Letters - On the status of Speccy in the Stavropol.

_


               Letters!
_


VTS'99


    Finally we found our neighbors with
Stavropol! And here's the answer to my letter
(... In the footsteps of advertising in Deja Vu ...).



              Victor, hello!


    I received your letter, without delay
answer. I do not know how we can be helpful to each other, 
except that the exchange of information. I'm - svapper and 
knowledge of assembler, I only have enough out to write a code 
loader to the game and there ready to insert the procedure

type of display or screen-saver.


    And also I have favorite pastime - Russification toys 
(already typed the whole disk) and the remake of games with 
shipping tape in fully disc, ie with shipping

on the disc. I am on this occasion even wrote
a small note in DEJA VU, shared,
so to speak, at the request of experience PAGAN-a.
Esteem in the seventh room.


    On the status of Speccy in Stavropol is nothing good I can 
not say. Y I was a few people

Friends spektrumistov, three - zhelezyachniki. And all three 
have thrown the case: one has to trade in a stall, and two

Others have gone to repair "Pisek," say, it's much more 
profitable. These "pussy" already all around flooded, and former

spektrumisty-users, almost all of
those who are richer, with these shits roundnose "pussy" to 
play ... And I I say, not because I have no money

to "stump" (though what to hide, no,
of course) and compares the known animals in the fable "The Fox 
and the Grapes." I have the opportunity to communicate with the 
PC, but no desire to ... What it can do? In the toy play, and 
only! And to create something - FIGS you!



    In general, the deplorable state of affairs :-(


    A little bit about your computer:
"SCORPION-ZS256" + 1FDD3.5 "+ 2FDD5.25"
+ AY + Color TV + printer CM6337 ​​+
profPZU 256kb. Might once (it should be the same
write "once", although this was only
Six months ago!) to put on your
"Scorpio" hard disk and GMX, so now about
This should not even dream :-( (



    And you do not collects doing? I have a lot of magazines 
from different cities have. And do not know why

ODYSSEY ceased publication?


    Well, would desire to communicate,
write. And the newspaper, which wrote or send. Honor ...


                               Sergey


    06/01/1999, the

     (Wednesday)



    So that people from Stavropol, if
want to chat with Sergei and raise
Spectrum in its territory, please contact him:

 355042 Stavropol
st. Dovatortsev 53/2-8
Kolesnikov, SM



    Well, I think my answer may be
also interesting (such as PCs and
etc.). In general, we now rewrite (but print each letter must 
have not worth it: not for the newspaper there)




            Hi, Sergey!


    Just in terms of sharing information, we
and can be helpful to each other! Neighbors
as in any way:) And here we really thought that
no one around ...

    But I think you have a knowledge assembly
enough. At least, if you want to become a coder, half way 
already passed.


    Although I myself, in fact, also not a coder. I 
characterize myself about how "Zhelezyachnika who can kodit", ie

accompany their zhelezyaki software.

    I have a PC KAY-256turbo/3SL (v1.4) +
+ AY + Beta turbo (2 * FDD5.25, FDD3.5) +
+ Color TV + CM6337 ​​+ kempstone mouse.
Corps - miniTower. PSU 200 watts, the domestic, but pisishnym 
size. 

 TV-ULPTSTI-61 ("Seven," Lazur-716)
lamp, a semiconductor integrated.
 Bat still left on the postings. We make
board for a slot to be normal.
 Flopovoda can be simultaneously Toko
two, therefore, must peretykat cable (yes I am
never the case and do not close). Although I
3.5 use is rare - the price of CDs bite, and 5.25 until 
satisfied, but somehow come to an end quickly;), and buy

else - nowhere, the deficit-to ....
 Will come from the premise of Nemo, will begin to fill
itself (and then the other) fee KAY-1024
Yes, and it's time to pull up the screw.


    About the Scorpion. By itself, a wheelbarrow
normal, but it was built wrong and is so tear off a little more
money. Take the hard drive. The problem can be solved very 
easily. Now there are two flash ROM (one for the Pentagon 
somewhere Ukraine, another - in KAY-1024) under

meter (1Mb) component, which is caught right in the # 3D13 
TR-DOS'e and D drive or C is RAM-disk'om. Everything else on 
the conscience is-dos'a. Similarly, PCs will ship something 
like *. trd images, and everything! and should not be SMUC'ov. 
Install the hard drive solved by replacing the parent board and 
a small (six mikruh) controller of the eighth ZX-Format'a. A

old board is not thrown (!) and sold (because not everyone 
needs a meter Kai someone is enough of an old, non-turbo,

dvuhslotnogo KAY256/2SL), may be the same
Nemo.

