This double issue focuses on hardware developments, sound architecture, and low-level software analysis. Key technical features include a deep dive into the General Sound music card, memory expansion diagrams, and a complete disassembled ROM listing for TR-DOS 5.04 with detailed disk controller routines. Literary contributions feature the second part of Sergey Lukyanenko's sci-fi story «Labyrinth of Reflections» and a humorous monologue by Mikhail Zhvanetsky. The collection is rounded out by guitar chords for an Andrei Makarevich song, culinary recipes, and classified ads from the computer community.
