I wrote it and uploaded it to various bulletin boards about a year ago. The purpose of Quick TOS is to run disk based versions of TOS, such as TOS 1.0 or TOS 1.4, from a hard disk so that you save yourself the 30 seconds or so required to boot TOS from floppy. You can go from say, TOS 1.6 on a 1040STE to TOS 1.0 in about 3 or 4 seconds. It has nothing to do with pirating TOS (i.e. dumping your TOS roms to disk). and QuickTOS will not support such pirated versions of TOS. Shame on you. TOS only floppy is available from Atari dealers and maybe still from Atari. A TOS disk also came supplied with all early 520 STs. - Darek -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Darek Mihocka, author of Quick ST 3.0.
