 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 :).                       
                                          
 Ps: Quorum phone number:                
  8-3432-23-57-73, ask Nikolai Va- 
silyevich.
