              NEWS FROM URZ              

                         "New is good    
                         forgotten old"  

                      FOLK WISDOM.  

    ATTENTION!!!     Giant of Russian 
computer engineering amazed the world with its 
new perversion! Nothing like it yet 
never was and never can be 
on hardware platforms that are not compatible 
with Spectrum!!! (Emulation not possible!)   

    We have received a sensational message 
from the Uryupinsk Radio Plant.  Mastered there 
release of a new hardware add-on for 
spectrum codenamed "TARE".   
    This device allows you to store 
high density huge massifs 
information (up to 2.5 megabytes), just in 
installation, requires almost no adjustment, 
has high reliability.    However 
we'll pass the keyboard on to someone more competent 
persons.                                    
    So, the chief engineer of Uryupinsky 
radio plant Fedor Stepanovich Zaglyuchnikov: 

    Firstly, it should be noted that this 
the device is not that new, just long 
development was kept secret at the time 
intended for military 
industry.  But times have changed and 
now our many years of work will be able 
appreciate each, I repeat each, 
user.The uniqueness of our 
development is that it is so 
is simple that even infants and 
paralyzed old people (provided 
appropriate supervision) will be able to 
use.     I'll list some 
characteristics of our device:      
Let me list some characteristics 
our device:                       

- does not require any adjustment; 
- does not require hardware changes 
computer;                               
- does not require creating a large volume 
software;                 
- existing software 
can be remade to a new look 
media with minimal changes.   
    There is a small exception 
number of programs strictly tied to 
specific media type (ADS, DCU and 
.t.d);                                    
    Now more details.                     
    In order for this device 
could function, is necessary 
the following hardware minimum:      
 zX-SPECTRUM 16k without floppy drive and 
music processor. BASIC ROM firmware is better 
have a standard one, but it is not prohibited 
use of any of its modifications.       
    The amount of information that fits on 
one medium can vary widely 
within - from onemegabytes and above. 
This volume depends primarily on 
recording density - the higher the density, 
the more volume you can record. 
    Imagine how much you can 
stored on one medium - this can 
be a dictionary of 50 thousand words, 
macro assembler with a huge library 
functions, unlimited database 
size and can be listed up to 
infinity, but another application 
I would like to remind you: remember about 
games!  Do you want R-TOUR with a hundred levels and 
Are they all different or the same ROBOCOP? Well then 
did you like it?                              
 And now about the most important thing.

three day guarantee?                   
    Please take into account that the services 
performed by highly qualified specialists! 
We were amazed by THIS and experienced a new 
development on your computers.     
    Not a single glitch, everything works 
great and whatmost importantly, no 
incompatibility problems.          
    That is why the editors decided not to 
let a wonderful cause die, and 
took over the production and sale of this 
devices.  Maybe this development 
will put an end to talk of death 
platforms and we will all dive into 
Nirvana and let's listen to Kurt...          
    The package includes: 
instructions in Russian (provided 
additional payment is made 
translation into any language. For persons in the passport 
which is written in the "nationality" column 
- maya - please do not disturb), itself 
device, and spare wiring, as well as 
one data carrier type MK-90 with 
several programs.                  
    The device consists of a cord at the end 
which has a five-pin connector, and 
another connector, which is optional 
customer can be installed on the second 
end of the cord.                            
    At one end the device is turned on 
tape recorder, the other end into the computer.  
    To activate the operating system 
just enter LOAD"" from BASIC and 
turn on the tape recorder for playback, 
the loading process is accompanied by 
passing colored stripes across an area 
curb, and sound effects from 
tape recorder.For more detailed instructions we 
intend to publish in the next issue 
our magazine.
