This is Nemo... Manufacturer KAY - here it is everything that is known about the author of the great lengthy articles in ZF to most syn- lerists. At best - some will remember the portrait in the ENLiGHT-97 review. We decided to lift the veil of secrecy a little over this mysterious person. So, armed with a voice recorder, we will meet trained with the great submariner of the world Spect- rum'a and, walking in the shadow of the alley fame, did a short interview with him. (By the way, he was born and raised something like this same as the majority of Leningraders, poet- Therefore, we did not focus on these moments.) ZF> Where did (C)Nemo study? N.> Liap, flow on 701-705 special tee. Dima Kasya, for example, studied there nov, who is currently developing What kind of iron does Scorpion have? In due time he took first place at the Olympics electronics; I took second there. There were there are other interesting people there, for example - Simenyuk, whom I met in construction squad. Subsequently, he was engaged in vodka of my boards. ZF> It’s interesting, but your speech and articles clearly indicate that Nemo's circle of knowledge is not limited to a technical university course for and work on the Spectrum market. What other any interests? N> Let's just say: I'm still an amateur in several areas. Especially me in- interested in mathematics and what is now is called religious studies and all things that those with thisclose - psychology, poetry tism, psychoanalysis. These things are on the line ke. ZF> Knowledge in these areas was obtained on your own? N> Naturally. In fact the most interesting considerations arise precisely at this level. In order to design It's useful to get out of the forest and look at the problem as a whole. To a person should have such a look spoiled by reading as a child. In order to- I would like to imagine what kind of car it will be through 2 years you need to have a concept no longer level of wiring and microcircuits. Needed know where this might go. A This is where concepts like mentality (even if it is not very complete) not known), structures - they are studied by mathematics, collective psychology of producers - This is already Jung. Without such an approach it is impossible but produce something. Computer - some projection of these entities into technology, but They are the ones that are primary. Why and how I left on these areas of knowledge? I was wondering some literature not intended for dummies. This is Nobert Wiener, for example. He has two global works "I'm a Mathematician" written for housewives and "Cybernetics". There he begins to develop to introduce some unconventional approaches to in- format. Against this background, an understanding came, that the platform is a complex system. This Prigozhin. What is a complex system? - by Kholmogorov this is a system, a descriptionwhich cannot be final. According to Prigogine this is somewhat different, although similar. On for- there is a pack of disciplines on this topic called is synergetic. We call it systematic approach. In particular, with ana- lise any solution or device in within the framework of the platform, such approaches are inevitable, when you need to calculate the consequences some decisions. ZF> What does this have to do with all this? has a religion? N> According to one of Prigozhin’s provisions, everyone complex systems are isomorphic. Ancient names Put it simply: as above, so below. Those. when considering any complex system any topic can become its model complex system. With appropriate bore of actions. You just need the correct name objects and put corresponding relationship between actions and systems will become adequate (interchangeable). With that In our approach it turns out that the most elaborate systems are churches. And consider computer platforms most conveniently, appealing specifically to religion yam. Because, according to Prigogine, both complex objects. And accumulated over centuries the toolkit provides amazing opportunities ity in terms of analysis and synthesis. Those. re- ligia is a very convenient model for consideration. of computer worlds. Religious worlds - these are the same virtual worlds as computer ones and people are also busy there. ZF> So religion is just for youtool? N> Any position or theorem can be find some practical application. But this does not mean that their value is limited. read by this application. Mathematics topics good thing is that the worlds arising at the tip pen are not always reflected in reality. On the other hand, everything that is in the world reflected in mathematics. Those. in mathematics There is no business principle. Same thing also applies to religion. ZF> In the article entitled "virtual reality" things from yoga were mentioned, before quite far from what is traditional is meant by the word "religion". You're here did you communicate with practitioners? N.