Both Newell and I support the Rambo XL with our software.  MYDOS, which
comes with the 256KXL, is flexible enough to support it, the 256KXL, and
AXLON compatible ram upgrades.  The same is true of my OmniWriter.
Since the differences between these upgrades are very small for ramdisk
applications, there is no reason not to support them all except if you
need a marketing gimmick to help sell an inferior product.

Just this week Gord Spielmann of Oshawa, Ontario wrote to me with a
patch that is supposed to do the trick. He writes:

For the SpartaDos RD.COM file, the changes are on sector 148.  The
original file contains the following byte sequence:

60 64 68 6C 20 24 28 2C ...

For the 256KXL this has been changed to:

60 64 68 6C 40 44 48 4C 00 04 08 0C 20 24 28 2C ...


I don't know if this patch works since I have not tried it.  Let me
know if anybody has a problem with it.

By the way, OmniCom, my VT100/Kermit/XMODEM package, is almost ready for
distribution to the net.  I will be putting it on a <DUMMY> directory on
our host that anyone can access via FTP without a password.  The only
requirement is OMNIVIEW for the 80 column output.  Send me your mailing
address is you need more info on OMNIVIEW.  I will let everyone know
when OmniCom is ready to be fetched.
