Back to work. Avai paperwork was pushed through. Vanji's phantom company underwent structure and name change, we're now a LLC and we are co-owners, 50:50. The investment I made was all in inventory - the atarist, the TV to plug it in, my home PC (still the 386sx with 2M memory and a 14" color monitor), table and chairs. Which we'll summarily write off as of end of next year, announcing it worthless, but on this day we declared it worth 1000 marks or some such amount, which was the legal minimum for me to become a co-owner. I went to court with all the twenty-some sheets of paper and got it done before lunch. Vanji claimed it was at some much later date, and I've somehow remembered fourth as the date, even though it was a sunday. Perhaps we put that date on the documents, when we signed them - which probably was true.
These days the hardware guys at Szoftex pulled a special one. They started installing Windows 3.1. That would probably be 3.11, it being the networked version and in hungarian, therefore the preferred one, as the subtitle of the company said "computing technique and data transport", accent on networking. They found somewhere a driver which would push the sound files (just .wav then) to the onboard beeper. Which is a why-not, such fun was done since forever, even on zx spectrum. It does lay a burden on the processor, but then why not, while the board is still being tested, still on the rack. The screwy part is that they replaced the dingdong sound announcing the bootup of the Windows with a sound of some 1904 crank engine, sputtering and banging, sounding like it's going to fall apart any second. And the box is open, disk is probably not screwed into the rack, still on the side... the effect was hilarious.
