             ROM GLITCHES                    

                     Nothing lasts forever 
                 the moon, said one 
                 sage, and if suddenly 
                 remove it, it will happen to everyone 
                 end.                   

                  Chemist.                  

    Starting this section I want to immediately 
warn all users that if 
you will find in this section something like 
a hint that it urgently needs to be altered 
native ROM, then I tell you right away - stop 
this stupid idea.                         

           So, glitch number 1.            

    If we turn to address #0000, then 
The entire system is reset. Actually 
In fact, this shouldn’t happen. They say 
what's in the branded Spectrum at 
#0000 is the procedure for switching to 
emulation mode "IBM PC".               
    I don’t know for sure whether this is true, but 
from the point of view of one of my friends, this 
quite possible.                          

              Glitch number 2.               

    Try inserting it into the drive 
sealed, working disk and type (in 
DOS) command FORMAT "xxx".  What, no 
formats?  Now peel off the slit and 
repeat the procedure.  What, formats? 
You don’t have to say anything, I know it myself 
formats.You see, you have formatted yours 
favorite working disk, but on 
on a computer with a normal ROM, you will never 
Don't ruin your scratch disk.                

              Glitch number 3.               

    When executing the command (in DOS) MOVE 
try pressing BREAK.                 
    What, it's a shame?  It's okay, it will pass.  How 
They say they learn from mistakes (ROM).       

                Glitch number 4.             

    Try placing the disc on a magnet. 
What, is it offensive again? Yes, yes it's again because 
errors in ROM.                             

                Glitch number 5.             

    You bought a new gaming machine, or 
system disk, but you can’t read it. 
Again ROM.                            
    But there is a way out of this situation.     
    Remember when you used 
drive on a household tape recorder, then 
before loading, almost always configured 
head.  When working with a disk drive too 
you need to adjust the magnetic head. 
    Take the largest screwdriver and 
forward.                                   

    I guess I'll end here 
listing countless ROM glitches 
our favorite computer. If it works, then 
we'll talk more about this topic in the second 
issue of the electronic magazine "DI HALT".   

             Until next time.
