FIDO rumors - UNIQUE GROUP from Yekaterinburg wrote MEGAdemo; IBM vs Speccy.

(C) 1996 SOI.



            FIDO rumors ...

I open a new section where I will acquaint you with rumors 
obtained through FIDONET.Po reason that we Nobody do not 
permit, we will not write from whom and to whom. Only if a 
description of something ... Please note: Spelling and style 
backed up! 



it all: how the emulator Shalaeva 05.02
thoughts run? hangs after the intro - PUSH
do not press button ...

AVT> The conclusion: buy the Spectrum and
Wash emulyatory.Pomnite - Pentagon is
the best!

KrakOut, Total Eclipse, Bomb Jack-1. For
those who did not understand what I say this,
I explain it-Loader which loads the image outside the box, in 
particular familiarity, I was wondering could someone


    versed with the tricks, and if there is prog which allows 
to make a load (firmachi'm not handle

If one thread, I would have tossed it. PS: A

how?;) (otmylte netmeylom) You take
ZX-Review in 1995 and are looking for. There are heaps of 
examples. ^^^^^^^^ - There in the river on the radio market. 

AVT> Yes, the effect is of course krasivyy.No guys
for pampering with this effect is a real need CASSETTE MACHINE.



      All Subj: STS 4.2 + ALASM!!!!

      That's what I found in the same new

      Already have STS 4.4? But it still
no:)

AVT> In Lugansk have everything ...

    Except STS4.4.


      And if there are in the nature of emulators sabzh? This, 
of course, not an emulator Atari, but only emulator of its 
sound: 

      YM2149 Soundchip Emulator v3.02


     YM2149F is nothing like
AY-3-8910. Gee. :-)

AVT> Divorced emulators ...


               Hello All!
 So
in my adres DO NOT come with a little pisem questions! And I 
pozvanil pebyatam kotorye write on spektrume to gather 
information and otvetit questions. Pervym responded to 
Ivan-Soft and wrote unto me tekstovy Fail!



   ---==== Here is the Fail ====--

         Hello to all the people!

  Ivan Soft wrote you out of a great three
stars of the award-Urals city
Ekaterinburg! That's called me yesterday
Korotkov Eldar, and said that he crawled a letter from Spectrum 
fellow with requests to tell the honest people of our grief for 
programmers and other fireman submarines!



  Well, here I am to you now and tell all!


  Well ... In our city very much
groups, or rather like the whole 2: The first (in
whose work I have) changed the name to nedavno UNIQUE GROUP. 
Our group is relatively very young, right before we worked for 
a long time in isolation. We There are 5 members:



  'SINGLE'-Bartos, Andrew steepest
peremuzhivatel and lomalschik. His first
works were demo 'LITTLE BOY' and SUPER
MONITOR for PROFI. He now works
over 2 demami, one will be the coolest on the
PROFI in CP / M.


  'BRAIN'-Bolshunov Sergey. This is the second
our associates. He is our president.
You can even call him
7-343-228-58-34 (Serge). He is the chief
ideolist and algoritmist. Completed works he does not have, but 
he did it doing a really long time, but tedious

very cool.


  'Ivan Soft' - That I Tomshin Ivan!!
For myself I will not say much. Well, my first
Work is Multi Player. Which incidentally
I have never exhibited as moschny
Prog.Prod. And I just had nothing to
Mouzon here to listen to it and I'm blind! With 'SINGLE', we 
also wrote a very very long steep firmware for the ATM-turbo 
(1), except that I have none more net.Ona supports ROM 271000!

If anyone nor should it be so I can
throw in the echo! And on the PROFI we had written the coolest 
firmware support resident HC and super lomalku, which throws 
out any program in the HI MEMORY LOW MEMORY, and start it. done

very cleverly, pressed RESET + CS and STS in front of you and 
all the memory! (nezavalenaya) 


  We also have two musicians: 'ERASER' -
Artem, recent Mouzon really feel the professionalism! He
has the coolest SOUNDTRACK in our
city, as the encoder writes OT YOURSELF demos. AND
'X-MAN-SOUND'-Aleksandr.Nu he loves
RAVE, ACID, TRANCE, and therefore indulges in
PROTRACKER'e. Recently, he for fun
boiled cool cart (Mouzon) in 100 positions and 36 patterns!


