Did you know that...? 1. At the end of August 1999, i.e. most recently, me, 3M and SERG We saw a hard drive controller (iS-DOS) assembled by Borya. That's how it was. On the morning of the last Saturday in August Borya came and I brought with me a computer, a monitor, a controller and the screw itself. Screw It turned out to be a 100-meter (Mb), bought on the last cloud for 100 rubles. True, it had a couple of bad sectors. The controller represented is a single-sided printed circuit board with 6 chips the size of 2 matchboxes. (==) Scheme taken from ZX-FORMAT #8, drivers under iS-DOS it is located there. The board is assembled, of course, on wires. Naturally because this is the first copy. At first all this mess did not want to work, or rather, the screw when recording was very ate currents. The decision instantly came to pick up an additional power supply, which was done. An additional power supply was taken my SCORP. Having configured the driver in the old version of iS-DOS, we started global testing. By breaking the screw into 5 devices of 28000 each blocks, we started copying all kinds of crap there in the form of text files about Stirlitz 450 bl. long. Copy experiment from one logical device to another occurred almost instantly, the HDD access light was busy with its direct responsibilities and the whole boring process we tracked precisely by her. Eh, sorry Artemcame over - he would have liked it. Upon completion After all the experiments, we realized that the coca.com program is BUGLY, and copy.com works great. Blaming it all on antiquity iS-DOS, we began to install the driver under iS-DOS'99, we also encountered glitches here (error 250). Nothing changed, the sucker still crap on the screw, but made a copy everything I should. In short, it's time to take stock. Laughing together - hovering over the inscription in the instructions for installing the hard drive - "... after installing the hard drive, fill it with all sorts of nonsense, the coca.com program will help you with this..." - everyone has become to wonder. In short, everyone liked it. Yes, I almost forgot, we are trying feel free to save .trd images on the screw, although you haven’t tried them restoration works, but poorly. On this let the law- read news number one, from which news number two follows. 2. At the moment, 3M is distributing a double-sided control board Lera. Artem is busy developing an RS controller. 3. At the end of August 1999, another party, in which ZX-SPECTRUM participated. Well, let's wait description of the party in the computer press. Full name - "Festival of computer art ChAOS CoNs7rAc7iOn'999". 4. Artem chose a pseudonym (code name), now hePink Panther. 5. SERG DRAGON left for Yekaterinburg last Sunday, study. Before leaving, he left a couple of articles. We are waiting for letters. 6. Gillian Anderson, who starred in "The X-Files" (The X-Files), it turns out that in her youth she posed in porn magazines lah, so much so that censorship prohibited their import into the USA (Anderson originally from Canada). She also took third place in the competition for ... blowjob (75 men in 2 hours). And she has tattoos on her groin- roving The inscription says something like “I will not refuse anyone.” Wow, how am I going to look at these “charming” lips now? "The X-Files"!? Information from Speed-info'98, photo attached They lied, I saw it myself. 7. If you are seriously working on your computer, then you probably collected system programs on a separate disk so that more convenient to work. Now I'll tell you how to write boot, which will you be able to run all this, since the usual one is not suitable here? dit - too long. You have to wait for it to load, run the cursor, When looking for the desired file, press "ENTER". To run from my boot Just hold down the key assigned to the desired file. So we write in BASIC: 1 REM MSD FAST BOOT, MAX SNAKE 9.1999 5 LET X=0: LET Y=0: LET FILES=3 <--- We have 3 files in DATA 10 FOR I=1 TO FILES 20 READ K$,READ F$ 30 IF Y>=21 THEN LET X=16 <--- In case there are > 21 files 40 PRINT AT Y,X; K$;"-";F$ 50 LET Y=Y+1 60 NEXT I 100 RESTORE 1000 110 FOR I=1 TO FILES 130 READ K$,READ F$ 130 IF INKEY$=K$ THEN CLS: PRINT AT 21.14; INK 3; F$: GOTO 500 140 NEXT I 150 GOTO 100 500 RANDOMIZE USR 15619: REM: RUN F$ 1000 DATA "a","ART128+" 1001 DATA "f","FUTv2.01" 1002 DATA "Z","ZXZIP!s" <--- add here what you need, don’t forget to change FILES variable. If you type a lot of empty lines DATA ".","........., and set the FILES variable as LET FILES= VAL ".", then when In addition to innovations, there will be no need to rewrite the program; Just add a new file name to DATA using the disk doctor. Don't forget to fill the remaining dots with spaces and a variable Correct FILES too. If you find errors in the program, then try to fix them yourself. 8. From September 15, public transport in our city will become paid. Trolleybuses, trams - 1 rub. For schoolchildren and students 50 kopecks Buses are still free. 9. This issue is compiled entirely onour (MSD's) articles. I hope it stays that way in the future. Many thanks to all the authors of the articles, including those whose articles have not yet been published. 10. The latest news, magazines have been released MIRACLE #3, ZX-POWER #3 and DEJA VU #8, wait! As always, the most interesting things for you have been collected by MAX SNAKE
