Future! - fantastic ideas for improving the Speccy.

********************************
Under this heading there will be published
there are ideas for improving the Speccy,
which will lead to
one fine day is our great
and invincible by anyone SPECCY      
will become even more invincible and  
more cool than it is now.
Just imagine:      
Light stands before the gaze    
fog, so to speak a light haze, 
but it doesn’t stop you from indulging
dreams, no, she just adds 
a bit of romance in what you saw  
your dreams.        
On the color screen of your TV     
METALL MUTANT game is running (with EGA   
graphics,0f course)         
Well, this isjust for example, but you can
go further:         
DOOM or MORTAL COMBAT....      
The amplifier is bursting from the abrupt end   
four-channel Mouzon and     
the same cool sound effects -
ov.                  
You quickly move your fingers  
I don’t blow on the keyboard at all
washing yourself about what you are playing     
such a cool game, of course    
there is a drop of pride in yours  
form (after all, you play DOOM!) 
Silk!!! Occurred in the brain    
click and you're back insad reality...  
But everything described above is quite     
possible: if hung on      
SPECCY eight megabytes of memory,  
turbo it, stick video 
processor from dandy and...        
of course SOUND DRIVE! how 
without it, there are four on it    
channel audio.     
K SPECCY can also be connected 
additional Z80 processor !! 
(Easy example: playing ELITE 2 
 and cool plays from AY-8910/12  
 DIGITAL MUSIC !!!! ,or     
game time quietly running disco 
water and with the same readout speed  
shows data )           
also so as not to be modest to 
SPECCY is simply necessary under-   
enable math processor 
, if available, it will be possible 
cool vector graphics work-  
melting without any tables and with    
very fast speed....     
Yes, rainbow dreams are nice,  
but maybe soon    
turn some of these dreams 
comes into pure reality.        
Let's say the Video Processor is already     
connected, SOUND DRIVE already      
exists and is written for itmusons.       
Our specialist conducts    
connection diagram development    
second Z80 to SPECCY.           
Not weak?  Of course we are     
we can be proud of in our country  
so this is a remarkable mind!  
Who are the smartest people?          
Of course they are Russian! (related to them - 
there are also other nationalities   
which were previously included 
USSR )        
is it really not our minds 
we cando such nonsense as 
Mathematical processor ?    
We can do it, as soon as we can!         
If one of you has already developed - 
if there was something original, then  
send to us if this is something 
amazing, we will send the diagram   
via its channels to Moscow.      
 ***               
In this article it is not a sin to touch on 
ordinary topic: Should I leave    
Speccy for a cooler car? 
The answer to this question may be 
different depending on the situation
where you live:        
If you are only a player and don’t know how
even open and insert immortal-
tie inthe simplest bootloader then
Of course the issue can be resolved    
very easy and not in favor of SPECCY
, yes, you can go to IBM, but 
you can run an emulator on it 
Speccy, which even comes in      
IS-DOS !          
But if you are a programmer then   
here the question is more difficult: Leave with      
Spectrum completely or not to leave 
forever.                
Logical if you have it in your pocket    
money is found and you are in a state- 
or buy an IBM for a thousand   
green, then of course buy it  
but 99% of 100, which is more time  
a cool computer will be busy    
playing CD games.           
Lone programmer at IBM, this is 
not only makes you laugh, but also
seems like a moron when you realize it 
what is Copyright in Russia   
there will never be... and there never was...
Make cool stuff for free on IBM  
toy?  Yes, it is capable of this   
only a purely Russian person!!!
But there are few of them.         
So the conclusion suggests itself that   
it's better to buy a video recorder, or else 
something needed around the house. 
I can give myself as an example.    
Half a year ago (if rounded up to
tenths) I was the main one  
BLACK EAGLE Company. In our    
the composition included: three encoders, one   
hacker, two artists!          
And at the very peak of steepness, I  
suddenly decided to buy IBM, but     
initially I abandoned SPECCY,
completely abandoning it (after   
what Black Eagle company developed - 
poured) I realized that before
I'll save money for IBM, it will pass 
at least a year or a year and a half!       
And you know I was overcome by this 
nostalgia for Speccy!          
This is something indescribable, realizing that
I won't have it for the next year and a half   
IBM is shining, I decided to return to  
Speccy, I started by going
to a friend and read the ZX-REVIEW for 96 
year. Having re-read it twice I    
realized that Spectrum is notthinks  
die in Russia, and for these half- 
he has only gained new strength,
and now, having returned, I am very 
I regret that so much was lost in vain  
time !                
I hope you are now before 
throw Speccy carefully
maete and try not         
make the same sad    
errors.                         
 ***              
It's time to talk about the modem- 
no connection to SPECCY!           
Not long ago, I read twenty    
issues of the Moscow weekly 
th modem newspaper: ON-LINE !   
Honestly, so amazing   
news like BBS on our SPECCY 
, I haven't heard.                   
Having learned that Moscow is in full swing 
life on our good old    
SPECCY, I went to the trans- 
and I really regretted that I didn’t live in  
Moscow. How much Tomsk has lost 
, what a shame!  In any city
where there are so many hackers and programs - 
ists that even list the words
it's good. But in Tomsk, that's all   
will be typed from some ten-  
current. And most importantly, everyone creates
one by one, or two by two!        
Calling all Tomsk programs - 
ists, Hackers, Musicians, Khudo- 
zhnikov, game specialists and  
Hardware (electronics on SPECCY)  
let's unite into one     
a huge team and we will create - 
together! The more it will be    
people in our company are about - 
will make cool and bigger ones- 
these programs.                   
By joining our ranks, you or smo- 
you can receive new software completely  
free or with significant cost  
discount. We have connections with     
with such cities:      
Moscow, Krasnoyarsk, Novosibirsk! 
Oh, these cities have connections with   
other cities, that's all    
new products are coming to our city. 
Soon editorial journal-  
Nala will also have a modem 
and will open the first BBS in Tomsk.  
I don’t know, but whether there will be a return 
or not, but trying is not torture!
