sanny Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Hi, I was reading the OS/A+ manual where they speak about an Apple version and the Atari version. Did the Apple version really exist? I haven't found a disk image of it. regards, chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Mynott Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 I had a quick look and the closest was https://archive.org/details/oss-basic-manual/CP-A License and Notes/ This is a OSS CP/A for Apple 2 - an earlier version of OS/A+ also available on Atari (?). The notes there suggest that OS/A+ apple may not have been released (although I know the Atari manual has references to it). I booted the Apple 2 woz image under emulation and it looks very much like a minimal OS/A+ and it has OSS BASIC 1.0 on the disk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Mynott Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 (edited) An earlier thread here suggests CP/A was renamed OS/A+ following legal issues with the name from the owners of CP/M. According to manual dates it looks like it was written first on the Apple 2 and ported to the Atari.

magnusfalkirk Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I followed the link to the Archive org page, you can find a .woz disk image of CP/A there. Scroll down the Download Options to Show All. Once on that page scroll down to CP-A.woz. Or you could just click on the Torrent, which will download a torrrent file that you can use a torrent client to download everything in the Show All files.
