MSD 2000 3M / MSD 01/15/2000 WHAT'S NEW? First of all, I (3M) on behalf of the entire group apologize for the delay about the release of our newspaper in a new shell (super), but there is a number of reasons (excuses). The New Year 2000 began from the first days with rapid progress in iron areas. Let's start in order: Since December 1999, our group has been actively developing processing of the card (ControllersMultiCard), on which the settings will be controllers of the following necessary, from the point of view of the future, you, devices - Winchester (IDE) of almost any size, mice (Kempston-mouse), and also as an addition - stereo amplifier Tel 2*6 W. The first results were promised at the end of January 2000 year. The CMC board is designed for a system connector, so from its installation there shouldn't be any problems with the new one. The hard drive connector is standard ny (20 pins in 2 rows). Now about the price of the device. According to preliminary estimates, the price should be lower than the price of all these devices separately. Our group Comprehensive (full) support for this card is planned, for example Example: Storing all your software niya (not protected by perversions such as scratches on the disk, #F5-#F7 sec- torus, although this is possible), autostart i.e. the ability to start programs (withmodified bootloader) directly from the hard drive (special ROM) and much more. Since the speed of working with a hard drive is 2-4 and more times faster than with a disk, then loading any, even the most a large program will take a minimum amount of time i.e. there will be happens 'instantly'. And fans of IS-DOS will like it the fact that this controller already has support, so here - NO PROBLEMS! I think it’s unnecessary to talk about the mouse controller. It’s Kempston mouse has become standard on SPECCY and is supported by all software designed for a mouse (ART-STUDIO, BLACK RAVEN, etc.) The need for a stereo amplifier has been long overdue and has been discussed. appeared on the pages of many magazines, including our newspaper. Believe me, the sound from the stereo amplifier is much cooler than what was in the you when buying a car. So connect the speakers to a special connector, bring channel volume controls to the front panel and the team in the lead. Stock up on screws, mice, speakers, and es- especially with money. I would like to remind you that our group does not aim this development has its own enrichment (too funny money), that’s all funds received from minor cheating will be used to finance other, cooler projects that we have completed We try to make it accessible to all segments of the population, regardless of material wealth. About these projects, as well as about the price of some Some failures will be discussed below. WHAT'S NEXT? And then it gets even cooler. This week the connection of 3Opin-1Mb SIMM took place. And although The SIMM turned out to be scorched - I’ll connect it anyway, I’ll just buy it I love the other one. Moreover, the connection diagram I came up with will receive It was quite simple. Moreover, it is possible to connect SIMMs of any size to any expansion ports. It is possible to connect value and 72pin SIMM, but the price is too expensive in case of failure (400-800r).But not only memory expansion is the purpose of connecting SIMM values (although 1Mb RAM is very cool + TR DOS for an e-disk Absolutely awesome), I have thoughts about installing the Z80H processor, i.e. turbo mode at 7 MHz, fortunately SIMM is pushing to increase the clock frequency, and the field of action is There are even more possibilities for a turbo scorpion: 1.44, 1.2Mb disks, speed The speed of working with a screw is 2-4 times faster. Why 7 and not 10.1 × MHz! By the way, the RAM (KR5bSPY7G) that you have consumes a lot of ka, it gets very hot and takes up a lot of space. This is another reason for transition to relatively cheap ZOpin SIMMs. News number two. Modem testing is close to completion SPECCY.Successful tests took place and now we can say - that's cool! Confident reception from the telephone exchange (28-) st. Ayskaya on ATS (34-) Sipailovo district. The modem is made without!phone use transformer, which allows you to significantly increase the speed transmission 3200 and above (wait for the results of control tests - niy).But now we can say that we will try to support this development programmatically, perhaps it will become the standard Tom in Ufa because VICOMM is too poor, and XTR is too authorial. The capabilities of our modem with the simplicity of the circuit are enormous - this is a program line seizing, number identification, call identification, call honest transmission and reception of a digital signal. Combining these capabilities, you can programmatically create a Caller ID of any complexity +automatically vechik, recording the message (in a good sense) into memory or screw and that’s it whatever your heart desires. The modem is being developed by Anton from micro Sipailovo district (the city should know its heroes). But that’s not all. At the same time, the development of a new video car is underway. points for expanding graphics capabilities SPECCY+hardware transfer + dynamic display of information on the screen (i.e. format screen and location addresses of both lines and individual blocks are not rigidly tied to the screen) + much more. To save memory no more than 16 colors per point are planned (namely a point, not a familiar one) place), but there is one obstacle. At the beginning the screen was conceived resolution 1024 * 25bpix 1bcolors, but it soon became clear that horizontal solution for color TVs (monitors) in 2-Zraza lower than similar black and white ones. Therefore I had tofrom- depend on this resolution and choose the optimal one for all types POV of TVs and monitors connected to SPECCY. Winnings from increasing the resolution will be much more than perversions with multico- lor, and in text, graphic and terminal programs simply necessary. Everything that was listed above will be finalized and planned the release of the second card on which we will place: modem, mo- expansion module for SIMM, CMOS clocks and other proven sev- by devices. There may be buffering with the output into several slots, into one of which the card will be inserted controllers. AND NOW COMPETITION! If you know how to code, solder well, are good at electronics, have access to cheap radio components, printed circuit board layout, CAD, literature of imported and Soviet ICs, PLM, CPU, etc. we'll be glad listen. We will not remain in debt. The software is free for all collaborators. 01/15/2000 3M (28-70-91 19-21h.) from 01.02.2000 28-71-74
