Discussion - Which platform is better?! Pentagon or Scorpion?

 Which platform is better?!                             .DISCUSSION 
                                                                
 Hello people!!! It's me again, ALEX. Today I will push the topic on
account of different computers. The reason for writing this article was the following:
shadow SPECTR0F0N 20. Since I long ago realized what to write in
SPECTR0F0N is useless, I am writing as always in my own newspaper.    
                                                                
 I really liked the point of view of one comrade who
pushed the idea that the world (?!) was divided into two halves,
supporters of PENTAG0NA (pentaG0NA) and SC0RPI0NA. Well, very interesting-
new statement... Further ideas slipped through that
SC0RPI0NA has one terrible advantage - shadow.             
                                                                
 With all this bazaar in issue 20 they didn’t forget about PROFI, well
this is what we'll talk about...                                       
                                                                
 I'll try to compare these three cars, but I compare cars only by
those signs that I know about them, since SC0RPA I see
I haven't seen it.                                                       
                                                                
 SC0RPI0N - near the “screen” I had a conversation with two USERS, with
this is what they werenot some Lamers, but I would say USERS of education
nye. One of them turns out to have SC0RPI0N, and he explained to me
neil approximately his capabilities. Based on these data, I tried
I'm trying to write an assessment of this car.                              
 Shadow service monitor - it was written (or remixed) by MOA, pi-
Tersky encoder, the capabilities are quite good, you can work with all pa-
crumple it and cut it in all sorts of ways, as I understand, the monitor is
hidden in ROM and called up from there by pressing MAGIC
KEY. Occupies 1 KB of memory. Loses to STS in service and possible
possibilities.                                                      
 The MAG0S system is a pretty good pseudo-multitasking system,
pseudo - because all applications do not work at the same time, but
Only the current one works, although more is not possible with SPECCY.  Before-
Quite a good thing.                                          
 These were the advantages of SC0RPI0NA over other computers, those
first disadvantages:                                                
 The main drawback is the unfinished #FD port, it is in
SC0RPI0NE was made idiotically, I don’t understand why Zonov didn’t do it
barks it as expected, since it is eliminated very simply.
The port flaw turns the SC0RP into a big hanger. For example
TASM 128 of any (!!!) version does not work.                        
 No 0N FF button,which would turn off all this mess, and
expanded SC0RP into STANDARD SPECCY 128. There is no possibility of expansion
memory more than 25 KB. Unless of course Zonov made another one
port...                                                         
                                                                
 PROFI - this car can be called the most common among Ta-
Gil hackers.                                              
 The CPM system is the best modification of this system, it seems
compatible with SPECCY 3+, the latest version has 25b (!!!) Color-
nal screen and setting Colors for each byte.  Completely (!!!)
compatible with the basic model, ALL programs work when pressed
button 0N FF, except that those that are designed for INT are buggy
PENTAG0NA, but they stop glitching when you press TURB0.       
 The comper has 3 user ports on BBSS, these ports are PROFI
can be connected to a local network, if of course you don’t mind the wires.
In 1 hour I assembled a device for reading ROM, and it consists of 20
wires and sockets and hung it on the user port.    
 The main advantage of the computer is 1 MB of RAM, even with 7-8 kB PROFI
When copying, it contains the entire disk at once. SRM has the power
WRITE text editor, it is possible to exchange files
directly from IBM disks.                                     
 The disk drive controller is doneingenious (PLL), and allows normal
It is difficult to work with almost all disk drives.  In recent

SC0RPI0NA, PROFI does not have the advantages (however, the advantages
SC0RPI0NA is not there either), although perhaps WARL0CK and I will start to come

 Well, in general, which is better, it’s up to you to decide. Perhaps the article will be received
was biased towards PROFI, but hereyou can argue
