I've got a few quick questions maybe somebody can help me with:

1) I've recently been having trouble with my drive (1050) pausing
   during I/O until it gets warmed up (until it's been turned on
   for about 15 minutes or so). To my surprise, I've narrowed the
   problem down to originating from my XM-301 modem (the drive
   only does this if the modem is connected and gives the same
   effect on freinds' systems.). I was wondering if anybody out
   there has had similar problems (and to possibly warn some that
   if you experience this, it may be your xm-301 and NOT your
   drive), and too also see if anybody might know just exactly
   what the problem stems from.

2) Does anybody know of a patch to standard atari DOS 2.0 that allows
   it too work in TRUE double density. I've recently installed a
   USDoubler and would like very much too have a compatible version
   of 2.0 to use with it in double density mode. There was a short
   program in Antic (I believe) about 2 years back that did a patch
   to 2.0 which allowed it to operate in the 1050's dual density
   mode (thus freeing early 1050 buyers from horrid dos 3.0), so
   I'm hoping that the same sort of thing can be done for double
   density. And while we're at it, how about another patch that
   allows 2.0 to work at warp speed on a USDoubler drive?




Thanks in advance for any responses.