> No. It was purely theoretical Teres. The public doesn't really understand What does it mean to “practice” religion. This is the one the very moment when the public stalls on everything is 100% and the smell of burning rubber is heard us. Praying does not mean knocking fishing to the floor And some things presented Sims from American handouts are pacifiers. Knowledge from India and China today an hour first they get to America, they vulgarize- Xia, and then go to the rest of the world. And people who firmly believe in the American Dream, They take everything at face value. What does it mean practice? Maybe this is what is needed but only if you want to achieve some results in the field of religion gii. There are methodologies that they don't need it. You don't have to go far, for example in Orthodoxy there ispractice "mind- doing a lot"; there is a so-called "pneumatology", there is hesychasm - this purely Byzantine methodology. Needed just be sincere and then open up many things. In fact, the speed of production movement is not determined by the number of strokes in gender or not, how many steam rooms are made for a certain time, but rather by degree Your sincerity in a certain direction - lenition. The question is "are you doing practice" is usually ignored. Because different people mean different things by this. Practice is more mental, rather than physical. The important thing is that in fishing The physical is just a help something mental. ZF> And again let’s return to the question - where from so much information? As a rule, people those who enter such wilds are engaged in one thing. N> The problem is that people people usually don’t think that any teaching contains a piece of truth and a set of flare-ups (misconceptions). You can't hit your head on some book, this is the surest way to become fanatic. You need to be able to highlight the rational nal from irrational. And this is possible but, if, say, communism is assessed with point of view of socialism, and socialism - from point of view of communism. Then it becomes the defectiveness of both concepts and their positive qualities. This is the path of knowledge. It’s actually easier to get results by developing there is only one direction. Another thing isthat this result will be in a certain least limited. And to get a vision It's useful to explore different approaches. Needed to be able to feel like a human being, I extend- for more than one human life, religions provide exactly this. By the way, this allows us to notice that when They say that the church is not involved in politics - this is not true. The church is an organization tion, which deals precisely with politics well, if politics is understood broadly - how directed influence on life processes sy in human society. Another thing is that this influence is on the segment of one person ical life is not noticeable. And having a wide with such vision, a person can evaluate - what where it is going and what needs to be done to obtain a certain result. Mathematical term Synergetics, Ilya Prigogine, in Orthodoxy it is displayed as interpenetration of ideas and will of the creator and created essence, mutual creativity. Si- Energy is rather religious - mis- tical doctrine than mathematical concept, although there are enough formulas there. ZF> There is a rumor: Nemo defended the dis- certification. Do you really have a degree? new degree? N> This is a myth. I don't have an academic degree. B in fact, science is now one of cognitive systems. It can be shown that there are facts that are inaccessible to modern science - new Parapsychologists who meddle in academia democrats and academics climbing intoparapsycho logic is nonsense. They are in different planes bones, and it’s simply not possible to see each other they can. Science also has a bureaucratic back. It has its own clergy, there is episcopate, own pope at the academy Sci. They're all working towards their vision. peace. In Russia, this was all done by the state. gift account. Now it has become impossible possible. This party exists rather virtually. ZF> That is, it is approaching the position most religions. N.> Yes. And those who remain there now, one might say, they take out the lower pots from the pyramid. It's interesting to see how everything it rocks. ZF> Do you mean that they are ongoing? Now research is ruining the scientific picture peace? N> Exactly. You can just bring a few examples that are in no way the gates don't fit. Science is based on the concept of causality, i.e. - there are some benefits ranks, there are some consequences. In Synergetics this is not entirely true. Roughly speaking, the universe Naya is a big "Deus mashin" and knowing initial conditions can be calculated po- life at any time. (Laplace de- terminism). So that the cause receives an effect yours, there must be some kind of connection, i.e. - Information is involved in all processes. Information is material, and if we assume, that it can spread faster - paradoxes begin. For example - demon Maxwell. This is a heat engine that extracts energyjust out of nothing, just due to the possession of information. And this one- it took an hour to figure out that the information can be transmitted instantly. It was called teleportation. I'm interested in this work, because it was done by one of leading IBM specialists. There was a speech in it that you can manage parameters two scattered particles (moment and im- pulse) and they turn out to be interconnected nym. At one time, Einstein cited how an example of the incorrectness of quantum theory. Those. he said that the theory was not correct in principle ne, because a similar para- dox. And he actually took out the pot not from quantum theory, but from the entire building science, because the paradox was confirmed. The particle momenta are connected without time tracking. Those. - the concept disappears causality. Of course, in terms of science this is wonderful, but what will happen in return is unknown known. ZF> Yes, indeed, very interesting fact. But this begs the question: Do you attend scientific symposiums? Chita- do you eat specialized publications? N.