Well, I just phoned my dealer, who certainly doesn't have it.  I
wonder if the general availability of Rainbow TOS applies to Atari's
overseas dependancies?  I'll hassle Atari UK anyhow - they probably
deserve it.

I think this question's already been answered, but I didn't see a
direct answer: will the new TOS be available to be fitted into all the
different ST motherboards?  I bought my home-use machine back in March
1986 when the first ROMs had just arrived in the UK.  Do I and others
like me have anything to worry about?
