28 Dec 2002 Download

The tenth issue features extensive correspondence between users and developers regarding ZX Spectrum hardware upgrades, including ROM firmware, General Sound expansion cards, KAY-1024 boards, and IDE controllers. Readers discuss operational issues ranging from disk boot failures and screen printing techniques to iS-DOS configuration and custom enclosure fits. A significant portion of the correspondence reflects the economic realities of the 2000–2002 scene, covering mail-order delivery delays, software piracy, and distribution challenges of independent fanzines. The issue concludes with critical articles by Viacheslav Skutin (Nemo) analyzing community information policy and summarizing publications in Radiolyubitel magazine.
