By the way, in Sprintere you can project memory into 4 windows! And also have about 11 Scorpios in memory
so if you hang it on a gadget that, after
a certain quantum of time, saves everything on one scorpion and restores
another - what is not multitasking.

It’s only less sincleristic, that’s because there are beautiful graphics on all sides,
cool sound, and they are forced to be content with 8 square colors. :(

I put the smiley in vain :), then I was in a bad mood and I
shared my gloomy thoughts with Slava. And as for cooperation, the Peters
don’t mind.

And who will be on the Sprinter? Sprinters or Petersburgers? ;) Speaking of sound... AY
at least leave it!
PS: What colors will be on the Sprinter? :)

Well, what will they call it, by the way, Sprinter-97 is the working name in the Spectrum
Progress
magazine (there is one, though it’s not very widespread:( ) a competition has been announced for the best name
for a new computer, a prize, either a board or a computer, I don’t remember right now.
And as for the Aushka, they wanted to remove it, but then this started happening :) what I had to leave
a place for it; anyone who needs it will get their favorite AY without any problems. And this despite the fact that
Sprintere will (most likely) have a built-in 8-bit 8-voice sound card with
the possibility of expansion. Sprinter is generally easy to upgrade, even if the entire
circuit is plowed - it's a matter of minutes.
DG> PS: What colors will be on the Sprinter? :)
I said “beautiful graphics from all sides”, and they will be.
