MDM 253-3363 (C) Specter
In the 18th issue of LPRINT, I decided to place
interview with the most famous Minsk
group, has by now already departed
I'm worried about Spectrum problems - * SANALEX *
group. The interview was taken at the radio market
Zhdanovichi 09.13.97. My interlocutor is the main
vator * SANALEX * group - Lavrinov Alek-
this one I had to memorize the interview
memory, so this option contains
a little on my own. So, don't blame me.
L - LPRINT, S - SANALEX.
L: Standard question - when and how do you
SPECCY appeared?
S: In September 1992 they bought me Santaka-002,
I was in 10th grade then, at the same time
but my neighbor, Shurik, was bought Byte.
L: How did your group appear?
S: In February 1993, Shurik and I merged
joined a joint group, name
SANALEX means SANYA and ALEXEY. Summer
the first cash register was sold at Storozhovka
set with games, from that time onwards
There was a sale of cassettes under the brand SANALEX.
L: When did you get a disc flop?
S: We started selling at the market in the fall
floppy disks...
L: ...And from that moment on, the group’s activities
Did you find out everything?
S: About this, for three years (autumn 1993-
autumn 1996) SANALEX group learned in
many cities of the CIS: Moscow, Kharkov,
Kyiv, Chisinau, St. Petersburg, Mariopol, Novo-
Sibirsk, etc. New programs are coming
come to me 12 hours after writing -
tions, for example ZX-ASM 3.0, STS 4.1; I
regularly exchanged parcels with different
new cities.
L: When did you start suggesting improvements?
computer: memory expansion, connection
Reading disk drives, AY, etc. ?
S: Almost from the very beginning - as soon as
when we appeared on the market.
SPC> By the way, I expanded my Byte
y SANALEX'a. It cost him twice as much
more expensive, but back in 1994 I was
an ordinary user and did not know the prices...
L: The latest development of the company SANALEX is
fee
Azure Sound Drive v8.7, how it was born
this device?
S: In the summer of 1996 Shurik/SANALEX (second Shu-
Rick, the first - programmer and musician)
began developing the scheme, another Shurik
wrote a converter program for Amiga music
new toASD.
L: As far as I remember, the latest version of the con-
Werther is about the fiftieth, Sound
Driv'well, only 8.7 :)
In 96 you bought AMIG'y, as continued
activity squeezed SANALEX ?
S: After switching toAmig'we immediately got busy
were selling them, Spectrum also remained
lost - my father still records on
German programsfor the Zhdanoviches, where are they
sells.
L: On Amig'e one of the Spectrum people
Did he recognize you?
S: Yes, I received questions on the Internet
like: "YouSANALEX?!!"
L: How much does your 1200thAmig' cost?
S: Trade secret.
L: What if I’m a user who wants to buy it?
S: Show me the money first.
SPC> Long-term denial...
After a while...
S: About 300 dollars.
SPC> Tankard approaches and offers to take
interview with him. I promise the next number
and I'm winding down this interview.
L: And finally, your wish to everyone
Spectrum people.
S: Amiga - rulez !L: Spectrum forever !
I ended on this optimistic note.
This is a mini interview. To the next number
wait for the interview with Tankard.
