800_Rocks Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Hi - I can't boot this TT030 to see the TOS version on-screen as it is stored elsewhere. Based on the TOS labels picture it looks like it has TOS 3.06 based which is cool. Q1 - Is 3.0.6 the latest official TOS release for the TT030? Q2 - Over on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atari_TOS it mentions TOS 4.x Is 4.x only for the Falcon030 or could it be used on the TT030? TOS table found here: http://www.emulators.com/gemul8r.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moulinaie Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 You can use Tos 4 on a TT from disk. Rename it as GEM.PRG into the Auto folder. Guillaume 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zogging Hell Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 If you load MultiTOS or any replacement operating system you will get all of the 4.04 upgrades (and have multitasking as a side effect). All TOS 4.04 offers over 3.06/ 2.06 is support for various Falcon features and colour desk icons and '3D' coloured windows. If you want the coloured icons you are better off using an upgraded multitasking OS which will be more beneficial. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJolly Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Yes I think Tos 3.06 is the last. For coloured desk icons and windows @moulinaie has provided a way to get those in Tos 3.06. And very nice they look! He's on this thread. here's the link to his web page: Color TT (pagesperso-orange.fr) . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJolly Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Ah! Just checked and you may need a graphics card to run Color TT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moulinaie Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Color tt can run with tos 3.06 without graphic card but you won't get the background desktop or colored menus. Just the icons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJolly Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Yes I just tried it. Nice coloured icons on my TT. Thanks Moulinaie! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BJolly Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Yes! Just setting up my TT & resurrecting my Atari Hardware system after 16 + years. I really appreciate that some very useful atari web sites - like yours - are still up and running. 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like the leaked version of TOS 4.94 that I've heard about before, so no idea... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
