Scene - ZX Spectrum in 1999: traders stopped buying software

ZX Spectrum in 1999
Arseniy Astapenko>  
In short, traders stopped buying 
software because they stopped buying from them? 
Alex Letaev>  
A slight rise in rent and a sharp drop 
demand after March 8. The Magicians couldn't 
pay off the rent for the next month, and Software─ 
the old man was still trying to somersault a few me─ 
syatsev, because. he lost his main competitor 
but even despite this, the last months 
worked for rent. The rent was left the same 
in dollars, as it was, and the trader realizes 
what people have in dollar equivalent 
Money did not increase after the crisis, and the price 
almost does not raise, well, or incomparably with 
at $. And earn a little on free co─ 
they don't give him grids (it's not the grids' fault). 
Arseniy Astapenko>  
Traders just need to unite. 
Alex Letaev>  
Already tried it, it was Tim Kelly's idea, Slava 
decided to release a FAQ on traders, which 
that's all over. It is necessary to explain the owner─ 
Spectrums, what actions the platform has 
you can destroy, but what to help her. 
Vladimir Bogdanovitch>  
If they ask why I still use the spectrum─ 
I work with me, so I tell everyone on the market - 
this is not a job, but a hobby (it’s a pity for such a machine) 
spray the accumulated software). Already become 
drive only on Saturdays. On Sunday 
and the space doesn't pay for itself, not to mention gasoline. 
Alexander Kulik> 
Do you sell software? And what is popular now? 
Vladimir Bogdanovitch>  
What’s popular is what’s new and what’s normal─ 
sleigh. But I don’t care about popularity 
special study: 20-40 spectrumists, yes pussy─ 
People occasionally buy a Spec CD. 
Grunge/SMASH> 
I started selling software locally
market, otherwise there was no one at all. At first
Only people who came to me were pussy-catchers
(I also sell software for old 2s,
3s, 4s and 'searches'), but lately
Spectrumists also come. There are few of them yet
This seems to be connected with what was done before me─
Kovian software was not traded for about 3 months─
tsev. The situation is this: a man is running between pya─
Dov, suddenly once: 'Both-on! Spekov disks! Where
you were there all summer, I came, but no one
it was..' So one new one comes running steadily
buyer-spektrumist.. Constantly coming
(1-2 people per push) comrades, thirsty─
blowing to expand theirSpectrum.Local up─
workers should not be left without work -
I try to convey to them the coordinates I wish─
Please upgrade. To my surprise, even
among the owners of Spectrums with TAPE there are
people interested in Specky. Magazines are taken,
but reluctantly: there is a type of people who are interested─
to literally everyone who goes to Spec.A other─
the gym needs din...Sit down and write toys,
if you want to support Speck!

 S T A V
National Fund
 S P E C T R U M A.
Listed below are the statutory tasks of the fund: 
1) financial support for the ongoing hedgehog─ 
suitable for the Computer Arts Festival on 
based on Spectrum-compatible computers; 
2) organization of a commercial publication (official─ 
national press organ of the Foundation); 
3) maintenance of the Foundation's website on the Internet; 
4) financial support for the development of information technology─ 
rational networks for spektrumists; 
5) financing on a competitive basis 
electronic products for free ras─ 
distribution over information networks; 
6) control over non-proliferation over networks 
author's commercial software and others 
products with the initiation of claims accordingly─ 
compliance with the current legislation of the Russian Federation; 
7) provision of interest-free loans for private individuals─ 
schools for the purchase of computers 
classes (based on Spectrum-compatible computers─ 
computers), creation of local networks, schools─ 
servers included in ZXNet; 
8) organization of free training certificates─ 
qualified teachers in computer science and 
repair specialists (mainly 
from among the spektrumists) and subsidies to the fund 
salaries for educational institutions, 
who agreed to hire them; 
9) financing on a competitive basis 
significant for the Spectrum community 
projects in various fields. 
OLDMAN> 
The fund itself as the highest goal is a good thing, but 
it is organized by completely different people 
not so. Therefore, in its current form, 
more capable of harming than helping. 
Alex Letaev>  
Explain, PLZ, how it can harm networks 
and other structures that exist for this reason─ 
day onplatform. And especially to me 
it is important to understand how it can harm Spec─ 
trum and Spectrumists. I think Spectrum─ 
hundreds of those who do something useful on 
good of Spectrum, namely: writes software, yet─ 
supplies software, contributes to the writing of software and 
its distribution in a variant _beneficial_ 
software authors for further continuation─ 
their work. The same goes for the same─ 
les and other similar aspects of the platform. 
OLDMAN> 
And they will blame the rest for their failure─ 
Spectrumists - supposedly indifferent to anyone 
nothing needed... 
Leonid Koroljov> 
Absolute majority on Specky Orienti─
focused on games. If we think aboutrebirth─
Speccy Institute, then first of all you need to find out─
thread of his future purpose.
Vyacheslav Mednonogov>  
Naturally, I was more interested 
question of how the fund will be implemented─ 
support game & software makers: 
========================================================= 
 That is, a person comes and says: I 
I'll make a program like this, for like this 
term. I've been there for three months. Commission evaluating─ 
determines how much this program is needed. (skip) 
For example, he said: I will make three-dimensional ones there 
there, star wars for the Spectrum, for 500 
RUB 500 rubles evaluates the game. They tell him: 
ok, there, the need for the Spectrum is high, 
here, this and that, and they will buy, there, demand 
will be. That's all.We break the project into definitions─ 
linear steps, as it were. He deposits money by 
as the game is being produced. 
========================================================= 
What, the idea is to punish negligent authors 
ruble ;)) 

Vyacheslav Mednonogov>  
We recommend everyone to watch Nicron #106 
- there are the results of an extensive survey 
sa on Spectrum 98-99.. KAY1024 started ex─ 
boarding in Moscow. Kempston mouse actually 
completely knocked out the AY mouse. Number of cars 
with RAM>=256 in 2 years increased from ~30% to 
~50%. Having a hard drive is an expensive pleasure─ 
view. Everyone has AY :) But nothing about GS 
consoling:>5% isnot serious:( That's all 
there are still people with 48k+tape recorder=8-[ ] 

Artur Ishmurzin> 
The state of affairs with Speck in Uzbekistan. У 
I was of the opinion that our favorite computer 
continues to live only in Tashkent.  22 
January 1998, the first BBS opened. 
As for software, we exclude it─ 
pretty pirate, they are equipped with special personnel. 
nal expeditions to Moscow and St. Petersburg. Out 
your own newspaper Wallpaper. There are groups that 
are temporarily combined to be implemented in 
the life of an idea, and sometimes successfully. 
I haven't talked about hardware, namely boards, for three years already 
were persecuted in Tashkent, they use all the hundred 
eye. At best, someone who has a car─ 
man allows, orders boards in Russia. 

Leonid Mishankov>Please tell me what you want 
Does make you use CP/M these days?
fk0> For example, M80. On the Spectrum there is none  
one decent assembler :-( 
Vladimir Galtscev> 
I abandoned Riff Tracker because in 
Storm has run out of space for tags. 
fk0> I know of only 3 implementations of CP/M  
- MOA, ATM-TURBO, PROFI. Now D00May as 
insert 85x24 (512 pix) screen driver. 
Sergey Kulkov>  And there is also one like this  
TURBO 2+ (for me). 
fk0> Of the software, there is only the standard one ─  
bor - M80, L80, TurboPascal, Hitech-C, 
SuperSoft C (must die!), SuperText, all sorts 
PW, NSW, WM etc. 2All: GIVE THE SOFTWARE! 

Pavel Demchuk>  
Subj : IMPULSE 6 
And not only with humor, as one person said─ 
rich - "vodka stack overflow". And how in general 
Did you get the subject? 
Vladimir Klymus> 
It would be better if you didn’t release it at all. In
There will never be this infection in Lviv.

Megus>  
I ask everyone who is willing and able to test it 
NeOS kernel functions, read the doc and catch 
possible misunderstandings so that I can correct them. 
Valker/Style_Group>  
Lack of at least test software 
provisions. I would like to read the opinion 
authors regarding system positioning 
on the spectrum of tasks, on the spectrum of equipment, on 
spectrum of users. 
Alexander Bondarenko>  
There you go - new projects are being observed again. 
Only something is taking a long time - this is a project─ 
tiring. You just need to mentally imagine─ 
Vite Speck without TR-DOS. The very first thing 
it comes to mind - how to launch toys? 
You need a file system. But which one? 
TR-DOS is enough for the average gamer. Well here it is 
please - gamers can do without 
new operating system. Therefore, everything will be ─ 
future toys can be purely under TR-DOS co─ 
dit. Now let's look at those who have a computer der─ 
lives like a typewriter, database, etc. 
Well, in short - to Users with a capital letter. B 
Basically, there is already one thing called 
IS-DOS. However, there are a lot of things you need in it─ 
better, or rather, completelyshovel. 
These people need a new operating system, but 
(!) - with software like those written for it 
text editors, databases, etc. etc. 
Max Lekomcev>  
My friend is going to write a subject like 
Win95, but, unfortunately, does not have access to 
FIDO :( Characteristics: 
- Will be hardcoded in additional ROM
- Will be called via NMI
- Requires 512Kb...4Mb of memory and a Profi computer
- will use CP/M screen
- Multitasking according to the principle: the more 
memory, the more tasks. 
Musa Khaybullin> 
It's high time for Profyak to do something like this 
write!!! If you need anything, I'll try to help. 
Dmitry Pavluhin> 
Only strength is allspray :(. Would take
"...the whole world, all the people..." would lay down
on the operating system - look, it would have been there a long time ago
It would work fine for everyone.
Valker/Style_Group>  
It is possible to do it similarly to Linux, but for now 
it is not clear that this is being implemented. Somehow─ 
some people don't want to part with the sources :) 
Sergey Fokeev>  
For quite some time now, there has been a development going on in our city. 
boot of the new freeware operating system 
for Spec. Those who wish to take a look at the description 
you can see its capabilities. 
Igor Gruzdev>  
"I have a package for you, but I don't give it to you 
I'll give it away." 

Igor Galuza> 
Screenshots from their new project, which
very far from completion - Heroes M&M 2.
Pavel Chiritso>  
The point is that it is not clear how to do it.All 
colorfulness of less than 3x3 sprites is not necessary 
edit. Next, as I understand it, it comes down to pa─ 
wrinkle - so no need to waste time on trifles, IMHO, and 256K 
SUCH a game would sell. Regarding the battle 
- if there is a stopper in the formulas, then they have long been from─ 
are known (even I have them written down somewhere). This 
a large network, all coders, musicians and xy─ 
dogs. As a last resort, screenwriters. And what, 
can't we do some Heroes? ;) 
Denis Jakushkin> 
There is no one to work with on the Spectrum.
All the groups of the old school collapsed (Virt,
Style,Galaxy,Virtual Brothers,X-Trade,etc)
The organizers gave up on projects, coders about─
were lazy, the artists became gamers. For real─
There simply isn’t enough lization of game projects
coding hands, artists, musicians. 
OLDMAN> 
And who sends hundreds of music to parties? 
Denis Sokolov>  
To the party please, but to the magazine/newspaper - 
Mother laziness. ;))) 
Denis Jakushkin> 
When the project "Heroes of Might" started
and Magic" (without my participation), it contained
2 coders and an artist. When I connected to
project and described what will come after all─
I tried to turn it around, it turned out there were 8 code mods─
lei + map editor. Of all the "old men-
there are two entertainers left in the project - me and
Beavis. We need to draw these eight modules +
coding for 2 years. If we don't find more
at least two coders and 1-2 artists─
kov, then the HM&M project will have to be curtailed. :( 
Jedi/N-Discovery> 
Ready to help with the scenario. Direct convocation 
you can’t get the right people, you need action─ 
or otherwise... For example, if the project is not com─ 
mercial, then you should contact directly 
group organizers - and declare that in co─ 
game pirates on the most visibleplace will be 
names and, in particular, titles are indicated 
groups that took part in such a cool event 
project. Only in this way is it possible to semi─ 
to add a much-needed element to the system 
as a kicker (after all, the organizer is in the first place 
the queue is precisely the kicker), and 
there will be several of them, which will not allow pro─ 
project to fall apart. If the project is more commercial─ 
skiy, then everything is more complicated, but here too 
output - however, you will have to shake it out subtly─ 
concerns about copyright/payment/etc. 
Denis Markelov>  
Two artists are not at all necessary, but 
programmers - if they do nothing 
to do, then at least a hundred is no goodwill be. 
Denis Jakushkin> 
Hey, will you be for two? Then come on, Tosik,
put up with it, like 3colors, you stole me
in '96...
Denis Markelov>  
Hy....I remembered :) We were young, inexperienced :) 
I offer an official apology (true, then─ 
Only from myself, others have been on the Spectrum for a long time 
no)... World? 

Artur Ishmurzin> 
Introduce 512x192 video mode as standard and 
accordingly, add it to the board. 
Ivan Mak>  
You can add something cooler. For example─ 
mep,640x256. It is done on 1..2 microcircuits. 
Artur Ishmurzin> 
It's much cheaper to use something like 
video processor used in MSX2. 
The manufacturing company has already received from it 
profit. Therefore, the cost should be at─ 
measuredly equal to the cost, i.e. minimal. 
LD/X-Trade>  
Not relevant. For game consoles - yes, 
if we take ancient toys of the type as a guide 
"run to the left and shoot". Hardware with─ 
lobes are defeated by megahertz. In modern times─ 
For specific tasks, the screen is recreated every 
frame, so nothing but hardware overlay─ 
you won't get a good mouse from a video processor ;) 
Pawel Kislyak> 
We have a person here developing a new graphics─
physical card. Each point on the screen can
accept 256 colors. I suggest discussing
method of working with an additional screen.
The developer suggests using a stack.
Some data is written to a special port
value, and through the stack you can use Push commands
and Pop work with the screen. Because additional─The lower screen takes up 48K, then it can’t be
will sync normally with the output
sprites. You can make two such screens.

Vyacheslav Mednonogov>  
CV2: memory ran out:( And we need another one and a half- 
two keels...I will do it as in ChV1 - for not─ 
which heroes store part of the sprites, OS─ 
receive mirror images.. 
David Willis> 
IMHO most Spectrums now have memory─ 
256 and higher. There are already conversations going on 
due to the lack of games for large memory. And 
there would be a real incentive to expand 
last remaining from Speccy 128. 
Murad Davronbekov>  
I categorically agree with you, especially 
that we have almost no one in Tashkent anymore 
wants to have less512 kilotons ;) 
Valeriy Kovalev>  
This IMHO does not rule, because... discrimination 128K! 
Igor Galuza> 
Don't you care that the gamma is only >=128K?
THIS IS DISCRIMINATION 48!
or the fact that she is only under TR-DOS?
THIS IS DISCRIMINATION OF TAP PLAYERS!
or that the music and FX are in the AU?
WHAT ABOUT THE BEEPER!
LD/X-Trade>  
According to the latest estimates, the optimal volume 
memory for free work - meter. For 
relaxed - 512. 256 - lower limit. 
I'll finish the compiler and tell you where everything goes. 
Vyacheslav Mednonogov>  
The transition to 128 was also a risk (at the moment 
there were barely such computers out of UFO-1 
or more than half), but he justified himself─ 
gave. Currently, every user 
on account, and such a trick can only be done 
in non-commercial projects :) In addition: 
a) have produced an unlimited number of standards 
extensions; 
b) fundamentally P1024 (for example) does not have─ 
There are no special advantages over P128, 
except for additional memory, so version 
under it will differ only by an additional ─ 
imported pictures and speech digitizations; 
c) in the same place as the fundamental differences 
present (for example, Sprinter), ready─ 
using the special version is associated with pain─ 
lower time costs, which, due to small 
(so far:) the prevalence of such models 
simply not cost-effective. 
Artur Ishmurzin> 
It is high time to bring to a single standard─ 
all extensions and improvements for Spectrum─ 
ma. Everyone is shouting: give us a normal system 
and a normal computer for work, but how 
you start digging - no one needs it. 

Andy Parfenov>  
I can write a demo for 19 MHz, we have it here 
one craftsman overclocked his spec this way. 
Vyacheslav Mednonogov>  
I wonder if it’s possible to overclock it by 16 times 
(in terms of memory/logic speed)? 
Ivan Mak>  
Perhaps if you use a fast cache 
memory. And it will accelerate not by 16, but by almost 100 
times, according to announcements the eZ80 has 80 MIPS. 
Denis Ognewsky>  
If he can, then Speck expects unprecedented 
rise in the field of demo-making;) 
Serge Zonov> 
Not real. :-( It is only compatible with Z80 
by commands when working in stan mode─ 
darny Z80. You can’t insert it in hardware 
none of the existing options Spec─ 
trums, since it differs in number─ 
legs, many control signals, 
time diagrams, etc. Here only 
we may be talking about creating a new computer─ 
tera. Who will create it is unknown. 
On the periphery - no one, if only because 
it is unlikely that he will appear there. In Moscow - like 
there is no one either. Only the author of Spry remains. 
inter. But he, as I see, began to think 
about whether the development will pay offor not.If then─ 
only because of the love of art. But only on 
this (enthusiasm, love of art) in about─ 
hardware on Spectrum in 10-12 years 
existence in Russia is nothing worthwhile and 
not widely used. 
Ivan Mak>  
I once modified the 256th computer like this 
that he now has 4 windows of 256 pages each 
each. I installed only 2 micros for this.

used the same 7FFD/1FFD port, but bits 
4 and 5 hung on the decoding of the projector window 
vanish, and bit 3 to select the type of recording in the window. 
If 1, the value of only three is written 
bit of port 7FFD and 1 bit of port 1FFD. Athose 
the very 2 microcircuits are 1533IR26. There was a mode 
80x32 characters, graphics 16 colors per dot, 
big, big brakes due to the processor, 
operating only at 7MHz. There were promises 
overclock the processor to 10.5 or 14. And they were 
assurances from competitors that this is impossible :) 
Yura Yakimuk>  
It's too late to make a super car, the bells and whistles are great─ 
old times speck (pro, scorp, atm, zx- 
not really) have not really taken root, even less so now. 

Andreas Kaiser> 
I live in Hamburg, I work in a German company 
company programmer. Until 1995, I lived in 
Russia and was born there. I had Spec─ 
room-compatible computer "Sintez-M". Howas soon as we moved to Germany, I sweat─ 
revealed every contact with the world of the Spectrum.Prev─ 
imagine my surprise and joy when 
I found Speccy emulators on the Internet! I 
learned that Russian people do not forget Speccy, 
Like I didn't forget it. 
My idea to create a computer compatible with 
Spectrum and suitable for our pocket 
people. There is a chance to raise Speccy to the level 
Amiga. I'm going to create this system as 
OPEN AND AVAILABLE FOR REPRODUCTION TO EVERYONE 
FOR THOSE WHO WANT. Brief technical data: 
1. Full hardware and software compatibility 
Cost with original Spectrum. Name─ 
meaning levels, length and shape of system ones 
signals, addressing standard ports, etc. 
2. Compatible with all Speccy clones 
using memory greater than 48 KB. 
3. Supports all available peripherals 
devices (meaning, of course, “live” 
devices, and not “dead” over time, 
type ZX-Interface 1 (TM) ). 
4. New open OS, built on the idea of ─ 
logs of messages and tasks (tasks, processes, 
messages).Old Spectrum OS (i.e. BASIC) 
used as a basic input system/you─ 
water and creating staples (bat files in 
IBM) programs for processing system screens─ 
ptov. All Spectrum ROMs will be processed. 
5. Using more powerful processors 
Z80 family. I can briefly say - it is ─ 
there are more powerful variants of the Z80, allowing─ 
able to operate at frequencies up to 33 MHz without 
turbocharge. These are Z180 and Z380. 
I'm looking for all system programmers, method─ 
rework BASIC Spectrum. I also 
I invite all systems engineers to develop─ 
ke our common computer. A special invitation─ 
to my idol, Sergei Zonov. 

Vyacheslav Mednonogov>  
We need to move on to more progressive 
programming methods :) Well, like MOA 
for example, which is for debugging its TM and 
other. wrote a Scorpio emulator and assembly─ 
ler/linker MA80 for PC. 
Denis Ognewsky>  
Yeah. I know one such person. HeUFO 
started writing before you. But he needed it─ 
get your own debugger monitor. Then your own assembler─ 
blair. Then your Spectrum emulator. Here 
now the Spectrum emulsion is finishing. View─ 
Rome, what will happen next. ;) 
Flying/DR>  
And when RST7 completes its C, it will be completely 
more complete rulez! 
Random> 
I WANT!!!! let him bring it to SS999 ;)
Flying/DR>  
Write to MaxI and let him tell Dima. AND TASM 
v5.0 too!!! BTW Squizer recently on IRC 
I blurted out that it looks like it will be C++, yes 
still integrated with TASM v5.0! 
Alexander Ageev>  
IMHO a bit of a crazy idea. Just write 
C++compiler - no problem, but to whom 
it will be needed if the code is several times 
will be less optimal than asm? 
Flying/DR>  
Remember that _any_ C/C++ compiler has 
built-in ASM compiler, why, ask─ 
is it possible? ;) 
Alexander Ageev>  
A good optimizing compiler is 
is another matter, however, the labor costs for the process are ─ 
writing such a thing is imho simply immeasurable 
and are absolutely incomparable with the labor costs for 
TASM of any version. 
Flying/DR>  
BTW I want to tell you that RST was spent 
most of the time is spent on creating _optimi─ 
zero_ compiler! Moreover, according to his word─ 
you, the compiler will generate yes if necessary─ 
self-modifying code! This compiler 
was ready back in December 1998, but how 
Dima said, you need to write an editor for it and 
all the harness, but he doesn't have time for that 
due to CBSpeccy. In addition, TASM is ready 
(though not 5.0, but somewhere around 4.5x), but he is for─ 
exactly fits Dima's car and carries it 
under TR-DOS - a big problem... :( Who doesn't 
knows that Dima has a hard drive, connected─ 
based on your own scheme, and your own 
OS, tailored for cache. 

Alex Shalin> 
People! There is an interesting idea - how to fuck
a little internet on the real Spectrum!
 1 - naturally, you need a normal browser
- must parse markup tagstex─
the simplest, links, tables. Forms, frames,
pictures, other bells and whistles or comments─
or just ignore (music, etc.)
 2 - Browser integration with mail client─
Tom - www by email. Let’s say he wants to spec─
Tumist read announcements on Windows2000 :)))
Writes in the URL line www.mustdie.com, mail─
Vic generates a request - a letter to the "post office"
to a server specializing in mailing
html by mail" (PSSRhP), who is in the mood─
kah registered. The letter goes through the gate to the Internet
PSSRhP, he reads the letter and takes it away from the fine─
software page (I can follow a few─
shchih), writes a letter to the spektrumist, and to him
catches html'ki. Spectrumist receives a letter─
mo, launches the Browser, that html rips out,
in a format convenient for you, on a storage disk─
gives and tells the user: Transferring Data
from www.mistdie.com:)When using the page
read it, clicks on the link. If next
he already has the resource on disk - page─
Will it load, if not, the mailer writes
new letter to the PSSRhP. Etc.
 3 - PSSRhP needs to make your own for zxnet,
customized to his needs, and on some
install some of the gates.

They told me about a guy in Kalinin─ 
I went online with ATM-Typbo 2, and 
the browser wrote it himself: -Oh, he probablywas that─ 
only in text mode, but still cool 
Felix Knajzev>  
Please, who has information on the subject! 
Konstantyn Kankyev> 
In my opinion, the only one really applicable on
Spectrum may have an  tag :)))
Denis Sotchenko>  
With this approach, you can immediately limit yourself to 
tag  :) 
And what can really be supported: 
1) shapes - absolutely no problems
2) JavaScript - heavy mathematics there 
no, usually executing simple commands 
3) formatting: 
 
 
 etc
4) styles - you can just make several 
fonts, where bold and italic options will be 
high-quality drawn in advance. 
5) tables. There is some problem with the resolution─ 
problem, but it can still be solved. 
6) different font sizes. Often the web─ 
designers will come up with something that happens in 
disable dimensions in the browser - personally, I do so with─ 
adjusted to a certain font size for bo─ 
larger text arrays. 
7) lists 
 
 
 ...
8) frames - possible (and even necessary) in the form 
list a la Lynx 
9) ImageMaps - in the form of 2 options: own─ 
maps in vector form or menus. 
I’ll note right away - I’m focusing on a good one 
configuration - 512-pixel screen, turbo, 
memory meter...

One of my friends wrote a TCP/IP stack on Spec 
and, it seems, even successfully ;)

In 4 years since the initial conversations about
General, the people never realized the importance and
is this device necessary? Then speck─
there were 5 times more Trumpists. Well, no time─
the creators of the subject were arguing about supporting it
with the majors...
Yuri Voynalovich>  
If people know that in the next 
year GS _will be_ (i.e. much in advance), then 
I think the percentage of GS students will still increase. 
Oleg Sazonov>  
Unfortunately, DANGEROUS completely scored on 
GS and sold all the remaining GS Zono─ 
wow, according to the price list in Scorpio they cost 40 USD 
40*20=800 rub. - completely exorbitant price 
especially without memory :(((((

Subj : Re: DMASound. 
Programs seem to have been thrown into the echo recently. And 
they all came through me - I received them from 
map author - Stranger - 9 more months 
back, then I assembled the card itself, but the board 
I didn’t spread it, but assembled it on thick cardboard 
and wires. Can you imagine this convict 
labor (40 cases). I still can't 
make it work normally. Collect, 
people, subject - together we will fix glitches. 
Nicolas Davidov>  
1. Due to the sufficient complexity of the subject layout 
and if there are no printed circuit boards 
for him, onlywill be able to collect this card 
a very, very limited circle of people. 
2. There is no way to listen to music with ra─ 
bot with another program. In other words, 
we have another, albeit sophisticated, muses─ 
cal coprocessor. Which they installed─ 
it makes sense only if there are at least 
512K RAM. It is not clear why to invent more 
one sound card when you already have GS?
