A 1990s ZX Spectrum Scene Letter from Pskov
Serega (alias Sir Tormashnik of Maniacs Co.), a 19-year-old conscript and programmer-artist from Pskov, replies to a ZX Spectrum-scene correspondent named Max. He asks for contacts of other programmers, artists and musicians, describes his faulty Scorpion Turbo setup (no #1FFD switch-off, digital music doesn't play) and asks that this be considered in any software swaps. He lists his projects: Dizzy-Editor, Mega-Base, Cherepanovo-1, Pro-Windows, Pro-Icons (87% done, abandoned when he was drafted) and Gen's (an AY sound generator written in 4.5 hours), plus boot loaders and viruses he won't share. He notes the Spectrum scene in Pskov is dead, asks for new Scorpion-compatible software on disks by cash-on-delivery, and gives a phone number (hard to reach him), since he has no network access.
