biomet. On the map you will notice four red cross. Getting up on them you can refill energy, but the protection is not renewed. There are also several initially closed hatches, which can attempt to discover use the key from the computer. But it is not so sure. To do this, you can use a flamethrower:). Again, the action takes place at the villa. But events significantly exacerbated by a biological attack. All these levels have one thing in common: they are fairly balanced, for In order not to annoy the very first day (Night, morning, evening ?..). In one of the following numbers you can find something about new weapons in the Super Laser Squad'e, and not just about him. For example, the location _vseh_ back doors. In addition, this description, as has been said, not only the first but not the last. In the future I, Gendalf, mean please you many more such works. Sincerely, Paul Vysotsky. Night shift (C) Stephen King Scored Infarhyh distant sections of the basement somewhere in the northeastern part of it. Behind and went Ippeston Broach. They dragged a hose over a of the most powerful water cannons, which was one more advantage. Attachment to had a crane, with which it was possible to regulate the pressure of the jet, and even completely override pressure. - We have arrived. Here it is. - He stopped, finally, the Hall, showing on the floor. It was a great and seemingly quite heavy wooden hatch closed the course in dungeon. In the heart of it was let into a massive metal ring. - Hey, Warwick! Warwick! - Called Hall chief. - Come here a minute. Warwick is just to show at the moment because of the nearest corner. Seeing a group of people huddled around the Hall, and carefully looked at something at his feet; he, with his constant nasty uhmylochkoy, sympathetically asked: - What happened to the student? Lace razvyazalsya? Anybody but him, however, was not to laughter. - Look - Hall kicked the door - entrance to the lower basement ... - So what? What the hell do you not work? Now, it seems, does not break time! - An explosion of Warwick. - There's your rat, calmly replied Hall. - They breed there are thousands! May be hundreds of thousands, and someday, may will soon begin to Select is selected in the city, carrying a terrible epidemic! And to you, I see no no work! We Viskonski seen here ogromhuyu even a bat the size of the average cat! They began to approach other people, attracted by the loud voice Hall. They silently gathered around a grim and then glancing at the door, then taken aback at Warwick. - I really do not care! - minute off his stupor, he raised Suddenly a voice. - I hired you to clean the basement, but not for something you would do me here ... - Yes, it really was so - snapped Hall. - But first we had, As far as I remember, thirty-six people and now there are not more than twenty. Administration of the plant will have a good shell out compensation for those sixteen, you, Warwick, as a senior is not saved. On the head, I think you for it not pat. - That lucky person! - Gogotnul some one from the crowd, which has a ring of standing around them. Warwick, mouth open in amazement, silently looked at the Hall ... - Do not expect this from you, the student is not waiting ... You turned out to be dangerous and smarter than I thought - with a tinge of respect said Warwick. But do you really think that I'm really interested in how many rats down there? If you think so, you're wrong. To me it is absolutely care. - Oh, indifferent?! - Exploded Hall. - Well, listen, you bastard, I'll tell you now such that for sure you will have no care! Yesterday I was in the library of the City Hall and found out there's something interesting. I specifically sought ordinance relating to the plant. One of the They dated from 1911 year, but valid today, and it seemed to me particularly interesting. Do you know what it says, Warwick? Warwick's eyes were narrowed with undisguised hatred, and look - cold as ice. - You're fired, a student. You can be free. - So, - continued calmly Hall as if he had heard nothing - in this Resolution said the criminal responsibility of the plant, which led to the appearance of the plant parasites Number of exceeding the permissible limits of health. Do you understand, Warwick? Repeat spell, there it was about P-A-P-A-W-I-T-A-X. Under the parasites were meant animals that carry dangerous infectious diseases. They were even specifically listed there: Simple and bats, skunks, Not registered stray dogs and rats. Rats - especially. Rats, Mr Warwick, mentioned in two fourteen pages of this ruling again! And now imagine only moment that will start when I came out here up, heading straight to the mayor of the city and in color sign for him all that happens down here, in the basement ... Hall paused for a moment, enjoying the skewed view of people hate Warwick. - I think once I'll let you know about this mayor, the plant will be here, though, immediately stopped to find out why punish and complete extermination of every single rat. And thou, Warwick, in the case of ludshe crackle departure on the street no later than this Saturday. I can already hear what the words say you your boss before you go knee in the ass. So that, Warwick, will You dobivatsya temporary unemployment benefits. YOU, Warwick, and not me. In spite powerless hands clenched Warwick fists. Closing his eyes, he noisily exhaled, thinking to himself: "That's how I got into trouble, and yet he felt that It is high time it was thrown out from the factory this tramp under any pretext! "opened his eyes, he saw a hatch in the second a basement level and on his face reappeared his eternal smile, talking about that he finally came to his senses. - Okay, a student. I believe that I was joking. You're not fired. - You also are not as dumb as I thought - Praised his Hall. Defeated Warwick have only quietly swallow the last thrust Hall. He just as though gratefully nodded with all that the same tense and nervous grimassoy, dolzhenstvovavshey mean an ironic smile. - You are so resourceful and brave Hall. Do not go down if you down and see whether own eyes what is happening there? Take it with you and Viskonski. - Not me! - Screamed in terror Viskonski. - Not me! I. .. I ... - "I ..." - fiercely flashing eyes, barked at him Warwick. Viskonski immediately shut up. - Well, I agree - cheerfully said Hall. - We need three good strong lantern. I think I saw an entire shelf just such shestibatareechnyh, in the main office premises. Is not it true, Warwick. - You probably will need helpers - Warwick replied evasively. - Can you pick them up himself. - I choose you, Warwick - calmly and politely, "said Hall, gazing him straight in the eye. - In the end, should also be provided and the administration, do you think? .. What are you so pale, Warwick? Are you afraid of these lousy rat? Maybe they were not too a lot. Or no ... Someone (judging by his voice - Ippeston) rather gogotnul. Warwick gloomily surveyed the dense round about him, a crowd of people. Each of them grimly looked down at his feet. - Broach - he said at last fallen voice - ascend to the office and brought in three lantern, which says Hall. - Why do I have to pull into it? - Viskonski moaned, gazing longingly at the Hall. - You know, I ... - It's not me you sucked, - said Hall and looked darkly at Warwick, which Met this view no less grim, but long time did not take his eyes away. To be continued ... Advertisement Gentlemen, coders and hackers, your attention proposed an improved version popular monitor STS 4.3 - STS 4.32AL! STS 4.32AL monitor is designed for those who loves pokodit "in assembly. Except changes that are in the STS 4.31 and generally included in the STS 4.32AL, features are as follows: - Support for better labels on looking for is an assembler ALASM. (Specially "Customized" version ALASM 3.8d included software package); - Modifying the function of the output folder of your drive. (Catalog displayed in full, separated functions Catalogue and Load / Save file); - A special pointer marks "breakpoint" for the function Trace; - Use only one page Memory (!!!); - Fixed noticed the author of "native" glitches STS 4.3. More detailed information can be found in help'e to STS 4.31. I have also nearly completed work on a new version of this monitor, otlicheem which will use Virtual ROM, and additional video page (Virtual ROM - it's inclusion in place of ROM pages RAM). But since these "freaks" are not standardized and are meaningful only for Memory capacity of computers with more than 128K, in order to avoid misunderstandings The figures in version until raspostranyatsya will not. I would like to know your suggestions for standardization. A detailed description of Virtual ROM can be found in help'e on STS 4.31. Also we are working on STS 4.31 firmware in ROM (There are already "working" version, you can stop any program's button NMI, view and about 65% program (for now) continue to work after stop).
