Hi Roger,

What I've found is that most(if not all) of the ramdisks and formatters break
on the new tos. I ended up going to Diamond II to do my backups. Most of the
new formatters now work, but unfortunately not the one in Diamondback II(I
haven't upgraded yet :{ ). I use TLCFRT to format,now.

Good Luck
Kent

 Hi Atarians,

 Just time to do a back-up on my Mega STE/4. So I decided to stop
the manual back-up story and use Turtle V3.20.

 But when I start it, I just get the following message:

Memory configuration will fail -

	TTLEXEC.TTP: 1303D6 - 13CBF4
	RAMdisk:     7C12C - 1303D5
	Screen:      3F8000 - 3FFCFF

 I tried to .ACX all my .ACC, to .PRX all my .PRG in the \AUTO\,
still the same message. Notice that the last value of the 'Screen'
line is weird: should it not be 3FFFFF?

 Anyone an idea???

 Thanks in advance for your help/reply.

The latest version of Diamond Back II is format compatible with the new TOS 
versions and also adds full TT compatibility and support for all alternative 
video modes(TT Hires, TT Medres, ISAC, Moniterm, Overscan).  You can get your 
upgrade(and you'll be glad you did because it includes Tons new features and a 
new manual) by sending your original disk and $7.50 to:
