If you buy from CDY what you will want is his OMNIVIEW operating system chip
which, among other things, includes the Ramdisk handlers you need.  It will
also give you 80-column capability, and he includes a very nice word
processor.  I recommend you also get the Newell RAMROD board (also available
from CDY), which lets you keep your standard ATARI O/S chip available at the
flip of a switch in case you want to verify that some problem or other is NOT
caused by running a non-standard O/S.  OMNIVIEW by the way is designed to be
more compatible with old 800 software than the new 800XL O/S, so will run many
old 800 style programs that require translation to run on the new machines.
With the RAMROD board you have sockets for 3 O/S chips.  If you don't want to
experiment with your own (which you can do in RAM anyway) you probably ought
to get CDY's OMNIMONXL O/S to fill the third socket.  If you do any Assembly
language work, take my word for it, buy OMNIMONXL first and ask questions
later.
