      Secrets from the box.

   Dear readers! In this note I
I want to focus on what is certain
each of you has, you just can’t help but
be, if you are actively involved in Spectrum
Mom, don't play with toys... Intrigued
did you talk?
   We are talking about various finds and solving
these secrets of our beloved and eternal
gone computer. I'm just getting started, huh
I suggest you continue! Write to DEJA
VU about your, even insignificant, on-
walkers in game and system programs,
share your experience, because for sure this is at least
someone, but it will be interesting and useful! On-
write about your cunning cheat or pokes
the whole country will recognize some toy,
as well as about some kind of trick or glitch
ke in the program.
   Well, that was the preface, and now it's not...
mediocre about my findings, which
me, and with whom I am pleased with you
I'll share my freedom.

   1. If you print on a matrix printer
tere in IS-DOS, and the tape is already old and
printing is weak, before printing startsmenu
select a font for printing and assign it at the same time
specifically "double strike" and "emphasized". B
In this case, your printer will print
"highlighted"  font, but twice for each
line. The quality of the print is very important
is improving significantly. "Dedicated" font can be
but for the same purpose, prescribe with any other
in a different font, for example, "elite". The only
a disadvantage is something that is significant
The printing speed drops, i.e. she becomes-
It's the same as that of "double strike"...

   2.  Did you know that the "turbo" mode in
Scorpio can be turned on and off from
Basic commands, respectively, PRINT IN
32765 and PRINT IN 8189?
 How can I check this? Reset com-
computer and exit to 48 BASIC. Dial co-
mandu PRINT IN 8189 (turn off turbo),
then the command SAVE"0".After pressing EN-
TER you will see wide colored stripes on the border
los - indication of output to a tape recorder.
   Now do PRINT IN 32765, and then
again SAVE "0". The width of the stripes will decrease
twice - this means the "turbo" mode has turned on.

   3.  And here could be one of yours
secrets ;-)
