The fourth issue of Optron opens with a discussion on the role of free media and the expansion of the ZXNET network across the CIS. Technical articles cover the evolution of Spectrum modem software and a deep dive into the hidden Z80 IMR2 register for shadow monitor development. The discussion column explores the platform rivalry between the ZX Spectrum and PC through a reader's letter from the Baltics. The issue is rounded out by an excerpt from a Stephen King horror story and a collection of community classifieds.
