Scream.

Hello everyone, I'm here again about
Sprinter. The fact is that I listened
to one person and decided to try to impose
my point of view on the new
computer.
If you look at the development of the computer field (a novice user), then
you can note several steps in its
development.The first distinctive feature
distinguishing between a gameboy and our user is
the platform on which he began (or
ended:) his computer life. Let us
assume that he started with a certain
set of chips (dead cockroaches),
which were called approximately like this:
ATARI, SPECTRUM, MIKROSHA (complete perversion
with 16K memory), or something similar.

Yes, I dipped deep, well, okay
let's move on to the N'th stage, when it is already
crowded in the graphic screen of 6912 bytes,
in absolutely left page addressing
(lots of ports: in Scorpio 2, and in the new one there are already 3!)
when he becomes unbearably jealous
when he looks at the system of subdirectories
at the color calculator (which, having gone crazy,
accelerated to a speed of 233 km/h) again and again
receives a message that there are
too many files and at the same time watch
the inscription "free: 1200 sec", and when this
sorting out a bunch of perversions with a form factor
5'25 inches (without envelopes: tired)
remembering where he buried ZXWORD to
type a letter and not finding it loading
ZASM writes thisa letter (I already forgot about
what), etc.
And then, when the GREAT susps finally
opened their stations, he tries to call at least one of them (by dialing the number
on an old disk machine with a broken
ear (limiter) and in the end, spitting
on everything, sits down at the old one (where is the new one??)
ZASM tries to fix it for himself mood
having written some kind of virus - and then
failure: the written virus, realizing where it
is located, commits suicide during compilation
and on its lips the last words are: #%$&##.
A gloomy picture of two hours of work, isn't it
true?
But then, like the light at the end of the tunnel, a
rumor appeared.
Let's compare. For starters Spectrum remains.
This is a fact, not everyone can immediately
move to a higher level. This is where ENVY
will appear, who
looking at those who were able to cross
across this abyss (mainly within
themselves) work with IDE devices
(Windows HDD, CD-ROM), with memory
4 Mb, 14 Mh with smart hardware, and the most
most important thing: he can tell the developers
what he wants from them in the new version
of the computer (fortunately, the circuit is based on
special microcircuits of reconfigurable logic and
the new version can be installed by replacing them)
The beauty is that with our
support the company can and will
DO NEW!!!
By the way, I want to tell you a little about the
X-competitor, that is, scorpi. My opinion
is that in scorpi there is
only oneplus: MONITOR. A few words
about it. Firstly, the professional extension is
an attempt to develop someone's good idea
(meaning the monitor), which
ended in complete failure. But after
that they also tried to put IS-DOS into
the ROM!!!. Perverted. The monitor itself
has changed little since then it
was released in '93 (approximately).
And this is necessary, since 93 all they
did was that they created a bunch of glitches (versions
of the monitor and you pay for each), and some
new board (sense?). And now they
made a new glitch: read as realities
its description, laugh (good anecdote:
I recommend).By the way, tell me how they
organized the work with the screw? (I'll leave
for later, this is another anecdote :).
Well, okay, let's laugh and that's enough. But then
we need to leave it.

And now let's move on to arithmetic. So
if we take the most popular comper in St. Petersburg-Scorpion, then we can calculate that:
a new scorpion costs 500-700 tr.
a screw controller costs 100-120 tr.
an IBM keyboard controller costs 50-70 tr.
(by the way, a writing keyboard will most likely
become a de facto spec, since keyboards
with 56 buttons are no longer produced a long time ago, 48 are outdated, and old stocks 56
cost about 50 thousand rubles)
the keyboard itself is 50-60 thousand rubles
the mouse is 40 thousand rubles
and in total it turns out..about 740 thousand rubles.
For comparison, the sprinter has already determined the upper price limit: 700-900 t.r.
But at this price it containsthere is:
1. Minitower case with power supply
2.SIM with either 1MB or 4MB of memory
3.Built-in controller 2*IDE
3.Built-in PC keyboard controller
(and most likely rats, I won’t lie)
4.A completely new board
(not a new remake of the 48 machine, but a new
Spectrum development compatible machine)
5. Let's not say what the new
board can do, this is a topic for a separate conversation

Here is the main question: where to look?
back or forward?

people, if you are interested in this topic,
I will be happy to start a discussion with you
(in my free time), write the answers in
an acceptable form :)

CONTINUED SHOULD.

end.

Sincerely, Andrey.
