I spent this weekend with my brother-in-law who has a 520ST, and we came up
with some questions I hope someone can answer:

1) Are TOS-in-ROM chips available to users?

2) Does protected software cause problems with the disk drives?  He has a
   DSDD drive (314??) that has serious problems copying FINAL WORD (the manual
   says to make backup copies).  Occasionally he has to try two or three times
   to copy a disk that is *not* protected (eg backing up ZORK I).

3) Are there any instruction manuals for NEOCHROME available?  We got a free
   copy from the local (Jax, FL) Games 'n Gadgets (I think it's v0.5), but 
   no instructions.

4) Is there a Jax FL user group for 520ST's?

5) Is there a compilation of public-domain or free software for the 520ST?


Thanks for any information.  Please mail directly to moore@ncsc, as I'm not
on this list (yet!)
