    OOO never seen the keypad before, most interesting so wheres it plug into; a Joystick port ?, and presume requires additional software to work.
    The calculator reminds me of a Texas Instruments one I had when Hmm oh much younger..

    I'll sort out some pictures and add them soon, I take it that it was the Rubber bungs you wanted the pics of :)

    I also like the drives, Black or not ...
    Actually a nice setup as we have seen over a period of time whilst you have built your command centre, And I know you will find small changes to enhance it further...
    So have you given your Brother the grand tour and let him loose on an Atari yet ?

    Hi All,
    hope you are all keeping well?

    Do any of you have documentation for replacement OS's, as having spent hours trawling through the net, there seems to be very little.

    I've completed my 4x OS board and fitted it to my one of my 65XE's, and it works very well. But to get the best out of it I need to know how to use the features of these replacements.

    Hope you can help.

    Regards

    Andy

    Hi there Andy,

    Do you mean like available OSes? Or the process of adding OSes to the OS board?

    Hi Tim,

    the available OS's themselves.

    I've found how to produce the ROM file from four separate files using the Copy function from the command line, so it's just knowing how to use any of the OS functions if they're built in.

    Regards

    Andy

    Sure. If someone else doesn't provide one first, I'll put together an archive of OSes for you-- probably in the morning (my time [it's 3:39pm here in Perry, MI USA]), as the wife and I shall be chillaxin' this afternoon. :)

    And in case I'm confused, are you asking after OSes or Languages, Andy?

    For example, are you simply wanting the various versions of Atari OS (like OS-B, OS-XL)?

    Or are you wanting languages, like Atari BASIC, OSS BASIC A+, BASIC XL/XE, etc.?

    Hi Paul
    No I didn't so I guess it must load it under the O.S ROM Do you have a copy or know where I can find / download it ? be nice to see how it works, i.e. copy to low RAM and then copy under the O.S or somehow direct.

    Reread a bit of the thread and I do hope that you didn't take it personally Graham, I was genuinely talking of around here in a jokey way, I'm sure judging by how you are that your daughters are smart and lovely people.

    I ordered a distributor from Rock Auto 8 days ago, shipped FedEx 7 days ago and according to the tracking updates has been sitting in Zionsville Indiana facility for all that time. An update 2-3 times a day saying the same thing. The delivery date has changed 3 times, the latest as of yesterday was today (Tuesday). This was suppose to be 2-3 day shipping. I haven't checked today yet...

    Edit: just checked, delivery now postponed until tomorrow...until tomorrow, that is, then it will be postponed again...

    Well it sure seems odd, But I'm aware each states has it's own by laws etc. My I guess Ex - Bro inlaw lives in Downtown Dallas, It's years ago since I visited him there but Texan Laws allowed you to drive at a diffrent speed to any (I think state), different Gun laws such as the Concealed Carry Licence in towns, and seemingly anything goes outside of town.
    I met up with several police officers, when I attended a Shooting range called the Bullet Trap, this was out of town in Plano. So I ended up with there view on firearsa as well, Even loaned me one of there personel handguns to tryout.
    There was a lot of interest in a place that during war time built all sorts of guns, known as the Royal small arms factory
    it's located about 5-6 miles from were I live. We also had the Royal GunPowder factory about a mile from that. apparently in it's day made the best gunpower..
    Hmm gone a bit off track .. I did a bit of driving when visiting Drove down to San Antonio, via Austin, I didn't drive northwards at all Well only to Plano so a little North.. If I driven the same distance North as I'd south; I'd have bumped into Oklahoma City although I gather you're a fair way out to the East towards Tulsa.
    I'm guessing you maybe in the same timezone as Dallas 5 Hours difference, not sure what summer time does to that but changing.
    Enough for now tho.
