This is a crooked release, not all levels and no final kata! Find the version of Progress!

This is in the echo, there is no need to clog up the echo like this, because Every spektrumist (almost)
should have this in his personal collection.

Already fixed, it works on Tridents, ALI and others.
When I finish the INI file I’ll upload v0.11b

To begin with, there are two turbocharger schemes: 1. The leftmost (bad) one, which
you ran into. Symptoms: a disk formatted on this controller, when you try to write a sector to it on a non-turbo controller, this sector is completely demolished. 2. Normal, everything works like on a non-turbocharged engine, but the speed is higher. The bottom line is that the double frequency is available on the VG93 only when reading, and when writing it is instantly blocked. Look for the controller modification scheme in the Review, it was developed by Kiril Gromov (CHANG from FFC).

P.S. Before using the disk written on the left controller, this disk
you just need to restore.

With respect, Alex from FFC COMPUTERS.
