There should be no problem converting your old disks from single to double density. OSS is writing ADOS, and from what I've read it will be able to read DOS 2.0, 4.6, 2.5, etc. It won't read DOS 4.0, 3.0 or SpartaDOS disks. -- -Marc L.

I just resocketed my 130 XE, but the chip boots up with a brown screen, just like my old burned out 800. My original OS works fine though. I think I just got a bum chip, but I'm going to try to socket it into one of my two 800 XL's to check it out.

Excuse my ignorance... but what is DOS 4.6? Will ADOS be able to read the 'Atari' format double density disks (these are just standard format disks which have 256 bytes/sector instead of 128) used by everyone else besides Atari? I bet SpartaDOS will have a new version out soon after the ADOS/XF551 combo hits the market. -- Dean Brunette {ucbvax,etc.}!hplabs!oliveb!olivej!dragon Olivetti Advanced Technology Center _____ _____ __|__ _____ 20300 Stevens Creek Blvd. | | _____| | | Cupertino, CA 95014 |_____| |_____| |__ |_____ ------------------------------
