a curious letter that reveals the history

  Greetings, dear readers (and

that in the third issue of my newspaper I will touch upon-

  First, some historical data.

Bo program and return to yourself after pressing

installations, which is called one short

The use of a resistor system for these purposes

was possible due to its specificity
and the size of the conservation program - kilo-

  Therefore, it was decided to create an additional

  In the end (whose only?) I will cool the burning
the imagination of the reader of this opus, his own
piled up technical requirements
to the machine for installing the resident system:

   Memory - 512K and above
   Regeneration is forced and permanent

it is interrupted :[ )
   Expanded memory ports - the more

   ROM firmware - BASIC 128&TR-DOS version

  Interested parties, if any
in general they will :-(, they can contact my
offical dealer - Muse. (his phone number is
in the advertising section). I immediately warn everyone

great support (mine anyway)
not free at all!!!
    A mutually beneficial exchange is possible ;-).

 Personal appeal to people who haveKempston Mouse and/or computer RAM 512K
and higher: If you have programs for re-
made for a mouse or extended memory
(only our own developments are of interest,
remixes, etc.  there are well-known
so) let's change. You can contact
rez Musu, because I live quite far away
from Tashkent.

  A small request to the editors - to make
own viewer for text or take
it from ZX-News, and if you use
Text Designer, then at least version 2.0.
