BillC Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 I saw this board on ebay, but havn't found the OmniDOS ROM dump of it. Can someone post a dump of this? Ramrtod-OmniDos.JPG From the following ANALOG article it appears to be MyDOS in ROM: http://archive.org/stream/analog-computing-magazine-29/Analog_Computing_29_1985-04_CES_Part_2_djvu.txt 8K OMNIDOS (RAMDOS & OMNIVIEW) MYDOS 3.x DISK OPERATING SYSTEM This disk operating system is compatible with 2.0S, serious user in mind. Supports all 5 1/4 & 8 inch drives. Single & double sided & density, 35, 40, 77, 80 tracks. Allows keyboard con- figuration of all drives. Duplicate with or without format, all or specified sectors.

Sincerely Mathy I took another look at the link I posted, and while I first thought that that the line with OMNIDOS referred to the following text it doesn't.

+David_P Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Sounds like they recompiled MyDOS so part would be memory resident at $C000-CFFF; burned it into a ROM, and added some switching logic for OMNIMON. An interesting approach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathy Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Hello David, folks All ROM versions of MyDOS except for the relative new one made by Video61, were written by Charles Marslett. Check out what Charles said about his ROM versions on my MyDOS page, right below the picture. Sincerely Mathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
