[08:52:07] zxrom/rizon Hi!
[08:52:30] zxrom/rizon ЛоХи!
[08:57:54] zxrom/rizon BlueyHealer, Привет! Я не лох, просто анекдот такой есть.
[08:59:29] zxrom/rizon Are you forcing us to speak English? Or ask?
[09:00:16] zxrom/rizon We wrote untranslatable words into a foreign language.
[09:01:32] zxrom/rizon Are there fans of retro technologies from the 70s or 80s of the last century on this channel?
[09:02:37] zxrom/rizon I meant 8-bit home computers.
[09:03:17] zxrom/rizon Радио 86-РК?
[09:03:45] zxrom/rizon Орион 128?
[09:03:50] zxrom/rizon Orion 128
[09:05:17] zxrom/rizon CRISS CP/M DIY homebrew computer?
[09:06:33] zxrom/rizon Any black box from the 80s can be disassembled and created on transistors. Or FPGA.
[09:07:47] zxrom/rizon FPGA is very practical. Even more practical than discrete microcircuits from the 80s.
[09:08:59] zxrom/rizon Shit!
[09:10:14] zxrom/rizon Rizon, Why did you kick my interlocutor?
[09:11:14] zxrom/rizon This is some stupid channel.
[09:20:45] zxrom/rizon ski, I don't have C64. I am a fan of Atari and ZX Spectrum. ZX clones were the most popular computers in the USSR!
[09:22:15] zxrom/rizon ski, You can even buy a set of parts today and assemble the popular Soviet ZX clones. The Pentagon 128 clone is the Russian demoscene standard.
[09:23:08] zxrom/rizon Beta Disk 128 Interface with TR-DOS included.
[09:23:13] zxrom/rizon Yes!
[09:24:05] zxrom/rizon No one knows for sure who the author is, and the people came up with the name, because of the shape of the power conductor with five corners.
[09:26:20] zxrom/rizon Yes! Handicraft production, and just independent for themselves. In general, about 100 different models of ZX Spectrum 48/128 clones were invented in the USSR. And even today they are invented.
[09:26:32] zxrom/rizon Yes!
[09:31:26] zxrom/rizon ski, In general, compatibility was good. But most clones had their differences. None were 100% compatible, just as the original models 48 and 128 onwards were incompatible. Sometimes some capricious programs did not start. But everything could be fixed according to the diagrams from the magazines.
[09:33:27] zxrom/rizon ski, The USSR used SECAM (joint development of the USSR and France). PAL support appeared in new Soviet TVs. But most ZX clones used SCART/RGB.
[09:33:53] zxrom/rizon Yes, circuit diagrams.
[09:36:44] zxrom/rizon ski, Haha! Atari even released a SECAM version of their Atari XE for France! This computer has a SECAM-GTIA IC.
[09:39:30] zxrom/rizon Soviet TVs of the latest generations of the 80s were easily modified to RGB. The unified TV models 3USCT and 4USCT had printed tracks on the boards without details for this feature. It was just a matter of soldering a few parts and installing the connector.
[09:39:49] zxrom/rizon Yes/
[09:39:53] zxrom/rizon Yes.
[09:40:31] zxrom/rizon Gomel is the closest regional center to Chernobyl.
[09:40:47] zxrom/rizon Yes.
[09:50:59] zxrom/rizon ski, The ZX doesn't need 256 colors. Today there are other computers for this. My last ZX clone had 1024K RAM and a CP/M equivalent and an extra extended screen. But still it was mostly for me ZX Spectrum 128!
[10:02:19] zxrom/rizon There is a widely known test for retrocomputers. It's called Bad Apple! Does everyone know this?
[10:03:52] zxrom/rizon "Bad Apple!!" is anime :)
[10:04:57] zxrom/rizon So I liked how it was launched on a Soviet school computer, with the PDP-11 architecture. There are two versions, for a turbocharged computer, and for a standard one.
