Introduction
Diskmagazine released by the MSX Computer Club Almelo in April 1991.
Tips:
- you need to boot while pressing the CTRL key
- the magazine part has an animated intro in screen 5
- direct access to the menu by pressing CTRL + spacebar during the boot sequence
- the menu has a more professional look by using screen 6 and icons, it is also enhanced by stereo MSX-MUSIC/MSX-AUDIO songs in FAC Soundtracker 1 format (FST2.BIN is actually a first version of the driver STL2.BIN)
- the POKES*.ASC files are plain ASCII text files

Demos
Impact Promo
The second visit card of a very promising group, Impact, mentioning the composition of the group and announcing a megademo! Probably made before the promo released on the Dragon Disk 02 diskmagazine, as it does not have an intro screen with the Impact logo, but delayed by the internal changes for the MCCA Infodisk.
You can hear two different MSX-AUDIO or MSX-MUSIC songs, but you need to choose the music you want to hear on the first screen! MSX-AUDIO is always used when this chip is present. The stereo mode is selected only when you use the MCCA interface.
It is possible to enjoy the great stereo mode outside this interface, you just need to replace the FST.BIN driver by STL2.BIN (driver used in STL 2.11 created by C.S.I and E.M.P.). However, you must delete the existing IMPACT.004 file and rename STL2.BIN as IMPACT.004.
The musics are written in the FAC Soundtracker 1 format (IMPACT.004 is actually the original FST.BIN driver).
