GLUK RESET SERVICE v5.2i
(C) 1999 GLUK
-------------------------------------------------------
"Without a shirt - closer to the body!"
V.Ya. Shishkov, "Gloomy River"
Well, first of all, a few words about: For-
Andrey Isaev thought to himself a new “Glitch”
mark. And, since the glitch writer is nearby (me) -
turned to me. Pretty soon we reached
consensus and for a bottle of beer drunk
by me in advance, I agreed to fix it for him
glitch 5.2 to 5.3. Everything below is corrected
marked *.
People pestered me here: “You are clear
ours, write at least a line in the original
no..." In two days I calculated
but in order to describe all the possibilities
"Gluk Reset Service v5.2i" would have to
write about 10,000 origins. Since
such patience and assertiveness is not for me
essence, it was accepted (by vote) re-
The idea is that the help should be text. Sincethe voting was secret, I will say that it was re-
the weight was only one vote, and the overall ratio
wearing for/against was 100/0. I'll say this -
that he took part in the voting
the entire close-knit team of authors of this
creations, i.e. I.
I won’t describe here what and how
to make this firmware work, about
this has been said a lot in previous
ries of our series "help" 4.1, 4.2, 5.0,
5.1. It is only worth noting that, in addition to the usual
position in the upper quarter of m/s
27512 it is also possible to replace the 128th bass
to my firmware. This opportunity was
noticed by one pisyukovite who was thirsty
to see her, but could not. The latest situation
tourism allows you to enjoy the delights
my unique genius of use
for the virtual spec - emulators.
True, in this case the transition function to
The 128th bass will work very inter-
resno.
Here in the echo ZX.SPECTRUM a thought flew by
people to improve tyrdos: increasing it
speed + built-in micropanel, etc.
I think it's better to leave it alone
dying tyrdos and all the missing functions
tions to push into the free space of the ROM, which
I, in fact, did just that. Now
about the subject of the monologue: about the work of the firmware.
Control is carried out using
menu systems,nesting is no more than three.
The selection of a function in the menu is carried out according to
with the power of the arrow. The arrow will only appear in
in case the program detects Kempston
mouse. Otherwise it’s not there and you’ll have to manage it
only from the keyboard. The mouse has more powerful
High priority, i.e. if you hover the mouse
on some option, then no matter how you hit
by keyboard - the selected option is not changed -
threads. When controlled from the keyboard:
up - "Q", CURSOR UP
down - "A", CURSOR DOWN
to the end of the menu - CURSOR RIGHT
to the beginning of the menu - CURSOR LEFT
fire - enter, space.
Pressing "BREAK", "EDIT" will return to the previous
the previous window, if it is not the main one. In this
nothing will happen in this case. In general these
buttons cancel the selected
functions.

blinks. No, don't think that you are him
liked it - he just winked at everyone -
wow :)
In version 5.2, auto-configuration has been added
mouse buttons: the first button pressed becomes
curls like fire, the other - rollback (same as
"EDIT", "BREAK" - even with disk op-
walkie-talkies - holding it will lead to the same
consequences as "BREAK".Such a wish-
it would be nice to have it in programs that use a mouse.
In FUT and many others, stop the operation
tion can only be done with a brick and not with the mouse.)
The middle button is not configurable and
when you press it, the program goes into re-
monitor resource saving press - float-
shining stars. The same thing will happen automatically
automatically after 37 seconds (change
rhenium watches were produced by Dmitry
PugacHev 2:5026/18.44@FidoNet - claims

nothing on the keyboard and mouse. Same effect
gives pressing "E".
The clock is supported according to my scheme. All
technical documentation for watches + required
The required software is available on ZX-Server.
* Here! Key point! Clock supported
according to any scheme! Frolov's perversion is better

The ROM itself contains a certain sign:
-------------------------------------------------------

#0002 2 byte address register #DFF7
#0004 2byte data register (RD) #BFF7
#0006 1 byte shutdown mask #00
#0007 1 byte maskinclusions #80
#0008 2byte data register (WR) #BFF7
#000A 2 bytes control register #EFF7
-------------------------------------------------------
Regarding the data register. In the Glu-
ka and similar register address for entry
and reading is the same. But there is such a ma-
tire, like Sprinter - they are different there. Ta-
what a long-term perspective...
By adjusting this sign to your watch, you

In addition, at startup the Glitch is set to

This addon is gathering dust onZX_SERVER`e.
When the program starts, the
dividing the presence of a mouse and a clock. However, in
for a number of reasons may be required due to
changing the state of the determinant - for example
measures if the determinant worked incorrectly,
or the watch has been damagedtime
- then you can use buttons “1” and “2” to turn on
and turn off the mouse and clock accordingly
ignoring the opinion of the determinants.
At the bottom of the screen (2nd line) during
the program is running, you can see a message
"GLUK RESET SERVICE V5.2i".However, if
write the symbol "G" in cell #12 hours,
then below (instead of this line) you can see
send a message that is stored in the watch
from address #13. The end marker is #FF. BUT! not-

