Voyager: How it all began?

Steel Drugon: I will first explain how it all began
I have. I, in any year, I do not remember, bought by a fluke 
Spectrum 48 with the drive. I've only had one drive with toys, 
I in them "Dolby" about two weeks and then I wanted to anything 
your write. Suffered in Basic about a year, well then he began 
to write in assembler, but in principle, to do something I was 
really only ... ninety-six, or even with the ninety- seventh.


V: What was the first?

SD: In principle, the first thing I issued, in the sense of
brought to the end ... I do not remember ... perhaps it was
Serge gift for ...

Mitchell: And before you made the system program
to maintain the zero track?

SD: Well, it's all garbage! So maybe that's the case.
This was the ninety-sixth year, and that I am a friend
sent, and the like, I wrote a ST to DMM converter in 
ninety-seven, I think, year. I There are still Mouzon, which I 
converted, now put ...


V: Well, there were no LASER SOFT?


SD: Yes, the H-H-n-em ... LASER SOFT, we can say more
was not, but I signed so with the ninety-fourth year, there 
were some downloaders in BASIC, but it's all gone ...


V: While you were one under this sign?

SD: I was ... one, and then I had a 128K to
top ninety-six, and I have something to do was to begin. By 
this time, I MR.Z 'and "prevail upon" I'm not exactly his 
"prevail upon" and he "prevail upon" their ancestors. He bought 
the first 48 with a ribbon, even from him Keyboard here 
somewhere lying around. And then he bought currently 128 
ZX-NEXT, which he still stands, on which he works. It is 
interesting that the "muse", he began to write even when your 
computer from He was not. He's sitting, I somehow their

engaged, and he did the music. And so it went to
summer of ninety-seven, has not yet arrived. (Mitchell'u)
When did you arrive?


M: I came to spring and summer we met. I
shorter, watered his garden ... wore a bucket, and here comes 
Spider said ... 

SD: He told me that there's some dude from
Norilsk arrived, I shook him, shook, they say, introduce,
and, behold, in the end, Spider anything from me was
it should, but I said no, first let's go go down to this ... 
spektrumistu, and then I'll do anything. 

Appears MR.Z. ..


MR.Z: Hi, what are doing?

SD: Interviews give ...

MZ: Where the interview?

V: In the Tula magazine ...

MZ: A. .. it's cool.

V: Okay, continue ...

M: Month, I was Dimona (SD) sign, to me, he periodically gave 
Mouzon, said that it is Z wrote ... 

SD: I gave him a collection Z'ovskih Mouzon, and he
sent them off somewhere, do not ask me, nor MR.
Z. The fruits of his work we are reaping so far;)


M: And all because of good intentions, I wanted to glorify him. 
:) Worth mentioning that thanks to my ... 

SD: Basically, yes. We had contacts all
thanks to him.

V: That is the coordinator.

SD: He just showed us that we can completely
safely in touch with people through email, etc. and
etc.

M: Yes, I have shown. :) So I met Tula ...

SD: We already knew from MAGIC'ov someone ...

M: And who knows ...

SD: Basically, from that moment we are engaged in work in full 
force, because we had contacts. We thought that the few people 
who have something to do on the Speccy ... 

V: And how did LASER SOFT?


SD: At one moment I noticed that Mitchell
signed Rossia Soft / LS. I did not attach
value:). Then the RS in general got himself up and turned
Mitchell / LS. So that no one anywhere ... :)))


M: No, I do not agree! I Zhenya (MR.Z) always said: "You want 
to join our group?". And I said: "I do not know ...".



MZ: Who does not want to be in the group had more
people? :)


V: By the way, how did you docked with Steel Drugon'om?


MZ: So, so. That was when I was in the third
class. Once I moved here from Serpukhov in Obolensk and met 
with Steel Drugon'om. Here we are with These were friends, 
friends, and then he himself decided to buy a computer. First, 
he wanted to buy a BC ... 


SD: I did not want his BC! I wanted to buy "dvushny
pisyuk ", or rather, my father wanted me to buy it. But I 
said," pisyuk "I do not need ... 

