  This time I will tell you about the glitches of ne-
tall, but very dangerous and harmful.  So.
Lately there have been a lot of different
reworking ROM firmware for the old Spectrum
ma. Either a copier will appear in the firmware, then
turbo formatter, which in itself is not even very
bad.  Unfortunately, in addition to standard errors,
side which Clive Sin built into Specky
clair are added and home-grown.          
 Glitch number 1 found in the firmware  gluk5З_t
(Renat Mamedov).   Seems to be quite good
sos-128, support for mouse startup,
CMOS clock, any RAM,
screen saver, built-in Perfect
Commander, selecting the drive type, etc.
But no! There is a bug in the firmware resulting in
those of which your beloved Specky will forever refuse-
wants to load the rule game "Operation
R.R."  As they say - it will arrive somewhere,
will disappear somewhere.                            
 Glitch number 2 found in new firmware
version TR-DOS 6.04.  I didn't bother looking into it
in especially new functions of this firmware.   But
I can say with confidence that trb_04
incorrectly resets MAGIC files  to re-
As a result, all meaning disappears
use the magic button.           
Glitch number 3 can spoil the mood
already a virtual brotherhood.  And he was found in
pretty cool shell to work with.trd
disks.  Its name is ZX Spectrum Navigator v.
1.10 (RomanRoms Software Co.).  But first
a little theory: as you know, after removing
copying the file from the TRD disk (and after compacting
disk) the file body is not deleted
as such.  It still remains somewhere
garbage on the disk in unused sectors.
For the purpose of better further packaging of it PC
there is a program for archivers  TRD
cleaner v0.5(by Maxsoft/Speed Co),which
paradise and carries out the necessary purification.  Yes
now, if you decide to lose yours forever
For your favorite disk image, do the following:
Compact the disk image first with a program
cleantrd.com,and then the built-in utility
into the SN shell (Alt+C keys) without going into
inside the disk itself.  We did it :-))).   Te-
first enter this trd disk.  What will you see?
Delhi Nothing !  As they say - on purpose
for those who like to lose the zero track
is being announced...                               
                                          
 P.S. If you find glitches during operation
those with one or another software, utility,
firmware, etc.  write in this section,
We'll publish it.
