                 Interview:

  Disabler / Disabler Production Laboratory


                               First Day

It is unclear for what reasons, but
Paradox'99 I did not succeed
communicate with the most active coder City
Rostov-on-Don. Possibly during
of the party Disabler'u just was not
to talk. As for this year,
The situation has changed little, the group
orgkomitetta noticeably thinned. Among
retired and was Disabler. Now
I had the opportunity to communicate with
them in a calm atmosphere, which I
did.

K> I have a special question to you is ripe. I

   repeatedly heard from Rostovites you

   is the most advanced

   spektrumistom in Rostov-on-Don. Say

   please, if this is really the case?
D> It's not quite true. Many projects, but

   make them something not very desirable.
K> And what is the reason?
D> Well, for example: Suppose I write

   same-most UltraSonic. When he wrote,

   all were shouting that it would be cool, all

   it was needed. Posted by - everything anyone

   anyone, he is no longer needed. Sex with him

   itself, it is yours. And so here with each

   project. And on alternative bare lot

   nothing to build. Write for the sake of

   fun? Too tired.
K> And if you were treated to beer,

   invited to sit in the pub,

   celebrate the release of the new program. How would

   you reacted to this?
D> If someone would put the beer, it

   quite another matter. I do any program

   would write in a day.
K> Very good! Hence, to write about? Where

   send applications and beer? (All laugh).

K> Well, enough is enough. Tell me, over what

   projects are you working on now?

   Are you really going to do?
D> Honestly, a lot of projects. Now

   working on a logical type of toy

   Tetris, but more interesting - an amateur.

   And do Commander with two panels

   with support for all systems.
K> The demo version is already out?
D> The demo version is, but it is in the source code.

   They must also collect and interest

   that people simply do not. Was-to

   interest, it would be all.
K> As I recall, the last Rostov

   work - it's congratulations to the new

   2000.
D> Rostov All programs in the past

   three years - my, but DonNews. C of

   moment when Spectrum'isty started

   scatter, the name Omera Hackers Group

   (Hereinafter referred to OHG) is left to me.

At this point, to my surprise at
conversation intervened Snake.

S> The biggest and most recent project

   was LEPREKON and it was created by the general

   efforts.
D> I can give a simple example - Mario

   Islands. I said: paint levels. All

   shouted: "We draw, we will

   Draw! "So what? anyone

   drew at least one level?

S> Have you forgotten how you personally to all

   stated that Mario will not.
D> This is from the fact that there is no graphics, music and

   levels are not.

After such a declaration intervened Flying
Skull and made a small correction:

F> But it's you wonder, the music is!
D> Well, let's say, the music is, but I do not

   feel!
F> And how much do you need music?
D> I mean, there will be levels of seventy

   but again, these levels should be someone

   draw.
F> seventy Mouzon You Need?
D> None. Mouzon there will be about ten

   total.
F> Mouzon five already have, I can tell you

   say with complete confidence.
D> And how the same foes?
F> And where might I have?
S> The only thing that is missing in Mario,

   it's enemies. And for whom does it cost?
D> This is for you.
S> Okay ... Do you even more for the enemies

   undertook.
D> I kodit so that would be a black-box

   running?
S> To begin with, and without nakodit

   sprites, and then only to insert

   sprites and all.
D> To insert sprites need only

   week.
S> So they must nakodit else, here

   write and you will be sprites.
D> I mean, would the same situation as

   with UltraSonic'om. As I write, all of it

   must, as soon as everything is ready, all at once

   turn away. That is, I'm an outsider

   people.
K> Well, well, well! Enough already swear.

   When was the last time you included your

   Spectrum?
D> this morning.
K> It's good that it did?

   Probably copied files, right?
D> Uploaded source toys, looked

   all of it completely.
K> The source code for a game?
D> to that I was finishing,

   variation of Tetris.
K> And what do you understand? What have you decided to it

   to do next? Or decided to quit this

   venture?
D> None. There is another problem. I

   the drive works the first 15 minutes, and

   then operates on a CD-ROM drive, then

   have just read.
K> It turns out that the work on this

   Technology is simply impossible?
D> Yes, so many things now

   inhibited because of this problem. That is

   I turn on the computer that managed to make

   15 minutes, then did. A further look

   demos, playing with toys.
K> I heard that you are no longer yavlyaeshsya

   member of the OHG. For some reason, this

   happened?
D> The reason for this one. In OHG no people

   are willing to work at a furious

   pace, and the brakes go, I can not,

   not used. I once specifically

   calculated that in a month I write about

   two large programs. And people from OHG

   once a year doing something and then, if

   they will find inspiration in my face.
K> As far as I understand, if you do them

   customized, then they start something

   do?

Someone wanted to intervene and express their
discontent:

?> No he did not propose!
K> Well, what you wound up again, let

   the person said.
D> It says Disabler.
K> Tell me please, as it is now

   called your new group? Or you

   Now just Disabler?
D> Well, it's not quite true. I still

   Disabler, but the organization is and

   It 's called Disabler Production

   Laboratory.
K> What is your opinion about Paradoxe'2000?
D> As usual, forced me to work with

   video. They c it is always the problem

   were.
K> How does it - are forced to work?
D> This is the sense that the Spectrum with

   video projector a little conflict.
K> And where do you? Are you zhelezyachnik?
D> Yes, I zhelezyachnik. I have been on the Speccy

   three upgrades.
K> It is interesting to find out more details, tell me?
D> In short, at the very bottom korvetovskogo

   housing is "Taganrog" (another

   variety of local Spectrum).

   Top is the controller "Taganrog" in

   He stuck muzykalki fee, but

   muzykalki not, but there is hanging on

   wires ROM. It stuck: two

   chip cache of 16KB, ROM 1982,

   1991, NeOs and Quick Comander.
K> And how obrozom they switch?
D> All they switch software

   way. At this point, all

   switches from the cache, no

   time to flash. It sits something

   like PC'eshny Bios, where I

   fully programmable operation

   PC: choose a ROM scan,

   many rows, how many frames, etc.
K> A NeOs where to get?
D> NeOs merged with fido.
K> You probably do not suit your

   upgrade? Need something else?
D> next upgrade - it is not so simple.

   Before you start soldering, I

   think: Fire car, will score on the Spectrum,

   will not burn - I will continue to upgrade.
K> ???!!! It turns out, if your computer

   burns, the new work Disabler'a

   No one else sees?
D> No! Well, why not? Week, for example, I

   endure without the ZX Spectrum. Then climb

   into it with a soldering iron, he again

   earn and once again I'll start with all

   beginning ...
K> In this case, I wish you further

   success on the platform ZX!