> Information can be obtained in various ways in different ways, including very complex ones - mi. Let's say you are researching several co- completely independent, not tied in any way sources, and suddenly you discover one well, the same last name. I'll give you a specific one example: There is such a person - Pavel Amnu- spruce According to one source, he explores the se- ribbed clouds (I think these aremeteoizdat, I don't remember exactly); second - he writes an article on the generation of X-ray radiation in system of double stars; third fantasy creative stories of Pavel Amnuel, where he builds multidimensional worlds on mathematical abstractions. How does this relate to the atmosphere? earth swarm or with x-ray radiation? After analyzing all this a little, you can assume: this person is engaged X-ray lasers of the orbital ziring. This information cannot be called reliable, but its reliability is somewhere 80%. This is much truer than poking someone god man on the street and say "you're for- "You work with X-ray lasers." This the basis of any analytical approach, say Well, special services. ZF> There is a popular opinion that (C)Nemo - former submariner or paratrooper. Is it so this? N> No. Nickname to real life from- not wearing. But there is also something that is not real. life, and he has a direct relation to it sewing Nemo is "nobody". Operations with ta- which things lead to paradoxes. 0 this nothing, but at 0 different objects of a purely mathematical nature. Given an empty set, all ma- thematic objects, and this is especially are specified. That's the point. And to the facts of biog- This does not apply to raffia. As for paratrooper - this is very far from the truth. ZF> But you still had to serve in the army? N> Yes, and this is a positive thing. Fine,that I was able to test myself in extreme small modes. Staying in the army gives a lot to the century. The one who served will always see another serving in the crowd, for not serving there is no difference between those who lived. ZF> Many people will have a question - how to successfully How could you get into the army after studying at LIAP? N> This was not entirely true. I got into army at the institute. I was expelled on the 3rd course. After the army I finished my studies. And the situation was like this: I hit a man on a motorcycle, the person was admitted to intensive care. I've already dried crackers, I put aside my studies, naturally, and the man took it and recovered. And I got there instead of going to jail, go to the army. Actually I was not guilty, but there is such an article unintentional murder. That is, to me even the rights were given away, it was the man himself who was to blame century, but if he died... there would be It's my fault. ZF> Have you ridden a motorcycle? N.> This is a whole epic. I had 4 motorcycle. Two were stolen from me, one was stolen was in the trash, and managed to sell one. ZF> So there is no transport now? N> Now it’s too expensive, and it can A motorcycle is a thing that is simply rushes. With the current decline in morals, pressing a motorcycle is unrealistic. ZF> You didn’t hang out with famous companies biker niami? N> No, under no circumstances. I always I liked the “intimate” riding, alone, with at high speeds and away from the city. It's much nicer than jamming people sawn downmufflers. For me it's the other way around the motorcycle was very quiet, that's for me I liked it better. I really liked rushing along the dotted strip into the fog. Feeling that you are born again when you meet someone the trailer moves away with you. ZF> How did you end up at the computer market? N> At one time there were NTTM centers, their were headed by Komsomol members, and apparently for this reason they fell apart. They were cut off from reality and not viable. But nevertheless less when they appeared, they had order packages. When I smelled it I just came to the center of "scientific and technical- of youth creativity" and offered his services. What a person can do was not known readings. My task was this: on Lening- Radsk color printing plant to introduce installation that reduces the yield of defective deck of cards Incompleteness was considered a marriage - fewer or more cards in the deck. ZF> Was this already related to computers? N> I started trying different options you, and for me the best solution was the moose is a simple mechanical device, with complex processing algorithm. ZF> Minimum mechanics with maximum brain- gov. N> Exactly. It was necessary to arrange yours, who could keep statistics, count- avoid deviations and make decisions - YES/NO. For this I purchased the RK-86 board and based on it I made a device that in some way measured the height of those walking along the linedecks, compared with the average tistic and gave a signal to the operator, that there is a defect, with a probability of 0.9. ZF> Was this implemented? N> No. It all turned out like this: at that time computer topics were familiar to me purely theoretically, I had to spend a lot of time to collect information, and I realized that I would not meet the deadline. Then I I honestly called and said that I couldn’t make it. The project was transferred to other people, and they