The problem is for manufacturers, not hackers, and finally, in times of lack of
standardization (of which there was), it is wrong to talk about compatibility problems.
It is also wrong to say “incompatible”, but correctly “incompatible with
the Pentagon, branded specialists, quantum, Nathan, ATM, etc.)!

What’s bad about the sound of AY?

Every person shouldmake the choice yourself! There is no comrade for taste and color! (folk
wisdom.)

Why give up Speccy and run to the Amiga? Wrong topic for

And UFO 1 & 2 for example? What about Star Heritage? And finally, an Amiga is an Amiga, and a Speckie
is a Speckie!

With respect, Alex from FFC COMPUTERS.

Get Msg, Maksimov!

2AJ: see how the Pentagon costs immeasurably. What can we say about the Scorpio!
Spectrum is a prestigious car for the rich :))

Warm greetings, Slava!
