Led various modifications to the evolution

The final modification was an evolutionary development

you can read in this issue in the new
section "Blackcat Girl".
Domestic cloning
The topic of documenting old technology, how
Surprisingly, it is gaining new supporters.
Comrade rukzak joined Vslav in
case of reverse engineering ULA 6C001E6,
having already laid out more than half of the diagrams
logic blocks involved. But because this is
happens on ZX.PK.RU, then look for the topic in
the "Iron" section is useless, because it
is located in the "Press" section, which is for this

Enthusiasts also invite assistants
to check the circuit compliance and
topology to make sure that
nothingmissed. Useful work
Well done! For example, I immediately looked at the type
CK/ signal output, and with satisfaction
noted that my assumptions about
this output were confirmed, and from the ZXBus
you can actually stop the bloat
processor, completely painless
dropping the CK/ signal to zero :). you
ask why I didn’t look in the book
Chris Smith? Honestly, I don't trust
by this British scientist talking about
rental of microscopes for $500 per hour and research
of the Ferranti archives. Is it our business?
people opened it themselves, figured it out themselves,
the results were made publicly available -
profit! Well done, this is our way! And without
quotes about elite British
microscopes and available in British
Let's study the archives :). And by the way, my distrust
it didn’t let me down, because as my friend noted
rukzak: "Based on the results of the restoration
schematic diagram it turns out that
there are differences from the block diagrams,
given in Chris Smith's book."
So let's raise our glasses to the new year
comrades rukzak and Vslav had more
free time for them, so useful
for the hobby community! For all the apparatchiks,
comrades! :)
Mick's efforts to convert boards into P-CAD
old computers are gradually being given away
results. Pavel Ryabtsov released the game
boards of the computer updated by Mick
Sprinter 2000developed in-house
Peters Plus by Ivan Makarchenko aka Ivan
Mak/WingLion. Updated Sprinter board
2016s have ATX power instead of AT, and
possibility of installing a PS/2 connector for
keyboard. Otherwise, the changes affected
only the element base:

Those wishing to purchase a board and a set of computers
Lecturers should hurry up, the number
as always limited.
Let's raise a glass to all computer
archaeologists preserving for us and returning
bringing to life the legacy of our computer
stories!
This year, April 9th, marks 5 years.
how the Sprinter developer passed away
Ivan Makarchenko, and it’s very nice that
his memory is preserved in revived
life of his developments. Let's remember our
comrades who are no longer with us!

The Kickstarter epic is nearing its end
ZX Next. Most of the boards have already been sent out.
to everyone who ordered them without a case.
Those who ordered an assembled computer, due to
There will still be production delays, as
wait at least a couple of months, so
You definitely shouldn’t wait until the end of March.
NEXT SD CARD has been updated to v.0.7, it contains
the project core has been updated to v.1.10c,
NEXTOS updated to v.1.92d, and FIRMWARE to
v.1.04c, although, apparently, this is far from
latest update.Kicked out of the project
all mentions of the announced SID, on

time to bring it to mind. However,
it is almost impossible to bring SID to mind
without the high cost of emulating it
analog part, and still no one
managed to implement its authentic
sound, without which there is no
sense in this idea. Probably up to the author
ZX Next this simple truth has just arrived,
which cannot but rejoice - it’s better late,
than never! :)
Unfortunately, my dreams of
that the New Year will come, and with a fight
chimes I will see reviews of all that hardware and
software announced on kickstarter
ZX Next. I'm afraid this process will drag on
for months. However, there is also Chinese
New Year, let's wait for it, maybe at least
what software will come in time :). Next year is the year
dogs, and Spectrum was born in the year of the dog,
I hope this year will be the same year
Spectrum :).
