Well I now have TOS 1.4 ("Great! Perhaps he'll stop moaning now"),
I actually had to send Atari UK the blank EPROMs to get it which I guess
beats anyone elses sob story. Do you think if I send them some chips and
solder they could make me a TT :-)
I didn't get any kind of release notes (user or developer) with it, just the
chips and a letter so I've requested them again.
First impressions?
I *LOVE* it!
Faster disk access
Beautiful file selector
Reset from keyboard
TPA almost back at TOS 1.00 level
Disk copy more intelligent (copies 10SPT)
Copy/Move file dialog shows what's happening
Fastload
These are just the first few things I tried out or discovered and I'm looking
forward to the rest. Many many thanks to Allan, Ken and everyone else at Atari
US who worked so hard to make this TOS the best yet. Any hope of the 1.0
patch?
Sadly I'm probably the last UK developer to get Rainbow TOS. If not send your
answers on a postcard to Atari UK ...
Who knows when Joe User will get a look at it. Soon we all hope.