they built a barn there. ZF> And after that you got involved in production your RK? N> I was not involved in production. I them repaired. I've been trying for a while improve the Republic of Kazakhstan, and for the first time encountered with the problems of soldering irons, cases and etc. Then I realized that conceptual mistakes are very expensive if you try remove them with a soldering iron. Not in RK-shke system controller, respectively every swashbuckler shreds the address space How much is yours in vain? I just installed the system- controller and introduced the address space owls Then I recorded ROMs on the program matore of his own composition. Also RF-2. I was second in the market with this. Wrote a ROM for RK, for Spectrum. That's when I met Zonov for the first time. He was coming came to me and asked how much it cost write ROM for Spectrum. He needed write off a copy under 128 ROM. After how we didn’t agree on what format he will provide the data (he will give the ROM notwanted) we separated. ZF> How did you come to Spectrum? N> It’s just that most of the money came from repairs RK. More precisely, not repair, but adjustment. Then the situation was like this: the lamer took a soldering iron and I installed microcircuits on the board. He thought that this is the most important thing. The main thing was make it all work. And he went to Shine and for a reasonable fee gave meaning to his investments, and then boasted to neighbors that I made the computer myself. It became noticeable that RK began to decline, and Spectrum - on the contrary, up. Several thousand walked along the Shine Spectrum's. ZF> How did the meeting with the production take place? tvennikami? N.> I went to the “Young Technician” (the crowd in was there at that time) with a sign "setting Spectrum's". All manufacturers were adjusters are needed, but they offered meager new payment. Staszko simply suggested pain- above all, besides, he gave regular volumes. When I realized that not everything was right there... truly, in terms of circuit design, we have become cooperate and not only on adjustments. ZF> How did it actually appear on the market? Nemo company? N.> Well, it was such a cunning trick of the ear- mi... I was missing 3 million then to start my own production, and I I found them in a rather original way. There was a need in the market at that time for boxed kah. I contracted for this business, and stuck 50,000 boxes per week. Got it for this business is 3,000,000 rubles, a new first manufacturerSpectrum, and there are a lot boxes. Since then the production has been spinning KAY management. ZF> Can you be more specific - what is this business? with boxes? N> These were cases for PAL encoders. Semenyuk’s acquaintances stamped them, but for Presentability needed hulls. A since no one dealt with the boxes, but I was doing printing, they decided that I I can make boxes too. And really- but, I did some research and plundered his order at Kartonazhnik large batch, changing only the photomask us, so I didn't have to make my own mold. ZF> You can give a short lecture on the topic "How to organize production yourself" "vodstvo"? Because, alas, the majority people think that something is enough think and then shovel money. B at best, they will remember the initial capital tale. N> First of all, it is necessary to calculate focus only on yourself. This doesn't mean that you have to work alone, but never think that someone will be happy to help you. We need to look for options to make things work benefits all participants. It is important, of course, experience and connections. The ideal option is it's time - work in a company doing something similar and understand how it all happens dit. Now this is of course impossible - Spectrum's companies now have 2-3 people century. If there are more people in the company, it is doing something else, and Spectrum is coveror advertising. Misconception mother, that money is made according to the principle - he who dared ate it - so only money are stolen. Initial capital is required, but if not ideas about what should be done - in it there's no point. Capital is not money is working money. Those. day- gi must be nested in some kind of structure round, in connection, in circulation. Volume of circulating supply capital is a quantity that is not clearly defined divided. Firstly, it is smeared in time me, secondly - he cannot be clearly counted Ratings can only be given for large-scale production with a staff of eco- nomists. The smaller the company, the more difficult it is the amount of expenses is determined. ZF> Favorite topic on the other side of the counter: why so expensive?!!! After all, the price of “homemade” lok" they usually thought so - they took the price components and multiplied by 2. N.> The price consists not only of se- costlessness. There are overhead costs which includes, for example, depreciation or rental of means of production. Yes sales costs are generally from share of capital. We have to create provide cover so that this can be done give officially. It costs money - it usually costs taxes. Costs may carried either by the seller or the manufacturer himself - if the goods are given on commission. In general there are a lot of other expenses that are incurred manufacturer For example, warranty service. If II give a 6 month guarantee tsev, this means that if during this some time comes back to me cent cars, I have to repair them free. It's "free" of course. also included in the price. By the way, this is a definition shared quality guarantee - without doing I will burn out reliable cars. And all this on- called invoices. And when you see that your money is spinning, working without additional injections provide income - this is means that production has started. Turnover time, the value to which no ZF> So, how did the entry into computer business? N.