    And, if you polezesh disfigure
his fee soldering iron, hanging meter memory, sell it in the 
future will be much more difficult ...


    Well, about GMX generally don `t know what to say. Just out 
of nothing inflated elephant, and selling at an elephant - it is

Style ibeme HRC! ..

    About a meter memory-cm. above, and
What about the screen 640 * 200 read KrNews02.
Personally, I have not seen prog, to support this
mode, and is unlikely he will become the standard,
as nobody needs, but more so for him to also spread their money!

    Read fidoshnoe soap can be natural-PC (at work, the 
technicians have another ...), but after moving to Spec

elementary text formatted ...

    Ie conclusion: GMX not needed at all;
screw under the use-dos collected at 6 m / s;
dash-dryness and the screw is not particularly want (sitting on 
the disks, and let her sit), but if especially hunting, it is 
better to sell the fee Scorpio and buy a meter kai. Here is a

my opinion. (Yes ramdisk is possible without
Screw rulezno juzat: assembling a
drive up ....)

    You now can say: change
plates - the same PC! Not exactly. Change
board - it's just upgrade-chain on
which improved architecture.
The fundamental difference in the rate of development and
ideology. On the PC the quicker the development,
Large Live to deflate the money "their" company;
The old components considered in general
suxx'om using a typewriter
latest Pentium (while simply translate the data from
microcontroller Claudia (!) in the microcontroller printer (!) 
and video controller. Here even 10kHz enough ;-)). 

    Yet even the old boards can be
continue to solve the same problems that
they decided ransche! The new board - it
new opportunities and she does not need to,
who satisfy the old ones!

    We return to the Spectrum. Rate of appearance of new cards 
have a normal. Gamers will satisfy even the old Leningrad, was 
killed, and the price he has so much lower than the last Kaya 
... 

    And a new board has Nemo
almost the same cost as the
old and older - getting cheaper, becoming
limited funds available to clients.


    Vuuuf now take rest and not run on PCs begin:-E.


    Collecting magazines I do not
do, though reading them (and leave
just in case) I love. Only now
I discs fiasco - were over.

    Odysseus has disappeared along with the Accept corp.
no visible signs of struggle ... I used to
little correspondence with MOT'om, but
then he did not answer me, I waited, he wrote, again no answer. 
Then I wrote the Phantom Lord'u. Again - zero. I'm here 
recently stumbled on their trader-distributor-editor A-soft'a 
today sent a letter to him. Time will - we'll see. While 
nothing is known, Maxx said that they were not there (in 
summer), even at Consul party in Sochi.



    What about newspapers. I will make a slight delay, because 
coming soon KrNews08 and I'll send the whole bunch.




    Now about the HRC MUST DIE FOREVER!



    Damn, that's the point that they
Toko play and you can! We've got a couple
ardent (earlier) pisyuchnikov (in techies) was cut to game and 
do not need them more complex, they are suitable to him, only to

exchange rate type. I for example, generally
not in game play, and coursework in
Spectrum did. Of course, use dos not
knows what would be desirable, well, duck
Handles can finish (GOST 2.105-95
para 3.5), while no software. What else
might PCs? Envelopes, etc. own
graphics formats, texts, etc.? Good
them around enough so as not to drag them
More and home. Nor would these formats, if it were not for the 
PC ... 

    More than anything no one should be: "Stay
himself to play, not think about anything, just
their blood out with it - just like narik some. Whats the 
development - no one needs, and the psychological pressure will 
not let you even want to something to do. And what do theirs 
hackers (the elite)? Basically sit in Fido, yes torture 
assembler, knowing that the most what they will do - it's deme, 
and can evaluate only a narrow circle of the same hacker. It's 
just a humiliation for the present elite cyber-rot of

inaction.

    And it's a vicious circle, and he started
only for the money! In all that is said and done, between the 
lines rustle American greenback. 