MZ: ... and he bought himself a Spectrum has started something 
on it to do and I kind of interested in that and also decided to

afford to buy a computer. The first was a 48 with a ribbon, 
then I "zadolbalsya" the whole thing to load ... 

SD: It's All zadolbalo "...


MZ: ... and I said Dimona (SD), so he went to Moscow and bought 
me a computer. In short, I sent him ... 

SD: No I did not send! I myself went.

MZ: He is somewhere inhibited the week:) and then brought
computer without a floppy drive and without the claves, the 
drive we blocked in there, and Claudia took the old 48. She

I still hangs, all the keys are erased, I
blind work. Motor memory - rulez! :)


SD: But when I became a QWERTY relearn it
not rulez. :)


MZ: That's from that moment on I began to write music ...

V: And how about you write all tracks?

MZ: Well, actually, I did not think ... But ... hmm ... 50-60 
there. 

V: Do you remember his first Mouzon in the finished work?

MZ: The work is very little there. "ST to DMM" was our
the first work in it and sounded my first Mouzon, who was named 
... 

SD: ... it is not clear how ... :)


M: And my first Mouzon was a COW-DEMO.


MZ: But, remember! ROVERUN called!

V: Where is your music is most often used?

MZ: In the journals of other groups: in DEJA VU, now here
in the VOYAGER :))), in introshkah DR.DASH 'a, ZX-REVIEW ...

(There is another hit a Mitchell'a because
he sent these Mouzon without permission. :) Friendly
wrangle dragged on for five minutes ...)


V: In conclusion, as usual, the question about future plans.

MZ: Actually, what we do, decides to Dimon
(SD), because if he does not want to do something,
then it does not sell on. As it now
there is a desire to write a demo for FUNTOP, rather it
He sometimes appears ...

V: And what do in your thoughts?

MZ: And in his mind - the more, the best thing to do, and good 
... 

V: Narrow. From what areas?

MZ: Of demomeykerstva. Demomeykerstvo - rulez! Demomeykerstvo - 
everything! Nothing more I can not see so special. Demos, 
demos, demos ... That is for what and should sit on the 
Spectrum. 


SD: That's what I want to say ... We want to shared with
DR.DASH 'write it on a demo FUNTOP. It is possible that
we will write it, because if we do then it
do not write, then it will be bad. So I can not promise.
Now FUNTOP'e introduced competition 4K intro compo,
and so we write a 4K intro necessarily ... I will write
because of this not so much seek to be,
not so much work.

(It should discuss the technical details of the intro).

... And my% $ # @ no on the Spectrum of the normal operating 
system. About it a lot of people said but hardly anyone is 
doing something. True, I myself still did not do anything, but 
I get sometimes is desire ...


MZ: True, I had time to stop ... because
he still does not do it.

SD: This is not a fact! One - maybe, but what I do not do it - 
not a fact. I want to do is elementary and simple: to sew this 
OSes instead 128 BASIC to octalsya TR-DOS ...


(He starts up the signal number VOYAGER'a and conversation 
moved on abstract themes.) 

SD: ... I want to write a normal OSes, which will be segmented 
files, which understands the "transparent" MS-DOS'nye, 
TR-DOS'nye, CP / M'ovskie and their own discs. That it does not 
distinguish, with which it works. So that there was more or 
less normal Cmdr. And it all sewn up in the 16K

Rom. I do not know if I could it ever do
and if I do it ... Simply, there is such an idea ...

(Here MR.Z not recognize his own compositions from the signal 
number, and the conversation is interrupted again.:))) 


SD: In the conclusion, that Mitchell is not rushed to pass all 
greetings'y, I want to say hello to all our friends and all 
those with whom we will write to ... 

M: Right now, the list will fetch ... ;))


SD: He is generally necessary to make yourself a list and 
include as screen saver'a! :) 


MZ: Do you drive is not enough! :)))


SD: Selected by the way, greetings Fantom Family, why they do 
not write anything to me? 


     After that conversation was almost over,
and they all went on nature, the benefit in Obolensk this
everything is OK. Further pastime was no less
pleasant, but the interview is not applied ... :)
