Aieeee!!!  Where did you get it?  Aren't ROMs available where you live?

I _strongly_ advise against using _any_ disk based version of TOS,
especially if you don't know its lineage.  TOS ROMs have been available
for years, and Rainbow TOS ROMs now for months (UK users aside - but
that's another story, and hopefully one that is getting fixed).

I'd like to echo the sentiments of another article here recently:
How can Atari be expected to support an operating system if we don't know
what's _really_ in it?

Caveat Emptor.