> As we already said, it all began with RK-86, then with a more monetary theme - Spectrum started. As for Orion and specialist, then these topics were already seemed far-fetched to me. Next - how would it be - lo: we got along with Stashko, who had maximum revolution. He worked on computers terami Composite. He wasn't a developer but simply stamped cars using a photo template. He worked at minimal prices and, in part, unlike everyone else, he made money on defense those The turnover at that time reached its limit and gradually began to decline. And at the same time Zonov entered the market with his 256 ma- tire. At that time, many companies produced same thing, just a commercial approach was different. Developer not identified with a specific manufacturer. Stashko is there was a company called "Skim". There were a lot of companies and thisled to market expansion. Well then this whim began with those characteristics ristists, the public for some reason decided that need x-ki. Catch up and overtake. To somehow to stay on the market, they needed non-trivial steps. This step was taken by tire KAY-128. It was done in hard mode who has time pressure and minimal funding nia, because Volumes were already falling. According to this re- the decisions were half-hearted, in addition there was no neither the structure nor the ideology has been worked out - What needs to be done. And then they appeared some solutions that have shown their viability inability. In particular - we did not want make a single board machine with a controller. Then there were the first options with a tire. Co standing slot, which is all for some reason put, with 2 floors RU-5, the public, by the way you still think it’s possible to go there install RU-7, but they are buggy there, because This is not how synchronization works. ZF> Why didn’t we go the stamping route? Pentagon? After all, this was the first 128th ma- tire N.> Then everyone believed that capital should wives to concentrate in one place, for carrying out progressive projects. Zonov with his car they gave him the opportunity to get up from scratch. He didn't even have a negotiable capital, and for the first batch he borrowed next stall. When did stream 128 start? He started making software not only for the 256 car, but also a shadow person. Tenevik was then perceived as an investment for the future. But to feed those who sculptedPentagons, we thought not- correct policy. As a result, Zonov succeeded capture a large part of the market and switch rely traders on yourself. Then Stashko left from this market and got involved in securities - began to play on the stock exchange, and my subdivision accordingly, was left without funding syringing. So we decided something like this... something to do. Notified Stashko, and he said - go ahead. Development walked slowly. ZF> due to lack of funds? N.> yes, and not only. There was no plan. It was Only one thing is clear - to outdo those. x-ka- mi - this is not a solution, you need to do something about it the prospect of returns for years to come. Name- but then the machine began to emerge KAY-256. As for Semenyuk, he moved away from business, Stashko also gradually lost interest. The company began centrifugal trends. She simply fell apart. Stashko bought himself a PC computer, buh- Galteria has become opaque - it’s not clear what who does. And as for Zonov S.Yu. - he had completely unlimited new trust. He was a kind of symbol. The name he earned through his efforts there were traders selling his car just ready capital. It remained just convert it into money. What and was done. ZF> what does this mean? N.> Traders trading under his brand began to naturally rebuild - sit under it. But such a structure turned out to be unviable.He began gradually increase volume. And then, although of course it’s difficult talk about such matters, but I think - it was a conscious step, it began to destroy shake the market. And on this destruction to do money. Traders began to flee the market the structure began to collapse, as a result Zonov was left alone. By the way, this is sub- was also stated in Larchenko’s words - he said Real that they admit that in this market she and Sergei will be left alone. I'm in no way I don’t understand this approach at all, because the payment the form must consist of many elements cops and be a complex system. And exactly due to complexity, viability appears ness. And the result is a star-type structure - when everyone was tied to Zonov. Traders felt they were losing money and ran away. Those from whom the money was not returned ralli - poured them into other industries, into trade I take medications, for example. ZF> What is meant by “taking away money” neg"? After all, Zonov didn’t walk around with brass knuckles and didn't shake the traders? luring away clients that one? N.