Happy birthday to me (the author) :)
* The glitch with the congratulations message has been fixed, and
this changed to 5.3k. Who can guess
why `k` - will receive candy. :)
One of the first versions 5.1 at one time
I was made so that it was buggy on the 13th
numbers. But since only the clock was
just me - I was the first to screw up on this
and subsequently nailed this matter... Now
Let's go through the main menu:
1 GLUK VOOT
From the name it is clear that this is a bottle that
I wrote it - Mr. Glitch. Controlosu-
is implemented under a common interface, i.e.:
a) the drive is scanned to remove the disk
ka;
b) wait 37 seconds, or force
mouse, or "E". The screen goes dark, but
the drive continues to scan;
c) it is possible to return back to the firmware from -
roller keys;
d) due to numerous requests, replaced it
colors;
e) the launch is carried out similarly to the first
Fektovsky;
* Fixed a glitch when changing disks and
the presence of files on it. If there is a cache and in
The following sequence was found at address #00
validity:
#0000 #18
#0001 #XX - any
#0002 "GLUK",
then instead of the inscription "Glitch boot" we get an
entry from the cache, which is stored for the last
from the described bytes, and when choosing op-
tions the program will turn on the cache and try there
go. If you don’t spoil anything, then you can
cache will return via RET back to Glitch (in the original
new element :).
2 COMMANDERLegendary PERFECT COMMANDER. All the same
same version 1.52 with fixed bugs and
etc. No changes since 5.0.
3 COMM 128
It’s the same, but regardless of the existing
memory will determine only 128. Everyone needs
ramdisks :)
4 EXIT TO:
Outputs submenu:
4.1 TR-DOS+
4.2 TR-DOS-
Exits to tr-dos, bypassing the determinant
resident in 5.11 and higher; accordingly with
open and closed expansion port.
4.3 MENU 128
Transition to 128th bass. If instead
Basitsa we have something like a cache, with those
in the same words as in the boot - this option is
changes the contents of the cache.
4.4 BASIC 48To your favorite tape recorder :)
4.5 NOWHERE
Favorite function - does nothing -
hangs. Made for those who don't like chi-
more descriptions :)
* In version 5.3, replaced by cache output.
If the cache is not found, we will return to
Glitch with an error. By the way, about the return. All
cache call functions work through
RST 0
JP ERROR
Thus, the program in the cache can check
strengthen yourself for integrity (for example,
account crc-32, and in case of unsuccessful re-
The result will return to Glitch. Naturally
that it is better not to take up memory when checking
- otherwise... otherwise... it will be bad for you...
4.6 TO PROG
more submenu:
4.6.1 TO XAS BANK #51, JP #C000
4.6.2 Maintenance STS BANK #57, JP #DB00
* Addedexit to sts in #17th bank.

in tyrdos, if it’s not there, then screws
:). this copier is in the Tyrdos version from
5.11 and higher...
* there will be no edges. Availability checks-
Xia. Return to Glitch in case of absence...
4.6.5 FROM ROM DISC
* Removed. Instead:
1) clearing the cache and returning to the main menu
nude;
2) format the ramdisk (if any) with
returning there; Ramdisk is the one that is under
held by Isaevsky tyrdos.
Formatting is carried out using the method
creating a directory and system memory in memory
ramdisk sectors. They are located in the country
Nice #50. In a sad case, if memory
only 128 - then the copy of the 5th copy will be spoiled
wound stored in memory - so notBe surprised - this is a system function.
5 MODE: ALL
A menu opens where you can select
boot launch mode. 48, 128, or all
accessible. Latch 128/all hanging on the bit
D2 port #EFF7. The latch state is memorized
found in the clock.

poverty.
7 SCREEN SAVER
Unique feature, never seen before
nowhere. Allows you to remove a picture that
was on the screen at the time of reset and skid-
put on disk. You can take it out like from the 5th ek-
wound, and from the 7th. The file will be written to
drive named "@-SCREEN". Checking for
The presence of the same name is not made if
There is already one - there will be two.
By the way: after the reset the picture
from the 5th screen is reduced by 2 times and
is located in the upper left corner of the screen.
The attributes are cleared. After the theft

did it differently.
* At the request of the customer, returned again
cross-grid. How - you will see :)
8 DRIVE: A
Selecting a disk drive for operation. Remember-
found in the clock. Select from a menu.
9 TRACK KEEPER
Menu where you can see 0th, 161-
th, write back and forth. Safe
A marker is placed on the directory. Even if
Track 161 physically exists - spare
tearing the directory information from it is not
will happen. Recorded tracks are pre-
strictly formatted.
Well, here's a summary of the functions.
It should be said that disk errors
will result in the opening of the "RETRY/
ABORT/IGNORE", in the same place after the left "RETRY"
you can see the track/sector/side on which
the incident occurred. Ignore when
I strongly do not recommend recordings.

There is no damage to the RAM - however,
interrupts and some registers are all
they get lost.
I highly recommend using
this firmware together with Tyrdos 5.11 and
above.
I would like to say a few words to those who
deals with similar firmware words -
