I'm going to save myself a whole bunch of hassle and simply cut-n-paste the post. Hey, my boss is looking over my shoulder again... maybe he wants to go!? Note that I've removed a load of non-ZX stuff. Check the board for full details.

There will be 2 computers on the party place so you can choose
which one will be used for your production.
a) Didaktik Gama 128 with D80 disk drive, TAPE, AY3-8912 in ACB
stereo, RS232 and 3 channels 8Bit D/A.
This is Slovak clone of Sinclair ZX Spectrum 128 - black.
b) Sinclair ZX Spectrum +2A with external +3 Interface, 3,5" and
5,25" DD disk drive. AY is in ACB stereo.
Music compo:
-----------
you can make both BEEP music and AY music. No matter WHICH Tracker
you will use. But if you use something special, PLAY routine MUST
BE included. Please write short read.me HOW to play your special
tune. Thanks to 3 channels 8Bit D/A you can use 8Bit samples in
Sample Tracker (Luxus Software).
- two tunes per musician
- 4 minutes per song
- you must specify the origin of music (cover/your own)
Graphics compo:
--------------

or
multichrome picture. For Interlace, Multicolor and Multichrome

Demo compo:
----------
there is only system "limitations"
- special TAPE loaders are prohibited
- you must use Basic and LOAD "" command
- machine code must be loaded from 25000 and upper address
- you can't use command OUT 32765,XX for paging in Basic;
everething must be done in machine code.
- +3 system friendly = 17th and 23rd page must be
loaded&decrunched at last, after this, ei instruction with
basic's calls is very dangerous for +3 system. To be absolutely
sure, delete +3 paging routines at 23296.
- when you are not familiar with +3 or there is no chance to try
your production under +3 don't worry; we will run your demo on
DG128 or I will try to +3 fix it :)
