+======================================================+ | Iron.... | +======================================================+ 1.Quorum. X-treamer/Infotek Hello dear hackers and all about chie. Those who live in the city of Yekaterinburg- ge, and in general in the Sverdlovsk region and heard about this computer, maybe this Don't read this section. For those who have heard about this computer only from ZX-review magazines, I recommend ee read. And here we will talk about the great computer - re Quorum 256. And I'm not afraid to put it is on a par with such well-known developments boots like Pentagon 128 and Scorpio ZS 256, but not lower. The computer configuration is designed as if especially for professional nal hacker-cracker: Hardware configuration: - 256 kilobytes of RAM, expandable rhenium up to 512 and 1024. - 64 kilobytes of ROM - SR/M Turbo 3.4T loader (about thisspeech will be lower) - Two ROM modes - 48 with extensive system my menu and 128 is standard. - Standard TR-DOS 5.04T; - FFh screen attributes port; - Port 0 - system port; - Port CP/M 8OFDh - Centronix printer controller with support holding in 128 BASIC mode. - Kempston controller; - Possibility of connecting Kemp-mouse; - Music coprocessor AY-8910(12) - Non-maskable interrupts; - Extended keyboard; - System bus; - Ability to connect C-DOS and Hayes - No Magic Button. But the last point cannot be attributed to non- the advantages of this computer. Now I tell you I’ll tell you about the CP/M 3.4T system and that’s it for you gradually clear up. This system flies at the same speed as fast as TR-DOS, 128 kilobyte files The files load in 40-50 seconds. System works with standard Spekovsky resolution by sewing a screen 256x192x8 Colors, using The top screen is removed and installed immediately RAMDISK C: with a size of 192 kilobytes. The system prompt has been modified to make it convenient it was to work with user areas How about directories on a pussy:A:D> where D is the name of the user's area. System MA works with standard CP/M floppy disk mi size 800 kilobytes. This system has a special design Norton Commander v.2.3. which is is a complete analogue of the Pisish shell. But, along with all the teams, she (beginning (from version 2.0) also allows deal with USERS as with directories. About The tray also works with discs in the format MS-DOS is exactly the same as with SIPEM disks. Hacker Evg/Stall developed a debugger STD 2.xx, which is loaded into the top part of the memory (additional RAM with address- above 128 kilobytes) and is called by clicking on NMI. The interface is very similar to UKV emulator on IBM. Its possible details: - Work in CP/M format with Snapshots type .SPC (Quorum Snapshot), Z80 - 48k, Z80 - 128k - write read. - Working with screenshots .PIC, .SCR (so- same write/read) - Working with object pieces of memory (g/s) - Program tracing (inincluding with TR-DOS); - Search for parts of text using a mask; - Calculator; - Disk explorer (get ready); - Detailed Help; - working with registers, etc. - And most importantly, he understands the undocumented bathroom commands (!) Just a thrill for a hacker. The main thing now is that there is no protection from Magic Button will not help ;))))))). For example, you load `Black Raven` and call this shell by NMI. Write down the contents my memory to disk in Z80 format and so on ed. Then you can at least trace it basically, do whatever you want. By the way, I'm here with the help of this system Binary traced along and across Love, and tore the flashlight and plasma out of her, Pravd` works slightly incorrectly. By the way, the “lantern” was invented by our by the native specers - the group `Allience`. There is also a system in SR/M Gamma-dos. It was made in the form of the usual do- sa, has all the same functions, only working melts not with .som files, but with .spc. Zx-windows works just under it. Well, that’s it, I scraped together a little, but who worked for Quorum will not change seats one other computer besides the Amiga.Let's give the floor to Sokol/Infotek ========================================================= +=+ +=+ -| |- -| |- -| |- +^+HARDWARE+^+ -| |- -| |- -| |- -| |- -| |- +=+ +=+ ========================================================= Sokol/Infotek Today we will talk (and then maybe ok, let's get it done :) about computers `Quo- room-256`. The fact is that many people are confused messages from happy programs about availability 128Kb of RAM, whereas SR/M uses 25bKb. In general, the feature for tyrdos-256. This feature is used for addressing upper memory port #7FFD, more precisely the sixth bit of this port. It may be crooked, but but very simple. It turns out something like de Pentagon-256. Well, now to the soldering iron! First of all, you need to find it on the MV mikrukha LI1, which is located in the right top of the board ina row of five micro- Rukh, two (four) left ones of which "bu- terbrods". Simply put, it follows from the right count the fourth from the upper corner chip to the left. After this, solder the drawing below schematic... "Feature V1.0": first leg LI1+=+ 2 1 +---| |-... +--@@@@--+ +---| -+-+- - - | 10 Com X---break + +----|(can be unsoldered) | | - somewhere there Jumper 1 position corresponds to 128Kb, and, accordingly, position 2 - 25bKb of RAM. Well that's it, now Oberon will swear about 25bKb of RAM and zag- beat them head over heels. Yes, if anyone is interested in Why do you need a jumper, I answer - in 256 mode not all programs that came before will work, because some coders graduate to senior level bits of all kinds of garbage, which leads to pe- initial circumstances. For this I ask you to take your leave (s)me, 1998.
Hardware - Quorum, "Feature V1.0".