  Our entire team is engaged in writing
steepest in the history of SPECCY megadema
'FANTASY'. What we've written (about
7 parts) looks very cool! And on
effects and estimated bypasses INSULT!
All what we write we write in REALTIME!
True, there are difficulties! Perhaps we
losing the BYE in the schedule and partly in
music but hope this is temporary! AND
yet, we use their imagination, and
not like some loud grichaschie its
power groups which are engaged perediraniem Amiga fantasy and 
foreign super nice ideas! All I have said about us might sound 
like a baseless and we do not try something to prove to someone!

Work on 'FANTASY' will continue
Apparently until the next ENLIGHT'a, although
unlikely that demo will take part in
him on such an idiotic one hand
rules!


  Now about the second group. Call
they themselves "ALMAZ GROUP". In this group
also assembled a very strong Encoders:
Vecheslav Kutin and Sergey Covino.


  They have written to suit the steepest copyist at SPECCY 
"SOFT COPY", Soon released the second version. They write 
another huge thing as a UFO 2.5. Compared with Mednonogovskoy 
on bolee like a UFO (Amiga / IBM)! ! ! Pile tricky REALTIME

procedures, and voobsche Vse them cool, and
DO NOT Hura panky! Zakonchennost 687%. But
They are more complicated with graphics and
music. Since all this has limited funds that they spend a lot 
of time promotion of commercial projects!



   We also have just coders who
something to write. Such as 'Image Megademo'.
There are still people who write all Bullshit
and about the seriousness and of themselves, I
not tell budu.Naprimer comrade
"DE EM SI from a psychiatric bolnotsy N
1913 I started developing a monopoly on
BASICe! And many others in the past

and died!


   Mainly Bonchilloy software at the moment is we have SAM! 
With the software we have tight but with its spread as it may

much better! In our city there is little magazinchik 
"SPECTRUM". It we all hang out. The new software comes

tugo.Na surprise us all, we have recently
subscribe to ZX-FORMAT 4.5! And how
decent hackers at this time we bydem normally distributed.


   Well, here's all I wanted
To tell you. I will say a few words about the legendary man of 
our Urals Korotkoff Eldar, thanks to whom, and at poyavila

our ability to communicate with you. Say
thank him for that
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


  If you are interested in what things
Our development we are always able to
You agree. We really need
New system software such as XAS
5.NN, STS 4.NN, MASM 2-3, ProTtracker above
2.01, and more ...


   We can offer: ELF 128 (by
SAM 'idea by Korotkov Eldar) -
obessmertivatel games! PROMUSIC - iskalka PT myzonov. (DE EM SI 
") SPRITER (By Michael). TASM 4.14 (14 characters and tags

Turbo loader by ALMAZ G) PrefClub (by
SAM) - Preference! Soft Copy (by Almaz
Group). and something else may be something I forgot

 UNIQUE GROUP, Ekaterinburg Sewage sinker N 2 Ivan Soft.

konets letters! Well here at segodnya and Vse
pishite letters!

AVT> Very nice to oznakomleniya.Pochemu as these files a 
little? Th you do not want something people would know about 
you? In short, hi all Ekatirinburg hackers, users! 


     Again, because of my daunstva,
I totally missed all the information on

     event of the year, referred to as subj: (A
as the theme for me demomeykinga

     One of the most interesting, it is kindly requested to 
poke his nose where to get 

     (Fidonet freq or internet site), and
if that can be repeated, then please be
kind, Brost to echo again.

AVT> Sherudilo need every day!



