UKV 1.0 and 1.2 — ZXNet «zx.spectrum»

From Igor Gruzdev To All 20 September 1997

Hello, Andrew!

It’s quiet outside the window, and I’m sitting and writing a response to a letter written from Andrew Garavsky to
All Thu Sep 18 1997 at 20:33...

AG> What a trouble. I had UKV 1.0. I read the old Sinclair
AG> disks. Not everything, however, but I read it. It had to be launched with the key -d255

[blurred by rain]

AG> things never progressed beyond this achievement. :((( So, can anyone
AG> advise? The disk flop is old, Russian, he worked hard on Sinclair. In the bios
AG> it is registered as 1.2 MB, although he has never seen them in his life, well, you know our
AG> series 53?? .

What for ukv v1.2 read real ones floppy disks? Anything else on a screw/disk image and work for yourself without feeling any problems with the GMD.

With all kinds of regards and wishes.
Igor.

... Where do wise old people come from, where are young people so stupid?

No, no, no! Not a TV disc! This is written in the FAQ, but so be it:
1) hobeta.com to disk, then zcop/zxtools/zxutil/etc to trd (then in fdi)/fdi
2) with the Shalaev emulator in trd then converted to fdi
3) zximage in trd is then similar to the previous one.
Whatever, you can read from a floppy disk and shove it into a disk image in many
ways.

SP> Wouldn’t it be cool - from a real disk (Fast, not Fast - it doesn’t matter) and in FDI :)

Hehe, how else would files from the spectrum get to the disk image? ;) That's exactly how they get there. With variations.

Well, you’re in vain - reading real floppy disks is very good, I remember on the subject
