Almost got a hold of the original cartridge on ebay but was outbid in the last minutes. 991030[/snapback] Diamond_GOS_Package.zip Contains: GOS 2 (rom), Write, Paint, Utilities, and Startup (disks) The startup disk is configured for 128k and 2 disk drives, if I remember correctly. However, you can make your own startup disk with your own configuration using the utilities disk if necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunstar Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 I used to have Diamon Gos years ago. I really wanted to like it, but it's programs, especially paint and write had so many bugs it made them unusable for me. I even upgraded to 2.0 hoping that would solve the "bug" problems...no luck. So, I gave up on it. Everytime I was in the middle of a picture or paper, it would crash on me and I'd lose everything. I, unfortuantely, have no fond memories of Diamond due to the bugs. It became a collosal waste of time and money to me. I'm glad other desktops like Boss and Atos are available now, ones that actually work right.

I was disappointed with Write for several reasons, but I never had any problems with Paint. I was running the real thing on a 130xe back in the 80's. I used this program for graphics in several applications I wrote back then. I still think it's a decent program, but I can do graphics much easier with photoshop and then import them into a8 format. The only problems I have had recently is when I was emulating in a different configuration than the startup disk was made for (i.e.: 1 meg memory in emulation/128k startup disk configuration).

classics Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 (edited) There is a GOS image for the 1mbit flash cart that operates just like a real cart, sans the pass-thru connector of course. Might help if memory is tight using the disk version. Steve Edited December 30, 2005 by classics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Guitarman Posted January 5, 2006 Author Share Posted January 5, 2006 Here's the documentation on GOS, Write, Paint, and Application Development:Diamond_GOS_Docs.zip 991867[/snapback] MrFish, Many thanks for posting the Diamond files. They work great in Atari800Win. Now to burn the rom image to a ROM and test it out. I also downloaded the ATOS OS. Very nice. Time to build or get a MyIDE interface.

Guitarman, do you actually play guitar, or is that just a handle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the original disk of that one. It was a demo and very limited functionality. Found on another site: - G.O.S., the Graphic operating system by Total Control systems; two differentversions are avaiable (I call them GOS 1 and GOS 2) and they are PD; - G.O.E., the Graphic Operating Environment also by Total Control Systems (this one merely works under Sparta DOS, not with Bewe-DOS and not at all with DOS 2.x); so far I have found 3 different versions (GOE 1,2,3) with some applications (graphic/painting program, etc.); PD; Yes...I am a guitar player. I have beenj playing since about 1977. I am a headbanger at heart but presently playing in a country band. Check out Crimson Collar Website.

+MrFish Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Yes...I am a guitar player. I have beenj playing since about 1977. I am a headbanger at heart but presently playing in a country band. Check out Crimson Collar Website. 994875[/snapback] Nice website. I'll have to give a listen to the audio files later on. I've been playing guitar since about 1980, so you've got a few years on me. I also have my roots in playing hard rock from the 60's and 70's, but I've been involved in various other types of music over the years, including country. I could guess something was up from your picture, I wouldn't say an Ibanez with humbuckers (well, at least one) and a tremolo unit is the typical country and western set-up.