> Let's say there is some kind of trader. He gathers clientele, consolidates around yourself as an audience that is doing something. But he does this under the Zonov brand, i.e. Scorpion. This means that the entire public sooner or later it will move to the head company - it's just financing Scorpi- on. Why invest money directly in Zono- woo in your pocket? He did it cynically. I can give an example. In due timeI went to market with expansion boards for the bus. (with mole rats - "airplanes") and I was it was proposed to distribute them through Zo- new system. When I put out the price tag, he said it's not real. What am I to- vetil - you understand, it’s not just like that, there I have overhead (expenses). What for? Zonov answered - why should I pay? your invoices? I tried to explain that, having his own invoices, he did not earn there is more. But no, after a while he makes these cards himself, has the same characteristics okay and it turns out even more expensive than me- Nya. But here is a structure independent of it He doesn't like the market. Like this way. At the same time, they began to be used for the first time some new operating principles, e.g. - large-scale advertising. Few minimized the need for advertising outside of Spectrum, and above it. Advertising was carried out through "Radio Amateur", which he was involved in directly me. I can explain it in Why was there such a credit of trust? At that time many professionals believed that there would be It’s good if capital is concentrated hang out in one place for some global ballroom projects. Roughly speaking, it should be a serious striking force, where the battery funds are being diverted. She moves the Spectrum forward, thus allowing being to many small firms. But Zonov ta- which force did not become. It turned out to be easier to get infected make money on joiningstrangers structures. The public often thinks that the most the important thing is invention. Some invented The platform does not live in shadows. Very important structures. ZF> is it really his own developments? didn't matter? N.> I believe that these were already subsequent shi. They did not receive a powerful and comprehensive professional support. Essential they had no impact on the market. Well then is SMUC? Well, 1000 users. A green board with 2 slots and unnecessary at the same time the system connector? also 1000 users. These are crumbs. Efficient the size of the firm depends on the efficiency of the user interaction. Was one more sin. Classic yellow plaque but previously they were perceived as large breakthrough forward. But some things in mind large volumes have become ossified. Zonov was not successful elk force feeders to release power supplies with -12 V - for RS-232. On in fact, it is simpler (although more expensive) to install install a converter on the board to obtain these -12 V, rather than wait until all the power is tailors will support this innovation. In re- The result is an unpaid bill. RS-232 does not exist. Were made and not which things, say the system connector. By at first it was perceived as something half- residential. And it took me almost 2 Yes, to be sure in practice: it is impossible release no serial devices for docking into this connector, since it cannot be foldedmoose no standard for location boards in the case. And here the soldering began nickname And when the connection is made soldering iron - absolutely not important, where do the wires go - to the edge of the board or directly to the processor. Even on the processor more reliable - there is definitely contact, and if you make a mistake - It's more difficult. This means the connector is also empty waste of buyer's money. What else... Was advertising was placed on behalf of "Blesk" - workshop through which it is carried out KAY support. ZF> "Shine" still exists today? N.> Yes. I always base my calculations on the most worst case scenario, i.e. for example a car should work even if it falls from the 3rd floor. The same applies to structures - “Shine” post- designed so that it can work even with mini- small volume. So, it was posted advertising, through Larchenko’s book, about that the Scorpion can be turbocharged. Those. was an attempt to enter money specifically into Zonovsky project. Another thing is that they would already be some independent money. He doesn’t understand this I liked it. And under these 20 or 50 thousand the audience rushed to Seryozha, and he did it completely raw turbo expansion, although It was already clear then that it was impossible to do this. no - people were quickly supplied anyway this... . And I already said then that the car We can work twice as fast. Zones said it was impossible. In order to understand that this is impossible, it took me half a day year. And I realized what it isimpossible, the fact that Zonov is a monopolist. Make at least three times a good extension - people simply won’t know about him, because with such a monopolist, enter the market almost impossible. And "impossible" that's exactly why. One time at the stall he had a cart hanging that Scorpion (or Spectrum - these were already synonyms) It is impossible to overclock by more than 40%. B at that time my layouts worked at speed 70-80%. This is a typical example - you you place an advertisement and someone drives by it another. Users idolize Mr. Zo- new, bring money, as a result you can get board without doing anything. ZF> Let's take a break from your hobby, and Let's talk about (C)Nemo. There's a lot going on about you rumors One of the most common is "Nemo worked as a tuner for Zonov." N.