Standardization...
Which, it seems, should have been touched already
topic discussed. But no, there is more here
There are many aspects that need to be discussed.
Now it’s not 93-96 and there’s no need to invent
something new - everything is already there. This is, for example-
mer, a Pentagon computer, which apparently
and established itself as a standard. As standard
use the following characteristics:
- Int 71680 ;
- 128 kilobytes of memory;
- Tr-dos 5.04T;
- Ay-8910.
But the question is: why is this
the computer was recognized as a standard, not
for example Profi or Scorpy or
Pentagon+ЗShit?! Just in due time he
received the necessary distribution when
yes, many inexperienced users buy
Pali Spec-compatible computer.Okay, let's assume thatInt 71680is the best
shy int and I also agree that it is selected
for the standard. But why 128 kilobytes of memory?
tee selected, not 256?! Because now it's
already almost standard - for example in Ekaterin-
Bure Quorum 256 is considered a standard, and
not buggy, unlike its downgraded one
relative Is it possible on a 128 computer?
sift and hack programs without damaging
them?! No. From here it is time to conclude that
128 kilobytes are becoming a thing of the past and it’s time to
forget them.
Now let me ask you,
Why was it chosen for working with speck?
system Tr-dos. I mean, it’s not even selected
wound, and the method of its butting is chosen. Yes-
Now everyone sculpts as he wants, and for some reason
they do not work on some buggy computers (program
we). Why not choose a standard system
CP/M-80 (meaning version 3.4T, not
2.2). Firstly, it works from a snapshot-
any format, secondly, it is semi-pro-
professional, and thirdly, over the disks
its format can be distorted, so much
as many as come into your head and you do nothing
you won’t lose from this, because, prog-
rammly changing some parameters in it
kernel, you can work with sectors of your own
its format and its procedures. Not bad -
the main thing is not necessarysuffer. I understand that
Not everyone has this, but why not fix it?
solve this small problem by calling
company `Quorum` in Ekaterinburgand having understood
all the problems, if you are interested in this -
foxed Or more precisely, from my own slightly
wretched Pentagon you can by changing your
ROM and slightly modifying the controller. I
I don’t suggest parting with tyrados,
read the Iron section in the last issue -
re and you will understand why you should have
I have such a computer.
Now a little about projects. System
Info-dos we might be
develop, will represent
system that will work with files
type Cp/m, but in a new form with optimized
bathroom access to sectors (this will be
work faster than tr-dos turbo) and re-
nal representation of the file length. Shell
ka system that will be a complete analogue
turbocharged system zx-windows`98. She
will not be able to work in dual-tasking mode,
and in pseudo multitasking, which will allow
you have several files in memory new
th format - .exe. The system (or rather its
shell) will have to work with disks
systems ms-dos, tr-dos. What benefits does
ate an even wider range of activities.
Working with disks in the tr-dos system will be
be produced inhobeta system.
But for now it's only well painted
a project that has not been turned into reality. Yes
that we still have to work and work, but for you,
Dear Speck users, we need to blow
swear at the environment where you are all now
hang out and think about something more
new and promising.
Until then, bye :).
