 So Hello again, our dear
readers. At this time we do not have time to write yet another 
tragic entry ... And therefore make a small neliricheskoe

retreat.

 1. Our mailing address has changed!
A new look for the same place as the old one.

 2. After published in the 3-m room
arguments of one of our readers
possible future Speccy we started getting a lot of material, 
and sometimes virtually full-GOVERNMENTAL conceptual 
developments on this topic ... 

 General provisions are as follows:

Thrown out all or part of memory (usually -
Basic 128) and is replaced by the BIOS, or directly to the full 
OS.  This version of the little machine adjustment, which 
allows no significant cost (Excluding, however, the development 
of OS) ETS   lat move to a big evolution.


The second idea is that the ability of Spectrum expanded by a 
strong intellectual periphery containing

their processors and operates on the principle of
- A short command at the entrance - a big result at the output. 
(An example of such a device is absolutely correct General 
Sound, and virtually all would to see the next new video 
adapter). After the release of mass razlichnh devices written 
radically new OS designed to work in a multiprocessor 
environment.  This, in turn, allows you to create

truly revolutionary mass multiprocessor platform, similar to 
that in the world does not exist. 

 It remains only to say that The figures in the idea
literally worn into the air and come to
mind for many people in this connection, we simply
can not publish all such projects
and kindly ask the authors do not take offense at
us for it ...

Well, now I come to the letters.

Our constant reader of Petrodvorets
Andrei Yakovlev wrote us the following:
, AH> Do not allow yourself to reveal the theme for the 
competition. Tell me pozhaluysa like me to example, I could 
write a routine in assembly language, if this is the assembler 
I I only know the 5 th month? Necessary to give subjects

for people, but not easy, so you can
was to smash his head, really vylozhitsya at 100%.
 ZF> Well, this is partly true. However,
very difficult how to come up with themes for
competitions, and missing a lot of competitions
once ... Competition on the level of L. SQARD completed, and 
the public have left Two: The contest for the competition, and 
competition for Computer anecdote. And for programmers

- Complex enough competition on the demo page. We believe that 
this has enough. A contest to contest

will be always.
 AH> For writing articles (I think) use any text editor. Not 
easier to distribute it, the articles can be engraved users and 
sent ready-made, and only then you decide to make them into 
production or not make.

- ZF> We accept texts in any format
editor. (Though WinWord.) Themselves do we
Spectrum'e use for the most part
Editor-iS-DOS'a, as the most powerful on
opportunities.

 A few questions sent Denis Tokarchuk of Yenakievo that in 
Donetsk region. - DT> Will you change your shell?

, ZF> As you can see ... Possible improvement would continue.
 DT> Do you think your competitors
Magazine Publishers "Faultless", "Spectrofon"?
 ZF> None. With Spectrofon'om we are reasonably
little intersect as for other
publications, in our market, they are weak and difficult to 
judge this. , DT> On what issue ZF you want to end and want a 
complete, or is it undefined?  ZF> We love our job ... However,

Now everything is decided by the market. And the state
market, incidentally, a very significant impact
and have such abstract factors
as a tightening of European health
standards for electromagnetic fields of equipment. 
(Nebezinteresen and the fact that Russia's requirements for 
electronic equipment under this part to remain in the 10 - 100 
times stiffer than the European ...) 

 Intriguing proposal sent Alex
Garkulim of Krasnodar.
- AH> you name some popular
song (which is spinning all the radio stations,
Well the word on everyone's lips) and Music-Makery
- Your readers are trying to repeat it ...
 ZF> The idea is certainly not bad, but too hard to evaluate 
such a contest ... Yes vobschem something to us and so have to 
assess a fair amount of music, proposed for the design of the 
magazine. 

 Another question sent to us, Alexander
Gordeev from Volgograd:
, AH> Can I connect to the ZX (Pentagon)
hard drive, and what should be the operational support? I heard 
that the ATM-ke has been used hard drive, is it true

it?
- ZF> O controllers in different HDD you could read in the last 
issue of the journal. K Pentagon'u without significant 
alterations or one of the options for HDD controller did not

connected. There are models for the Scorpion - with support for 
TR-DOS, hard drive works as a collection of disks and KAY

- The hard drive works like a hard disk, but
only under the iS-DOS and requires a launch from a floppy disk. 
Reviewed on Scorpion'ovskom controller contained in section 
hardware. Purchase controllers can be respectively in the firm

Scorpion or (C) Nemo.
 ATM machines do have
built-in HDD controller, running
CP-M. However, the massive use of HDDs in the ATM are not there 
... In addition to ATM IDE-HDD controller is available in

ZxNext.

 Eugene Shumilov from Kirovsk wrote to us:
 Em> Diversify music magazine. In
Ideally, each section should have its
music, not as in ZF # 5.
 ZF> Alas. We would, of course, were delighted to bestow 
benefits all those who applied to us musicians, but the disk 
all the same not made of rubber. In the acute shortage of disk

space in one room ZF, usually no more than 20 music.

 It should be noted that quite often, many make the same 
mistake. Here is an extract from a letter Nitochkina Vadim 
Kurganinsk: , NW> You wrote in the journal that you have more 
than 3000 programs.

 ZF> It was written in the advertising studio
"Logros". A studio Logros and XLD - it is not
the same thing. Although we have long and close working with 
them and, of course, we can redirect your orders, this creates 
additional inconvenience to all participants process - the 
extra amount of time delay on the transfer and much more until 
the "corrupt phone."  If you are interested in something read 
in advertising - please visit, specified in the advertisement. 
Call for the right call at the appointed time and write the 
correct address. Thus, you save yourself and your recipients 
from unnecessary problems.


 Michael Larkin of C-B, and not only he
one interest:
 ML> are you going, along with the rubric iS-DOS, open the 
Field of PINK-FLOYD?  ZF> NO. While we leave it without comment 
... 

 Well, that ended in processing your mountain
letters came to us after ZF # 5
30:03:97.

 In conclusion, we should add a few
words. Why do so few answers?
Just generally we do not respond here to those
letters, answers to which can serve as any article of this 
issue.  And such happens quite a lot.



   Gentlemen!
 We repeatedly come across questions like:
And what is the address of Logros'a?
Where can I buy a mouse?
Tell us more in detail about the TR-DOS ...
(After the fifth number!)
And even - "That you're here for something to write Amiga, and 
what it is / what models are they?"  All these things had been 
written in previous issues ... The impression is that our 
magazine just barely browsing. But we can not from room to room 
to reprint the same, only shoved it into this section. Be 
careful.
