Everything was cured with the correct location of the files on the disk, I already wrote about
this.
I made conclusions a long time ago: a virtual Spectrum is also a Spectrum!
The prerequisites are that any “digital thing” is implemented
hardware and software :)
Simply natural The Spectrum, which by the way has many faces, sets what the
virtual Spectrum should be.
With the advent in a couple of years of programmable logic chips that are at least an order of magnitude
cooler than now, at the same reasonable price of up to $10, you can re-program it to get any 8p. processor coupled with sophisticated video and sound chips. And this will lead to attempts (presumably successful) to further improve the architecture. But don’t think that the writing will be any different, Merced is already the same Solaris, but not worse - since a more complex architecture places more stringent requirements on attempts to improve, 8p. It will be much easier for architectures in this sense. :)
So support Peters andAltera - their cause is just! :)

Sincerely, Andrey Savichev/CGS
