System Speccy - Hard Disk myth and reality.

 USER WHO AT LEAST TIME  
 SITTING AT A POWERFUL MACHINE, A PONY  
 SEEMS HOW VERY CONVENIENT FAST  
 ACCESS TO INFORMATION.           
 IN THIS CASE THE HARD DISK OR 
 "WENTCHESTER" LOOKS GREAT     
 ATTRACTIVE, ESPECIALLY WHEN  
 THE PROGRAM TAKES 2-14 MB.... 
 ("HARD DISK" IS QUITE FAMOUS  
  THE DEVICE AND ITS PRINCIPLE 
  I STRONGLY STOPPED THE CYCLE OF WORK - 
  I WILL NOT FLY.)            
 AND FOR ZX-SPECTRUM, WHICH IS IN    
 IN "NORMAL" VIEW HAS 128 KB 
 MEMORY,"WINCHESTER" 210 MB    
 I WOULD COMPLETELY SWALLOW HIM    
 ALL SOFTWARE.... 
                                
                                
AND HERE WE COME (?!) ADVERTISING - 
 SHEET WHERE IT IS INDICATED THAT ANYONE- 
 USER GODZX-SPECTRUM  
 COMPANY "OBERON-K" (KRASNOYARSK)  
 CAN BE EQUIPPED WITH "HINCESTER"  
 20-270 MB FOR YOUR OWN MACHINE.    
 WE GET SO MANY QUESTIONS 
 ROSOV, WHAT I THINK IS NECESSARY    
 OPEN THE CURTAIN OVER THIS    
 NOT A SIMPLE TOPIC.              
 (THE COMPANY "OBERON-K" IS TRYING     
  CAPTURE ZX-SPECCY & "VINTAK"  
  THROUGH YOUR SHADOW   
  ROM, INSTEAD OF THE KNOWN TR-DOS) 
                                
 IN MY OPINION THE PROBLEM IS BEAM-  
 VIEWED FROM THE SIDE OF THE PLUS  
 THE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF THIS TURN-  
 NIYA ZX-SPECCY TO "SMALL"    
 IBM`KU .                       
 1.PROBLEMY                     
 2.PLYСУ

 4.BOPPOCY                      
 1. PROBLEMS:                   
  ZX-SPECCYHOUSEHOLD COMPUTER.  
  ITS COST IS NOT COMMENSIBLE   
  WITH EXPENSIVE TOYS LIKE:    
  IBM,AMIGA, GOOD VIDEO MAG-   
  NITOPHONE AND COOL FRIDGE. 
  AFTER ONE OF HIS CHARMS,  
  IS THAT IT IS AVAILABLE   
  HONOR EVERYONE!!!                
  NOW LET'S THINK: "WINCHESTER"   
  SUFFICIENT CAPACITY (210-270) 
  MB, COSTS SOMETHING ABOUT         
  600 THOUSAND RUBLES ($00, AMIGA) 
  AND SUCH LUXURY, KI'M SORRY   
  CAN AFFORD ITSELF FAR   
  NOT EVERY ONE OF US......        
  THEN THE COST ZX-SPECTRUM   
  COMPLETELY SET (MACHINE WITH  
  MUSICAL 128K, TWO DISC  
  YES,"WINCHESTER,MONITOR) RE-  
  WALIT  FAR BEYOND "LEMON"....  
  WITH THE SAME SUCCESS I PREFER  
  WOULD YOU GET YOURSELF AMIGY  
  OR AT LEAST "286-YU".      
 2. PROS:                       
  IT'S A tempting IDEA TO HAVE A UNDER     
  HAND ALL P/O FOR YOUR MA-  
  LENKYSPECCY.              
  EXACTLY THROUGH "VINCHES-   
  TERA" CONVENIENT TO COPY, STYLE  
  ARMY, COMPANY, WORK,    
  PLAY, PROCESS DATA.   
  THIS CAN'T BE TAKEN FROM HIM......  
  I WOULDN'T REFUSE TO HAVE A POD   
  WITH YOUR HAND SUCH A CONVENIENT TOY,  
  BUT.......                    
 Z.CONS:                      
  COMPATIBLE FORZX-SPECT-   
  RUM ALMOST IMPORTANTTRUMP  
  IN HIS WORK...               
  BECAUSE OF "WINCHESTER" YOU CAN  
  LOSE THIS TRUMP FROM YOUR  
  HER DECKS, AND THEN YOURSSPECCY  
  IT WILL BE COMPATIBLE WITH ITSELF!  
  (IN THE SAME ADVERTISEMENT -  
   NO. SHEET SAYS: PROVIDE-  
  FOR COMPATIBILITY AT LEVEL    
  COMMANDS TR-DOS, AND FULL CON-   
  CAPACITY "ASSUMED"   
  DO IT LATER..(WHEN?)...)  
  WHAT IS THE "FASHION" TO BE RELEASED ON    
  SEMI-FINISHED PRODUCT MARKET!         
  TRULY "SEMI-FINISHED PRODUCT", IF  
  EVEN DCU 2.XX ON "SCREW" NOT   
  WORKS!                     
  (BY THE WAY EVEN ON MY "KILLED" 
   HIMAK-128 THIS IS VERY USEFUL -  
  THE PROGRAM WORKS WITH US-  
  HOME. I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT OTHERS  
  "THINGS".......)               
  SO WHAT YOU NEED I'M SERIOUSLY THINKING -   
  MOTHER BEFORE YOU PURCHASE   
  THIS "SERIOUS" TOY, T.K.  
  THIS COMPATIBILITY IS ALSO THE SAME  
  WHAT TO COMPARE ZX-SPECCY &   
  ENTERPRISEASSEMBLED ON OD-   
  NOM PROCESSOR (Z-80,Z-80A),  
  BUT HAVING VERY SIGNIFICANT-  
  DIFFERENCES IN ITS ARCH    
  TEXTURE.........              
  (I DISREGARDK      
   "OBERON-K" T.K.ABOUT THEM EARLIER  
NOT HEARD OR SEEN...).     
  IN CONTRAST TO THE FIRM     
  "PRIDE" (KRASNOYARSK) LEADS    
  ITS DEVELOPMENTS ARE SO MUCH MORE    
  SERIOUS AND SOUND!      
  AND IT WILL BE CORRECT TO HOPE   
  ON THEIR SUCCESS THAN ON ....... .  
  IF EVERYTHING IS CLEAR TO YOU, THEN OS-   
  I COULD ONLY REPLY TO .   
 4.QUESTIONS:                     
  ATTENTION! "OBERON-K" EXPANDED  
  ZERO WIDE ADVERTISING OF ITS    
  "PRODUCTS", SO WHAT TO CHOOSE  
  OF COURSE ONLY FOR YOU.        
  MY BUSINESS IS ONLY TO TELL... 
  IT IS UNKNOWN AND WHEN "SCREW"  
  WILL RECOVER ITS NORMAL    
  VIEW OFZX-SPECTRUM(IN ADDITION     
  TIME I THINK I'LL ALREADY TRANSFER  
  ONAMIGU OR ON YOUR OWN "З86-У") 
  AND HOW IT ALL ENDS:       
  A WASTE OF MONEY OR    
  SERIOUS "THING". WHICH ISSMOKINGSPECCY TO THE TOP.......
