z88 — ZXNet «zx.spectrum»

From Aleksey Kosenko To All 2 March 1998

Hello All!

I recently downloaded the z88 emulator, someone needs it.
Very cool thing. There are 2 emulsions, for DOS and for Windowsa
For DOS it is not fully functional, there is no loading of cartridges
And there is also complete documentation for it and a set of programs.

See you soon, All

Hello All!

z88 is one of the latest varieties of Spectrum.
Now it has turned into a pocket version
Small case with a crystal screen-matrix of approximately 60 lines by 8 lines
Standard keyboard
Z80 processor
Power from 4 baht. size AAA-10 hours.
Memory 128 k
3 slots for 1mv cartridges.
Available:
Diary-apparently a text editor
PipeDream-'Trig Functions'
Basic-bbS bASIC (Z80)vERSION 3.00 (c) cOPYRIGHT R.T.Russell 1987
Calculator - everything is clear
Calendar - also
Clock-clock
Alarm-alarm clock
Filer-working with cartridges and memory
PrinterEd-printer settings
Panel-system settings
Terminal-something like a terminal
Imp-Export-working with receiving and transmitting files cable
Z-Help
Z-macro-not available.
GrapHics-for plotting graphs
Utilites-not very clear
it remains to add that this development is very good and it has
a future, although everything is very slow (emulator) - but this is the first version
z88 Emulator v1.01.
All this was downloaded from the Internet. About 2.6 mb.
You can find it using the search engine Yahoo or altavista sercH:z88
It remains to add that I understand it and read numerous documentation.
There is a lot of it.
And the first impressions of the emulator and it z88, that everything is not done very
well. In the sense that it is very difficult to understand it.
I saw a glitch in the emulator - after installationdates, crashed SC4.0.
And windows is terribly buggy - it slows down.
PS: the emulsion is written in PASCAL!!!!
If anyone needs the emulsion, I’ll send it, but not all the way - it takes a lot
See you soon, All

From Max Romanoff To All 6 March 1998

Aleksey is that you?
...why did you tell everyone about the z88?

AK> A small case with a crystal screen-matrix of about 60 lines for 8

60 characters for 8 lines, right?

AK> Processor z80

and since when, then what, on z80 is a Spectrum?

AK> Diary - apparently a text editor

this, apparently according to the dictionary - a diary, diary.

AK> Utilites - not very clear

utilities :)

it has no future. Palmtop PC with winCE is now in fashion.

Good Luck...

... My software never has bugs. It just develops random features.
