   Hello, All!


   Who wrote "Dr.Mario"? Need name, location, appearance.
Perhaps the author does not know yet, but in Germany it was the 
third prog place in the competition program in 1999. " So let 
him give themselves felt, for him there is a prize of $ 50DM 
(or $ 25 may and small, but better than nothing). Lather can be 
either me or the Spectrum User Club Germany on 
sintech@online.de. 

Yours sincerely
Andreas

 Las of Flash Group presents:
 The new firmware version for KAY-1024

 Background information:


   Changes affected the RAM-disk. The new version of RAM-drive 
provides a full Software Emulation Environment Hardware 
Controller FDD: m / KR1818VG93 and real "iron" drive. 


   Let's call it so ...


            E M U L T I O R C - e and w to


   A preliminary test:
programs that are not coming from the RAM-disk, was detected.
Works like a beast!


   To understand what is at stake, list some
utilities that fine start and run from RAM-disk
both the real Mr. WG physical drive (Teac, Robotron, 5313,
etc. :)))

1. Major loaders with music (Insult, Battle Command, etc.)
2. All disk restorilki, formatilki (ADS, FUT, DCU, etc.)
3. All loaders, savers with direct control of the SH
4. Extrim Copiers (McDonald, SoftCopy, S-Copier, etc.)
5. Well, what they themselves write:)


   Nick important note: When using an emulator turbiruetsya Z80,
includes 0 scr, yuzaetsya 8 bytes from the stack. So that the 
drive mode normal / turbo with a jumper on the motherboard Kay.


   Naturally, when working with conventional device (A, B, D) 
nothing yuzaetsya not, do not click and do not cut one.


When you click  +  all the devices are> C:
(I mean the RAM-disk).
Explains:
For example, you must load the game with loaders Sergei
Skorobogatova (marks CC1991), and spouts of this
tovarischa usually only work with a floppy drive "A:
and disk> C: to run hard do not want.
Simply launch a similar product as usual from the disk> C:
and hold  +  before the download is complete.
Hooray! Earned!

No modifications KAY-1024 IS NOT REQUIRED!
Simply replace the old ROM-shku in your comp
a similar to the new firmware version!
