LYNXGUY Posted November 2, 2005 Author Share Posted November 2, 2005 http://ftp.pigwa.net/stuff/collections/atari_forever/Dos/ and http://ftp.pigwa.net/stuff/collections/nir_dary_cds/DOS/ and http://www.langesite.com/Atari/DOS/ No pictures on any of these sites (example .bmp, jpeg, .jpg ) I am looking for something that I can right click on and save and some links worked and some didn't. I never heard about such a DOS. Does it exist? Was it shipped with RANA drives? I believe it is called RANA SMART DOS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunstar Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 I am looking for screen shots of the following DOS SYSTEMS. . . . DOS XL DOS 2.0 DOS 2.5 DOS 3.0 RANA DOS SPARTA DOS THANKS 958082[/snapback] In case you are interested, but did not know, there is also a DOS 4.0. It is complete and VERY good, but it was never released by Atari officially. IIRC, it was meant for the 1450XLD line. Anyway, it's been available for years, works with all atari's (not sure if there are memory restrictions) first through the Antic software catalog years ago, and now can be found online, I believe, like any of the other DOS images. I'll see if I can hook you up with any links. There is also a DOS from Australia called Super DOS, I think it was PD, which is also a fantastic DOS.

Cybernoid Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 (edited) The dos I used the most, second to SpartaDOS, was Smart DOS. I liked that you just press 1-4 for a disk menu... very little key pressing! SpartaDOS 1.1 would work on an 800/400...

LYNXGUY Posted November 2, 2005 Author Share Posted November 2, 2005 MrFish & Cybernoid thank you very much now all I need is DOS XL and I can't remember if it came with the Indus GT disk drive or not but I am pretty sure it did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did we already have a thread/poll about "Your favorite DOS"? That could be interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LYNXGUY Posted November 3, 2005 Author Share Posted November 3, 2005 (edited) Well I found DOS XL and Cybernoid had it all along Edited November 3, 2005 by LYNXGUY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miker Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Well, i thought that you run it in Atari800WinPLus and do the screenshots yourself - emulator has this option. Well, never mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rybags Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 SuperDOS was packaged with a locally developed "poor-man's Happy Board" which was a turbo-upgrade for the 1050 drive, but without the features which allowed reproduction of copy protection schemes. I'm fairly sure the company that made them was based in Queensland. They also developed "SuperMON" which was an OS with built-in monitor (like OmniMon). I think they might also have developed "SuperRAM" for the 400/800 which allowed bank-selecting an extra 16K, mapped at $C000-$CFFF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fox Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 I don't have Atari800WinPLus, I have XFORMER 2000 XFormer sucks. As for DOSes, MyDOS and DOS II+ aren't bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emkay Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 By the way: I wonder why there is no "Happy-Dos" mentioned. It was imho the best dos with Dos 2.5 compatibility. As small as the Dos 2.5 DOS.SYS, it was always resident while using Basic and switching between Cartridge and Dos was without any need of loading from disk. Later I used Turbo-Dos, just to have a speed advantage with the Speedy 1050. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LYNXGUY Posted November 4, 2005 Author Share Posted November 4, 2005 XFormer sucks. I haven't had any problems with it so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always loved it becuase it was DOS 2/2.5 compatible plus had tons of other great features like the extended/advanced menu and also work with ICD's Ultra Speed Doubler upgrade for the 1050 (the maker's of SpartaDOS which originally came with it) with both speed increase and true double density. IIRC, I think I go SuperDOS in the states from a "PD" disk I ordered from a PD library catalog I got out of an Atari magazine add; it had many different DOS's on it.