> Well, let’s debunk a few cases how. I actually had orders from the company Zonov, but as an independent organization tion, i.e. - invoices were included there. It is not at all necessary that I myself have established shaft these boards. The important thing is that these were cases from company to company. And we served such orders until Zonov organized setting up at home. Moreover, I can to claim that it was I who taught Zonov how to set up pay the fees. Until the age of 93, every tenth the board was really buggy. stood there asynchronous RC circuits. To enlarge tolerances there it was necessary to install a trig- gerTM-2 531 series. This information was transferred to Scorpion. And lastly for- the task was to debug 60 boards, essentially - trash can, which could not be debugged kill him people. We accomplished this by receiving appropriate payment. And advertising Scorpi- ona, included in the advertising of "Shine", before 94-95 meant only one absence - twee at Zonov's support structures. Such There are no structures now. ZF> Next rumor: "KAY-256 is bad copy of Scorpion". N.> Everyone judges to the best of their ability - nia. It is difficult for a programmer to look at the ma- bus through the eyes of a circuit designer. For circuit design It's obvious that the cars are different. More In addition, KAY has a number of revolutionary solutions smells, such that there was no smell of Scorpion there - lo. But that was 93-94, when the public began to confuse Spectrum and Scorpion, and exit to the market with something that would be very different from Scorpion, it was simply impossible. But appearance and internal organization - these are different things. Actually exist simple procedures for determining distance differences between architectures. Take for example example, Scorpion, Pentagon, and KAY and re- read the types and series of microcircuits there. Sta- no, it is obvious that the architectural distance The difference between these models is approximately equal, and they are all different. Moreover, it is KAY's circuitry gave it the characteristics which Zonov could not achieve without the use of ALTERA opinions. This also applies to synchronous machine gun, andconverter on the board, and tires, and modular design... these "me- lochi" determined the further development of small tires. Although I can say that for now moment there is only one (1!) left in my car solution like in Scorpion. As for the non- which features KAY-128. He had for the first time AY is correctly connected, with blocks - flexible M1. At that time Zonov had a long chain of address decryption. From- known bottle test from LYRA-2 working melts in both cases, but without blocking writes "you have problems with interruptions." B KAY used to have a turbo mode. ZF> KAY-128 was turbocharged? N.> I mean TURBO-VG. It was first made in series. At the same time there was The effect of recording incompatibility was discovered. What’s interesting, Zonov, this is quickly edited Rav, got the same incompatibility. There were exits were found approximately simultaneously. But while Zonov was soldering snot on the circuit boards, I released- til the controller board with the correct TUR- BO-VG. ZF> If we raise the question of priorities, then in St. Petersburg the inventor of TURBO-VG is considered Xia MAX Romanov N.> There are several in people’s heads Blazhey. - Everything is decided by technical characteristics - ristics. - Invented by the one who invented it. - The concept of professionalism. The idea is not worth the money. It costs money to implement tion, at least until it will not start working within the platform we. This includes advertising, promotion, technologicalelaboration, explainer- work, writing matobes, organizing tion of maintenance/repair. Just something inventing it is pointless. The author is the one who brought it to fruition. Copyright protected It spares capital rather than providing boarding. Professionalism is not a qualification, but way of organizing work. If a person spends all his free time playing Spectra- mom, but works, for example, as a surgeon - he professional surgeon and spectral hack mist. A professional is someone who earns money through activity. Quickie- the worker may be even more qualified, than a professional, but he still occupies is hackwork. Returning to MAD MAX, we can recall KEMPSON MOUSE controller. I don't know who belonged to the championship, Max or Cond- Ratyev, however, I remember what happened next. Max began to develop this business, began to explain to people what a mouse is, what it does different from joystick; organized a pro- production; the mass of prog- ramm, i.e. software support is provided hold. What did Kondratiev do? He went to Zonov and received a board of 400 rubles. A when Max began to establish himself in the market Zonov came out with his controller and set pitched sales of Max, referring to Kondratieva. This is a typical action plan monopolist - wait until someone makes bark work, and then cut money for someone else pulp field. Here are the consequences of the myth that the author isthe one who came up with it. The author is who breathed life into the idea. ZF> Didn’t Zonov interfere with access to market so similar, even if only in appearance, on Scorpion cars? N.