it's possible add the support for the Gigascreen, H/W multicolor, 512x192 in the next update of the bios for the Sprinter ??

Yes it's possible. It can be implemented in a next Spectrum configuration, if it will required for the users of Sprinter. Some time ago we had received the questions about it. But then it was used in a bit of software for ZX Spectrum.

Well, now gigascreen (two screens flicking in interlace) are very popular. I have heard there exist kind of graphic_card, which minimalize flickering. Would it be possible that gigascreen will not flicker on Sprinter, like on other Spectrums?

Gigascreen is a most easy device which can be added to Spectrum Configuration of Sprinter. Our plan of next BIOS&firmware updating include its creation already.
Other suggestions (H/W Multicolor, 512x192 screen) needs discussion still.

I have a schematic of Gigascreen card for pentagon with russian instructions. I think is possible to adapt it for sprinter. If anyone are interested can send me an email
flydream@jumpy.it

What exactly is hardware multicolour??

more colour per attribute or getting information on current raster position or what?

Support of Gigascreen is well known problem. Two screens will be flicking without blinking.
But hardware multicolor is known not so good. May be, it will be 8 attributes per character.

hello Alex. I have schematic of Gigascreen for Pentagon with russian instructions.
Is multicolor something like ZX Sprinter mode?

We have same information, thanks.

Is multicolor something like ZX Sprinter mode?

Hardware multicolor can be created for Sprinter as one more video mode. And it will be available from "Sprinter ZX".
"Sprinter ZX" mode is a Scorpion-256 with an opportunity to use: video modes (graphics: 320x256 256 colors, 640x256 16 colors; texts: 40x32, 80x32), all Sprinter memory (4Mb) and Audio System of Sprinter.
It was designed as comfortable mode for Spectrum-programmers which wish use a part of Sprinter's features only. We received not a lot questions about usage "Sprinter ZX". Probably, its useful features is not so clear?
