==========================================================MY SPEKK=====
From: crOacker
Damn, I read your newspaper! Number 4! And covered himself
almost complete rule. Why almost? Yes because
the mu spekk section is almost dead :) Here I am for you with my article and
I'm sending :) The article was typed in ACEEDITOR 0.69, on mine
Sprinter.
Mine is not PC1.
Written April 3, 2003.
Continued April 4, 2003.
Finished June 5, 2003
Especially for Full Pull.
I have quite a few non-PC computers,
at least two of them are compatible to some extent with
Spectrum.
My nepc1 is Sprinter 20OOpro. On this car I
I code for the soul, now my PC has died and I’m sitting behind it.
And the PC will be given to me only in three weeks, so
we can say with confidence that one sprinter is more reliable
two pcs. In general, the machine is quite reliable, for those nine
months that I own it there was only one failure, and that was not
due to the fault of Sprinter or its Estex CSS OS, and due to the fault of mine
dead screw.
But since the newspaper is still spectrumist, I will
describe this aspect of working with it, but first I’ll describe
him externally.
In general, the board is all so smooth, green, you can see it
a couple of awesome slots, all so black and so cool
brilliant quartz :). On the board itself you can easily recognize
a couple of mikrukhs. Firstly, this is VG93 (Kyiv, very
reliable), secondly, this is a small altera, she
stitched only once, during the production of the Sprinter,
it stores the basic parameters for the initialloading Sprinter, also in the “small” alter is located
algorithm for deciphering the big Altera. It's also easy
discover a large alter, in which it is located
current computer configuration.
But the CPU (Z80) is quite difficult to find, since in
In the Sprinter it is in a PEC case and therefore looks
Quite cool and modern. The fee is quite
small, fits into a mini-AT case. Holes,
which are made on the board comply with AT standards and
so the board easily fits into a standard slot
body My board is screwed on with two screws and where
there should be a sheet of paper underneath the bottom bolts. In general
my body is completely crap, or rather it’s not even
body, and only a shelf from it with a front panel and
power supply.
I have two disk drives, both three, first I re-soldered
my three under “A”, then I bought a bushy TIC disc,
in which there is a jumper "A" / "B", but I left it in
position "b" because nenenaubatb back my three to me
not hunting.
Also for my Sprinter there is a Quantium screw.
Fireball 504a 52OMb, screw with buds. I have a monitor
old, electronics 32vts201 with built-in cnukepom,
which you can't fucking hear. Alexey gave me the monitor
Goryachev (Sprinter project manager). The monitor is pretty
old, lower right corner is burned out and therefore red
the color in it becomes pink (straight abra-cadabra
some kind), but you can still work, although as soon as
There will be a VGA-Adapter on sale, I'll try to buy it and
I'll connect my Sprinter to VGA for EVERYONE's sake
Spectrumists who don't want to keep up with
time.
Now about the software. as you all know, maybe not,
the sprinter can operate in several modes, such as 48 spec, 128
spek, scorpion, zx-sprinter, Sprinter, also available
several special modes such as Coom, Game-1,
Game-2, which provide the programmer with special
features such as hardware screen scrolling and others.
My Sprinter boots into Sprinter mode by default, a
then the user menu starts automatically, in
in which I choose to load the ZX-Sprinter mode, in
which is where I work most often. The Sprinter has a mode
turbo, as much as 21 MHz, so mostSpectrum software
he flies on it, and it's cool.
Recently I arranged Au Muzax Super-PArty - 27 hours
continuous AU music pierced my Apartment. Sprinter
ran these 27 hours with dignity, so now I have
a state of complete rule.

Hello!
I read FPL sometimes... I already have the first two issues
I don’t see it, but there is a third one. this means that the first two
were bullshit %) but the fourth one will definitely settle down with me
on the screw - it looks like it turned out okay %) especially for me
I liked the design of CRECITS... it doesn’t seem cool-ascii,
but one fic is beautiful %)
Anyway, if interested, go to the Mu Spekk section.
I use Pentagon128+AU+covox since 1995. the flop was 5'25
will be thrown out in the summer somewhere in 96 or 97 and
screwed 3'5 (due to which a hole is visible in the body from
big flop %)
around 97-98 kovoks was soldered %) on
I didn’t dare to make a bigger upgrade, and it’s fucking unnecessary
(unless you solder it with 1 sim...) the case is blue,
plastic, recumbent %) in general, Pentagon 777 (or whatever
there it is, from Moscow, in short)
there is a flop switch - 5'25 - A, 3'5 - B/5'25 - B,
3'5 - A :) there is an indicator of pages and screens %) is still there
beeper on/off toggle switch, magic button and pause toggle switch
(if some brute calls me, I have to turn it on
this pause %) power supply is native (I don’t know what %),
inside the case.
I really want to connect the Spec to the AT power supply, from which
The Amiga is powered up - I hope there will be fewer reboots due to
turning off the lights in the bathroom %).
Well, on the Amiga I use the CBSpeccy emul (shit, really)but
there is nothing better) - Pentagon128+AU+TRCOS. but you can
change the number of lines on the screen %))) standardly
only 320%)
that's all %)
