  Well there you go.


  About VG'shkah. I can see, no one has
nothing against the screw # 3D13. Why do
We can not in the same way to get rid of
VG93? I understand that this is impossible because
quickly. However, with electronic drive, we get rid of the 
standard equipment load, and generally, from the standard 
bearer - 5.25 floppies. Similar things are normal for any OS'i, 
in contrast from hole-dosa. Now created a bridge TRDOSany DOS, 
for example, ISDOS. 

  And, let's say in ordinary companies,
VG'shki may remain, but that gives the Axis
freedom, say in the development of any
there mini / macro / baby / laptop / notebook,
process controllers, etc. ..

  It remains an open question of clever disk protection. That 
is, it seems a good idea to think about new methods of 
copyright protection. Especially, the old have number of 
shortcomings and low reliable. In fact, the protection of 
latest products In addition to the disk protection is based on 
honesty of users and traders. 


  So, now about frikerstve. Passed such
hearing from the workers PBX that method 15'ti
pulses "redirects pay long distance
God knows who. Evidence from our
experience yet, but then do not say
I did not warn;)


   Bye! VTS/isdos/01-05-99/13: 35msk


  ps: Do not put my papers in the ninth
number, therefore you'll have to read them with
late: (



   Anything like that, I have not yet gone;)


  I immediately had already killed messagu for
OPTRON'a for a period of limitation (since it does not
hit the 9'y News), but it turns out,
last OPTRON'e considered KrNews9
and ZXHard1. Unfortunately, this OPTRON me
and could not see, and accordingly, I can not say anything 
specific, though rumored to be the accuracy of calculation text 
volume has increased significantly, and surpassed even us mere 
mortals climbing over the disk with boot'om in the teeth and

considering the amount of sectors to throw
KrNews'om articles, because the reduced
figure is slightly less (due to dumping
"Mezhfaylovyh gaps" caused by
discrete structure of the disc records
I / O devices) ...

  However, taking all the same, this number
Coupler, I did not find anything especially
Criminal ...

------ Cut ------ (old message, for KrN9)


  I'm here about OPTRON'a. In principle,
I have nothing against this newspaper does not mean, yes
and reading is not always the case. But he decided to comment 
on the review of my article in 7'om KrNews of modems for the 
"Krasnodar". 

  Firstly, it was clearly written, that this
As for the author's version terminalki MMD
and modems Vicomm / XTR. As I recall,
Lviv yuzaetsya EMS, which is likely to have provided these 
problems (in contrast to St. Petersburg MMD). 

  Second, the problem is not specific model company ("Lions", 
"Moscow" "Krasnodar "...), and schemes to enhance 128k

(But only for machines with separate fields).

  And thirdly, the need to remodel MMD, and
not complex, and more information, see
for reflection.

  Actually, I just asked Maxx
throw in the News description of the problem that we faced in 
the early days of development XTR-modems, so other less 
tormented in a similar situation.



  Um, cool was a description Intro KrN7 ... It seems no one 
noticed that the anniversary of the newspaper, but now everyone 
knows that the Maxx with Viper'om-hopeless alcoholics ;-). 

  Although the text that was pure jokes -
introduction to news about the anniversary.

  It is not clear editorial bias against this kind of drinks. I 
was like, drink beer and hard, but I took all just a joke. 


  Doubt is also a way to calculate the amount of text. I took 
it and threw all the texts on CD-turned 328 sectors = 82 KB! In 
general, the amount of lump downloadable texts in 128'uyu 
memory with frame-scroller-esteem Vadim aka Viper (because, 
under the buffer texts devoted almost 50k, and shoving

he was there to 110-120Kb of text).

  And finally, not everything was dismantled.
So, my thoughts on the 'export of technology "like no one 
noticed. But because actually it was serious.



  Although we have paid attention to even more
than the St. Petersburg ZXNews45 ;-).

  But our neighbors from the DonNews got abruptly ... ;-)


  ps: Well, mr.Linker, I instinctively sensed
something was wrong when he spoke to you about copyright ;-) 
Did you see how we blew. 

---- Cut -----
VTS'99 again ...



  This topic "mosaic", or what? .. So
do not be surprised by my reusable call;)


  Whew, all gnawing at my conscience about
veshenapisannogo against OPTRON'a ... Although
and OPTRON'a, but rather Tertius Gaudens'a. Try me, too, 
understand. Just take it, and read their same comments in his 
address, and think about his reaction ...


  Maybe, ZX-waggons, and the desired topic, but
style of presentation and evaluation druses newspapers
is correct.

  After the release of ZX-Hard01 already appeared
the first reviews (it pleases), still
negative. In principle, for the article and was written in 
order to solve their own variations on the need to new sound 
card ... 


  The most important contradiction is in competition with the 
GS. 


  If we turn to the origins of development,
a prerequisite was the need to emulate AY. Get them in single 
units as long as possible, but applied to the production ... 
So, Nemo is not intended AY in the board, they go separately, 
and it is may be lacking in this particular

time, then they dostavanie fall on the shoulders of the user 
(either results in a delay). 

  Next was to estimate the structure. The rigid logic was 
rejected immediately. Receive a minimum: K580VI53, DAC dial 
8-bit (log aprox), Z80A, 2764, 6216/6264 (K537RU10/17). Worth 
it, of course, more expensive muzykalki, even with the deficit. 
But if you increase the RAM, You can at least zaimet soundrive 
with his Z80. Ie obtained as to the development of AY, though 
not integrated into the chip. Further their research, I 
omitted, and their the result can be read in ZXHard.



  Ie not scheduled to kick GS, and
muzykalku! Although the competition with no GS
avoided.


  If a showdown with the production of iron
omit the question about the software.

  Maybe I should and should not be here to climb,
as X-TRADE produce GS, and they did
accompany the software at their own expense (so
or otherwise).

  But personally I see it the next stepping on rakes, when the 
soft sharpen under one single piece of iron. In fact already 
been TR-DOS, there were problems with memory and screw ... 
Again, twenty five. OSP could once again reminded about it, and 
indicate the need for with OS'yu and similar techniques.



          Well, so far, and all ...


  ps: Here cc999 and after, respectively, Adventurer # 9, 
appeared and infa shemka DMA sound card ... Um, just, and with 
taste. However AY emulsion can not ... 

  Although in such circumstances the appearance of OSP,
will probably not be very successful ...
