NUUUU! Why is it so liquid?

May Allah grant you the wisdom of the ruff and the beauty of the monkey, All!
> DISC!
Why are we so reluctant to write about the disk, huh?
That’s a sensible proposal!
Imagine, having a disk with a bunch of programs and utilities, you will free up space on the hard drive,
you won’t have to look for programs, Spectrumists will be jealous ;-)
What about the last one:
why not try to attach the drive to the Scorpio ID controller or
let's say a pro and write a program?
Spectrumers will be in seventh heaven, in my opinion.
Or even better, make a Panasonic interface, or some other substandard in
IBM hard, but so that there are cheap drives ?
Of course, you can skeptically say ~boozy. Spectrum will die soon~ but after thinking sensibly, I came to the conclusion that if there are people ready to buy a sprinter for
250 $ (that is, with a monitor, etc.) then they will want to connect the sit drive
Of course, there is no information on the disks for the Spectrum, but is it difficult to do?
My Vertos 100 (substandard in IBM ;-) would be perfect for these purposes:
1) Cheap
2) The interface is relatively simple
3) Decent reads
4) In addition to everything, he also plays the muse!
So think, techies, think!
However, it wouldn’t hurt for programmers to think about the ID drive either.
For quick communication with me, you can call 230-7409

Good afternoon (morning, evening, night), Evgeny!

Elementaaarno...
That means like this:
You take the _tape_ versions of the toys, copy them from the tape recorder to the compact,
then you connect the voltage to the CD, and plug the output from it into the tape in
Speccy. Everything is loaded, the tape is not cut, then you can convert the game to disk. :))
Bye, Vladimir :)
... Now you can turn off the computer's power...
