A small XO about Sprinter and other bells and whistles.

From Evgeny Onishko To All 17 January 1998


Hello, noble sirs!

Since you are doing such a cool thing, leaving the REAL Spectrum
as a poor (no, perhaps even a BEGGAR) relative, then why not
put there at the same time a Pentium processor, 32 mega memory, to this add at least
S3 Virge with some kind of 3D accelerator, put Microsoft Ergonomic
keyboard (or whatever it's called), and for added show-off, connect VFX-1? And OS-Win'95?
I, of course, am with all hands and feet for the development of new GOOD domestic
computers (and in my opinion quite competitive for their class), but seeing
that this is a Spectrum mutant, I somehow feel uneasy.....
In the end, the power of a small four, but they call it a clone Spectrum!
And, by the way, don’t forget CD Drive! How can this be? What kind of Spectrum clone is this, with
4 mega memory and no CD? Yes, and without a gigabyte hard drive it will be uninteresting....
Well, and the price. If it (in the sense of the base fee) is higher than 400 tyres, then I give my hand
to cutting off, not many will be able to buy the device. And VERY not many.

But this was only my XO, small, inconspicuous, modest XO.

Imho, if someone needs it, let them do it,let them buy. Why not? There was a megabyte Pro - who bothered?

Evgeny is that you?
...why did you tell everyone about the Small XO about the Sprinter and other bells and whistles. ?

As for power, I would say that this power is no more than 286.

Good Luck...

Let's not forget. :). :)

It would have blown!

MR> As for power, I would say that this power is no more than 286.
Not direct power, but by analogy.
It seems to me that 286 this is something like an ATM Turbo or, there, a Scorpa Turbo.
And this mutant is a la 486 SX-33


MR> Good Luck...

by analogy even less. The percentage is 8-bit.

don’t confuse different things.

Good Luck...
