| Nostalgia |
Sometimes I have nostalgia.
In school and university I work with USSR clone of PDP-11,
called UKNC.
My friend has ZX Spectrum at home.
Once we decide to transfer some picture from ZX Spectrum to UKNC.
As you know, Spectrum has strange videomemory organisation, so and UKNC. We must write
program to convert binary image of Spectrum's videomemory to UKNC-compatible format. We
write it.
We must only have this binary image.
In principle UKNC can read DOS-floppies, but we don't know
anything about this. So, my friend write on paper all 6192 bytes of Spectrum's videomemory
in decimal format. Then we input all data in UKNC from keyboard.
We make, of course, few mistakes, but at the end we print copy of screen on terrible
matrix printer Robotron.
I still have this printing :)
Here is image we transfered from Spectrum to UKNC.