        By the way individual thought. Got
Emulator problem. And here
Say it all. I emulator made it possible
establish itself in the thought that we should not throw Speccy 
... I have yet to drive it, and accordingly ...

booting from tape, bend 1984-88 years. A
emulator has helped me to see / touch
new items, to see how to work with disk ... I concluded that we 
should drive screwed ... With limited finances was the dilemma: 
have a Speccy or throw it, and more not return to it ... 
Prohibiting topic of emulators, you alienate beginners ... 
Maybe it should be? I think that no ... Then certainly Speccy 
dies IBM and will ...


Everything can be ... Just talk, they say
I have a so-what-so is not the order of tire. ; (Faku might 
really need ...) 

AVT> Yes, this problemma we'll come back.


It turned out that's become a point, well, I signed up for this 
echo, well, everything's cool and clear all ...:-( All! Tell 
Dummies, to begin the development of open spaces now! (Read 
that people like something from somewhere it shakes and GAMESy 
and OC, and all other nice things to ZX, and formats as a

mean?) (a ZX-128, well, at 4DX
workplace)

AVT> And we are the same it would be interesting to
know this.

      Now, Explain to me - what else
remained at enthusiast Spectrum,
besides its own enthusiasm? About
that there is no 0.5-1.0 million - do not wish this money you 
can earn. And for nostalgia - the emulator. 

Sorry, Speccy will long live. :)
Would get it as something a friend
from the cabinet and draw it out as a few
watch,:)) but if he has something IsDos
More and messagu someone would write:)

AVT> Guys, IBM-good, but because SPECCY

                BETTER!


Sir Clive Sinclair.

costs incurred? It should be a lemon, 2 to
All this is to buy a copy and

More than almost anyone money to take no

I've already written how this can be done in
previous message. And if nobody will take, then do not.

AVT> Comrades, announce a general collection. AND

Your KR580VM80A is analogue of the Intel 8080 and prtsessor Z-80

(The one that Speccy) - a new, ylychshennoy
model of the Intel 8080! By tomy same VM80A works at 2.5 MHz, 
and Z-80A at 3.5 MHz, and SPECCY latest models were developed 
by Z-80B (7 MHz) and Z-80H, don `t know how to pasporty but 
zapyskayut and 12-14 MHz! A shadow service monitors

So why are it nety no great surprises, but only in a primitive 
igryhi text mode ?!?!?! RK nebylo even at

Enlight'96 (and other Enlight'ah
too), and IBM, and if there was, pogramki
presented a pair of coders, and their
demos for IBM did not represent _NICHEGO_
stunning, the IMB kycha these demos. Speccy at the same 
gathered encoders throughout Russia, not even from the whole of 
the former Union! Their demos were just Otpad! I'm certainly 
not arguing for IBM and 256 (Or 16M colors), SOUNDBLASTER and

etc. and who does not hide the fact that IBM is much more 
powerful than the Speccy, but iBMovskie demos did not show any 
of his new opportunities. At the same ZX, when viewing these 
demos not believe that it is possible on Speccy,

that in turn pervyyu says the skill spektrymovskih encoders, 
self assembly Z-80 and Speccy in whole.



      What about IBM - it's too full RULEZzzss (who do not 
agree with pyst 

    remember at what he reads these letters
)
(AVT> Break off I read on SPECCY.)


 Yes, I will not argue more powerful IBM, and hardware kryche, 
but the program ... shit. Take Win, once

I saw odny oshibky TR-DOS and even told me about

one error in the iS-DOS (I would have not even
noticed). 1: to be playing it

By the same tomy at IBM you alone can not compete with 
companies billionaires on writing programs for Speccy same 
people must be entered starting programs, their 
_ПОКУПАЮТ_У_ОФФИЦИАЛЬНЫХ_РАСПРОСТРАНИТЕЛЕЙ_ and for a lot of 
money that is not to say rotting Speccy, but rather to make it

everything slows down. 3: And so the same lot all that very
