Hello, dear comrades!!!!
Quite recently, in our town, under a steep and not
with a clear name - BOLD, the first issue of the amateurish, elemental
tronnogo edition - TOWN. Due to this turning point
for all of Ukraine, let me congratulate you on this event and
declare the News section open, also congratulate everyone on the
the coming New Year. HOORAY !!!!!!!!!!!
Since my SPECCY is called SCORPION, I decided to start
This section comes specifically from news from the Scorpio company. Recently, I
I got my hands on their price list, thanks to Sergey Khomenko... To those who
If you are interested, please contact me (TARASU), as here
I will write only the most interesting things. Well first of all,continues to grow
IDE hard drive and CMOS controller space price - $20, but
to connect it to a regular SPECCY, some modification is required,
there is a diagram. Secondly, Generalization of programs is in full swing
and computers, GENERAL SOUND + software costs $40 and connects to any
By the way, by the way, a new firmware for GS has been released, everything is fixed in it
glitches, who does not know what it is, we advise you to read ZX-NEWS.
For those who are tired of pressing several keys at the same time
IBM keyboard and mouse controller for sale - $16. Modem from fi-
X-TRADE - XTR modem is priced at $20, its transmission speed is up to
3200 baud
At the end of autumn the company promised to release a GMX board - Grafik
Memory-eXpander, which allows you to increase RAM up to 2 MB, ROM-
up to 512 kb, improve graphics to 640*200 and higher, increase compatibility
compatibility with branded SPECCY, as well as with Pentagon-128, etc. Also,
The board increases the frequency of non-turbo computers to 7 MHz. Fee
installs on Scorpio-compatible computers. Approximately
The actual price with 512 kb RAM is $35-$40. From this we can conclude,
that while everyone else is discussing the expansion of SPECCY, the company Scorpi-
on does all sorts of bells and whistles, it's nice....
In total, this price list contains 77 items of all types of hardware.
I won’t list everything, but I will say that the configured Sco-
rpiona costs only $62 (turbo+music+Prof. ROM+DI controller
box with PLL+twoSYS connector + printer port + everything that is on the ob-
regular Spectrum and something that is not there, for example Shadow Monitor). Who
wants to contact the company, contact me (addresses and name-
you're at the end).
Recently a letter arrived from Dnepr, which contained a floppy disk with
some news.
A program from DIGITAL REALITY has been released that corrects glitches
ki in their DEM - BINARY LOVE... So whoever has it hanging,
This program is necessary. There is also a demo version of the game "MIRROR"
similar to Star Legacy, but a little more primitive...
We also received two compilers for Digital Studio -
one for AY, the other for COVOX. So now you can paste
digital music into their programs and make collections of melodies.
In Dnepropetrovsk, things have gone well with modems: “soon there will be networks,
... fish... crayfish... beer..." - quote.
A new scheme SounDrive 1.51 from FLASH has appeared, the main
The difference from previous versions is a completely redesigned circuit-
ma and the ability to work in COVOX mode.
According to the latest news from the capital of our region, the city of Che-
RKASS learned that at the radio bazaar in this city there is no
one spektrumist, and that new toys come there mainly
outside of BOLD. But, paradoxically, the DEMO structure there is about
it should, so we got four Cherkassy demos made
in 1997. Although, of course, looking at them you think: “Somewhere this
alreadywas. "
True, the demo, called Art-Vizion, does not look very good
bad. It was made by members of the ETC Group. At the end they are listed
composition and machines on which everything was done, among them there are ZX and
AMIGA, and even PC - which is quite strange, since in the very de-
there may be attacks on the PC and the glorification of SPECKI. And at the beginning they announce
It turns out that WOLF returned to SPECKI to create a Demo.
In our town everything goes on as usual, one day we eat, and three
drink.... Just kidding. Although there is some truth in every joke.
After creating "PUZZLE", I started making a commander for SPECKI
which will work with the Scorpio propeller directly, simply
matting pictures, fonts, texts, listening to music - how
DIGITAL on AY and COVOX, as well as INTERRUPT's music; will highlight
files by extensions and sizes (colors) - B, C, A, H, W, M, S, P, X, o,
p, s, etc. You can also digitize Mouzon and video with this commander
signal, if there is a corresponding prefix. Yes, he also supported
any RAM expansion survives. And much more.
The demo version, TCOM, is already ready.
Yes, I also made *ЗPIXEL*, a program for viewing maps
teens in three-pixel mode, which opens up new possibilities in
demo and game construction. This product will work on all types
Speckies, even with full brakes...
Uncle Vitya still hasn’t fixed the glitches in his ATM, but
but I bought a PC-38bDX and now deals not only withSpectrum,
but also IBM computers.
