Atari has NOT released _any_ TOS 2.0 and especially on disk. If you have
a copy of a disk based TOS it is probably a pirated copy from one of our
subsidiaries.

I would urge you NOT to use this copy and destroy it. It's probably 
dangerous. No telling where it's been and if it's an early version of 
TOS 3.01 like I think it is.. then it is riddled with serious bugs.

There are no plans to release TOS 3.01 ( or TT TOS as it is also known )
for ST machines. It simply won't fit into the ROM space.
