nowadays it’s easy to get confused even
if your choice fell on this type
computers like ZX-SPECTRUM, but

analogue of this machine, and if you live in
Novosibirsk, then most likely you will buy
some locally assembled computer. We
Let's focus only on the most common
options that “take place” in
Novosibirsk, and we will also try to find out
which one is most suitable
a novice user, and which
artist, coder or musician.

PULSAR and Sibstar.
C>B FORUMe non-standard ROM firmware,
that's why some programs don't work on it
go, for example STS, and the pros are
high-quality board, opportunity
print from the operating system, although
other programs do not support
built-in print driver.
Sibstar - difficult to repair due to
technical glitches: there are a couple of microcircuits,
which cannot be replaced, and although they fly
they are quite rare, no matter if they are mikruha
flew, then it’s time for the computer to go to the landfill. A
the pros are that it’s probably well made
video output
PULSAR is the same Leningrad, only
slightly redesigned, but that's what glitches are
