In regards to a speedup program for the OLD tos which makes hard disk access
faster, I have a program called TURBODOS by Dominique Laurent and
Atari France (dated March 3, 1988).

This program supposedly fixes lots of bugs in the November 1985 release of
TOS, and it also supports a cache, and makes things much faster. I like it.

My only problem with it is that it is not compaible with NeoDesk. If I have
both installed I get erratic crashes and bizarre mouse stuff (sometimes keys
get logically locked, and sometimes the mouse pointer generates keystrokes,
sometimes I just lose the pointer entirely).

Does anyone else know of a program similar to Turbodos which works under
NeoDesk? I plan to get the 1.4 ROMS soon but don't have them yet.