    We can just be proud that
attack us capitalism could not
_nastoyaschee_ ruin the development of cyberspace, how did it 
all world. Indeed, throughout the world due to production

money is above all a crisis
capitalism ... In particular, the PCs are
in a deadlock, where they were driven by force.
And print out, nobody will ...
Spectrum dwelt not only on poverty in Russia (and thank 
goodness), but probably from the Russian nature and fingerprint 
socialist ideology, not allowed the raise bucks above these 
values. 

    Once we have developing users who do not otupevayuschie of 
game, only we have any only their intellectual (and

non-financial) abilities can reach the top, to become the 
manufacturer and work for the benefit and joy to people, rather 
than for money. Money stand in the background, being a tool and 
not an end in itself! We have complete freedom, we there are 
real network rather than the proverbial Internet. The Internet 
is good, if you something has to be - it is very effective

transmission medium information (but expensive ...), like the 
ether for radio waves. But by itself it inedible, unlike

Fido and ZXNet.

    And it DOES NOT MATTER specifications. This is all to 
deceive, the dust in eyes, a beautiful wrap all import

goods. And here's what's inside, the essence - it is
the main thing. Buying a PC, you pay for
this wrapper for razleklamirovannye labels on the long-existing 
things, but inside something for nothing and no! Buying a 
Spectrum pay for the iron (silicon, copper, ...), and

is free, only putting their efforts, and using the computer as 
an effective instrument to develop himself (self-awareness, 
self-education, self-...), and then move forward and the whole 
platform. In the end, the computer on which you can only play 
and print texts - not the computer, and Dandy, crossed with the 
printer. 


    I also have the opportunity to communicate with PCs, but 
there is nothing good I can not saw. I even wanted to build 
gradually his three-ruble note, exclusively for yuzaniya

P-CAD'a, but now we have people
which makes printed circuit boards, and which
their own P-CAD'it.

    In general, any srednenataskany
spektrumist with the HRC to deal steeper than any
pisyuchnika. Here Chip on 386dx-4mb put
vyndouz, so they were all in shock (although
it suks and weight of writing, therefore, was killed).
No, it should see their faces "zhelezyachnikov" traders to the 
question "Do you is passive rat "(in the Amiga) with subsequent 
loading (like a wall peas), differs from the passive Bat 
active, and the answer that there are mice two (!) types of 
connectors - 9pin under COM and 6din a PS / 2 ... And with some 
clever kind they load pisyuchnih lamer (confusing

nanoseconds with pin) ... You can go on forever, but you and 
myself all seen.


    Become as much a shame that with us
done ...

    But the result is obvious: on the development of the HRC
replaced by cramming ready axioms of
Price and left literature. On the Spectrum
same study a general, but if you want, then
deeper principles of computer systems. And it is certain that
average Spektrumist an order of magnitude better educated than 
the average pisyuchnika, with two to three orders of magnitude 
lower technical characteristics of companies, but

supplementing them with his knowledge and sposobnostyami. Ie He 
spends no upgrade so many cars, how their brains ;-).



    Well, in the end I want to say about the status of Speccy 
in the Stavropol. It Of course, you need to improve. Do it

someone from the outside will not. ZX fate in the hands of
those of recent users that you have
left (they are, they need only to find). You're not supposed to 
be one, and Inforkomo-Zonovskaya trade policy

mail is fundamentally wrong! Need to organize people on the 
ground, Stavropol. The only problem - to find the remaining

fans, and then it will gradually
improve. You, for example, once you have already experience 
svappera, you can become a trader (software). Besides 
radiotolchok - the ruleznoe place for weekly Spectrum crowd. 
You can still try to give some ad-nt in local newspapers. The 
second important point is iron. Enough for a start even

one zhelezyachnika. Immediately have the opportunity to start 
collecting KAY'i - see ZF7. Well, all components will have to 
repair. If you there is a good telephone line,

You can (should) start a ZXNet. Modem (vikomm) easier as dirt. 
However, for BBS desirable XTR-modem, but you can do vikommom 
with gadgets. 


    Vuuuf, in the way I sold only on the
one mention of HRC ;-). We must, perhaps, the answer to the 
newspaper to give;). 

Okay, bye! 73!
