From this number we will stop
We welcome the reprint of Inforcom-
edition of "Programming
language in machine codes" (the same
people wanting to buy this book
can freely buy it on
radio market) and begin to expand
broaden your horizons with
power near the Spectrum
topics We offer your attention
mania excerpts from comp. networks
AmigaNet.

DS> === For beginners ====
DS> =======================
DS> Q. What is the amount of memory
is it better to put?
DS> A. If you don’t plan
run software from Macintosh and
sophisticated graphic pas-
^^^^^^^^^^^^
chum salmon, that’s quite enough
eight megabytes. If you plan
nirate - better than sixteen
or more - depends on
needs.
There is no point in comparing three
memory requirements for Amiga and PC-
they are fundamentally different
platforms.
Q: What is "sophisticated"
graphics packages?
PS: (off the record) if
are you planning to write a FAQ for
"lamers", then use it
expressions for lamers! ;)
DS> Q. What does software have to do with it?
from Mackintosh?
DS> A. Since on the Amiga and
Macintosh have the same pro-
processors, then Amiga using
ShapeShifter programs pose-
will execute software from
Mackintosh directly,
without software emulation
central processor. What
means that the speed is
software bots will be the same,
just like on Macwith the corresponding
processor.
Thanks to this, we have access
pen all popular software -
MS Word, Adobe Photoshop and
other well-known programs.
Since Mackintosh is relatively
memory requirements
you - the car is very gluttonous -
^^^^^^^
livable, memory needs no less
^^^^^
higher than on a real Mac.
I just left out the rest
but if it's so important, then I
I can find a lot of mistakes
side in this version of the FAQ. ;)
DS> Q. I want to connect a
Ti-inch drive.
DS> A. This can be done
you just need to take into account the following
blowing - Amiga needs
floppy disk change sensor. B
regular double drives
density (360/72Okb) it is from-
exists - therefore better
discard this option (to-
sure, it can be done
yourself, but the drives are 5.25"
now for the price of dirt - pros-
it makes no sense). So, well-
female drive 5.25" 1.2mb
(all such drives have
floppy disk change sensor).
You need to make sure that
jumpers can be set
disk rotation speed -
five revolutions per second
instead of six. For example, that
have some property
which drives are NEC, Pana-
sonic and Mitsumi.
The adapter diagram is given
on separately.
DS> Q. I want to connect more
one 3.5" drive.
DS> A. The scheme is exactly like this
same. Need drive 1.HHmb -
the reason is the same.
DS> === Russification =======
DS> =======================
DS> Q. How do Russians
fixedAMIGA?
DS> A. There are many programs
frame packages such as
RusyTNG, DisEase, Rusifier..
The general idea of Russification is very
simple: a keymap is created
(Russian keyboard map) with
Russian character codes, and
fonts containing Russian
letters. Most advanced
the Rusifier package also contains
LIVING SYSTEM INSTALLATIONS,
allowing you to install in
Locale Preferences country
Russia and the Russian language, after
what operating system
allows programs to identify
navat and use special
country-specific features
ty - date format, currency type
numeric unit, time zone,
transformation rules and
comparison of uppercase and lowercase
new letters of the Russian language,
and much more. Also for
many programs have been created
catalogs (files of a specific
format containing all
text messages program
we) in Russian, fortunately
giving what after installation
Russian language in operational
no system these programs
will have Russian speaking
interface.
DS> Q. What encodings
Russian characters are used
on the Amiga?
DS> A. On the Amiga they have similar
creating many different codes
rovok, as accepted on friend-
different platforms, and
working independently. This
the notorious 866 encoding
MS-DOS (completely inconvenient
for Amiga), encoding D.Mi-
Khailov, used in st-
swarm version of the Rusifier package,
encoding KOI-8 ("Novgorod-
Russian "russifier) and code-
Windows installation (1251code-
page). In the near future
it is planned to make coding
ku Windows 1251 standard
de facto.
Coming soon standard
Dmitry Mikhailov will be
standard officially announced
Volume of Russification of the Amiga!
1251 goes to the garden, because very
a lot of programs
calm down with this encoding
don't work! The fact that EVERYTHING is
rested on the fact that 1251 -
this is what I need, I don’t know yet
read that "think tank"
Russification of the Amiga with this
agreed! BTW, work is underway
bot, and very serious, no
at the level of drawing some
fonts and writing locales,
in terms of development and improvement
enhancements of Rusifire DM.