> No. Moreover, diplomatic wearing continued until 93-94. B publications of those years did not contain a single pada. Everything continued until he didn't refocus on PC using Spectrum is just an advertisement. He started shameless waste of resources. A before that time there was normal cooperation quality. In particular, I worked on it Ligraphy, then it was done by Peters. Before he was warned by the release of KAY, and he would- whether conditions were set that were ludens. These conditions were: Do not use the Scorpion logo. This suited me quite well, this is appropriate suited long-term plans. Show the diagram. Those. before release I showed him the diagram of the car, and it was approved. And as for counteraction - relation- industrial training for ordinary people They simply lie in another world. It is indirect Of course it was. He completely ignored my car, discredited me. etc. This created some difficulties. And Of course, this myth is that KAY was ripped off from Scorpion. Naturally, some ideas circuit designs are similar, but specific solutions nia are very far away. I'll tell you what's real work in Scorpion only 256 to memory and shadow worker Well maybealso digital fap, but this is no longer an architectural element ment. Tenevik is a different story. If you look at the company seal, there we will see: MOA & Scorpion, i.e. sub- It appears that MOA is an independent company. There was a conversation with MOA about put shadow on KAY. It would be possible it would be possible if he publicly stated that he did not objects. Of course he is completely dependent from Zonov, did not do this. And now he's in interesting situation - the monitor is swollen so much so that most of it has a place on screw, running OS. The shadow guy is dusty It tries to perform OS tasks itself. But the OS is not can be preserved permanently carrier. This completely eliminates any or working on the OS outside the parent company. The user can sign the patcher to screw, but will never be able to fix it himself ROM. ZF> Can you remember anything about Peters? N.> Honestly, I just don’t remember. Oh they have only one impression - this some astronauts who fell from the moon. And they still haven’t taken off their spacesuits. Such a complete disconnect from reality. It seems they understand little about Spectrum. It feels like they flew for a long time and tediously from the moon ;). What more can you say... KAY-128 was used by Ivan Mak for Peters' creation. ZF> But KAY-128, to put it mildly, is similar to "Leningrad". N.> KAY-128 was based on divorce-ka Composite. By the way, KAY-256 already has completely your wiring. Actually who ripped off what from whom is not a topic of gratitude - naya - after all, at the same time, everyone contributed and something of your own. ZF> Now both Scorpion and Peters are collecting boards on ALTERA, and KAY - well, just pro- duct of necromancy. Why is this so? N.> For all architectural solutions in Spectrum is paid by the user. You can under- swear by such "experiments" when there is a state with an oil industry behind you no pipe. You just need to find the "hole" in pipe and you can set at least ten PLMin. What is GMX? decimeter of the board, and on it like a loaf of healthy ALTERA. And it's worth it $40. Talk about it after the buck jumps it’s just funny, but back in the summer everyone was splashing saliva that it will be cheap. I'm even for a full-fledged computer made that kind of money - and a new user appeared. Needed do real things and don’t write them off as Due to advertising, the design is unprofitable. On In my opinion, Peters does just that. What their car is unprofitable, Noskov himself admitted, in a private conversation. He said that they were are trying to switch to payback, but I think I bet this isn't real. ALTERA is not suitable - for consumer goods. Such products should be transparent to the user so that even in the distant darkness of the cockroach, a man was able make repairs. ZF> All current manufacturers except you, (all two) clearly showed their technical nic policy -improve graphics and push Spectrum to Inet. You're not with them Do you agree? N.> Graphics are a routine issue. I I believed, and still believe, that “improvements” in graphics in the near foreseeable future it cannot be- zhet. Spectrum is a machine designed under the TV. I don't think he's a good fit directly to the TV - and it wouldn’t exist now, would have died out, like many other small- some cars. Graphics require a monitor. Even trying to improve the colors will result in that the new graphics will need to be reviewed play on a very high quality TV. Who can buy such a TV will be able to buy a more expensive computer. This after all, it’s not a video console, where is the information? figurative, a computer implies work with text material. ZF> Well, what about Inet? N.> Internet can be used as method of transmitting information between Spect- rum's networks. When connecting The direct price of the computer is not important - these constant payments sooner or later will cover the price of absolutely any computer ra. Therefore, do something in the hardware room Spectrum parts for connecting to the Internet - a pointless waste of the user's money. ZF> What are the plans for the next historical what period? N.> Release 1024 boards. Z-180 in connection With the collapse of the ruble it is too expensive. For such it is not yet possible to find a suitable car range of tasks. So for the near future - KAY-1024, and may continueex- technology port.
