Help me choose...
ZXNet echo conference «zx.spectrum»
From Evgeny Onishko → To All 6 April 1998
Hello All.
People!
I have a problem! I'm here to build myself a civilian computer
(the correct one, not like this 486 thunderbolt!), and I can't decide which one to
assemble.
The following choice is available -
1) Scorpion 256
2) ATM Turbo
3) ZX-Sp 48 - not laugh, it’s just that my heart goes to him the most...
*Judging by the current situation, then Scorpio is, of course, better. But I’m not
going to use MagOS and the like, i.e. It turns out that I take it only
to use a 3-inch flop-eater (honestly, I would put 5
inches, but I don’t have it at hand). And connecting all sorts of DACs myself... And Centronix
is a little difficult to program (I don’t remember why, but something with the strobe)
*judging by the essence of the computer, then I like the ATM Turbo better. It seems like you can connect an MFM hard drive, there are DACs, an ADC - and I don’t need anything else. Yes, and a modem with a built-in. And it seems easy to program. But the protocol is purely its own :(
*If you listen to the “voice of the heart” then I really want a ZX-48 with Tape Strorages
and a floppy drive like an “appendix”. But you can’t use a modem there... Well, in
the program doesn’t seem to work. And the 3-inch floppy drive somehow
works incorrectly...

Shoito is not working correctly! Everything works great, you connect 5 in parallel and everything
should work.
And modems seem to have to...
As I understand it, “the voice of your heart” would give you more headaches. Collect Leningradka
and modify, modify... hang, redo... but you will have fun
time (in a certain sense).

To be honest, that’s what you’re here for The list is complete bullshit (in my opinion) The best thing is PROFI, just not some fancy one, like a board 5.0 and higher, but a regular board 3.2 and everything will be ok. I've had it for 6 years now and I haven't had any problems with compatibility
and chip it with whatever you want, it even has a connector for that...

For this I say goodbye, Oleg.

Everything is good, but the price is a little less than 100 dollars...
It's sad. For me, at least.

Rens? Is this somewhere in the Tatooine area?...

ps.: I have HDD and GS512 left!

It looks like in a different place.
These rectal citizens immediately remind me of candles. Medical. Which
are shoved into... in general, it turns out indecent...
2Ivan: no offense? Could you at least explain which place you mean...

Ivan is that you?
...why did you tell Evgeny Onishko about Help me choose...?
IM> 4) Sprinter
oh, you already sell blank boards, and everything else can be bought in the
crowd, right? interesting... Or now 'assemble' does not mean what it used to
before, but simply as usual: twist it in a case.?
Good Luck...
