How much >is 68.00 Deutsche Mark? 68.00 Dm are about 40$ i think. And what is a gem*dog*. Is it new :-)?? I can tell the ISBN No. of the gemdos sourcecode book. It is ISBN 3-88229-002-1 DAS TOS-LISTING Verlag Heinz-Heise In this book there are listings of BIOS,GEMDOS and VDI. -- My opinions are my own and my language too, as you see :-) Holger Brieger : dr.bit@netmbx.UUCP : dr.bit@netmbx.DE

One Buck is about 1.70 Deutsche Mark (changing dayly). Please contact the publishing company at Verlag Heinz Heise or contact me via e-mail Helstorfer Strasse 7 I will get in touch with the Heise-people 3000 Hannover 61 at the CeBit Faire (~ March 19) West-Germany maybe I could send you a copy. Beware! The book is german, as are the comments to the sources!

How much > is 68.00 Deutsche Mark? If Atari Germany sold the source to Gemdos, it overstepped the bounds of its authority. I believe that we do not have the right to distribute source code to Gemdos, which is, originally, a DRI product. You can't get it (legally) in North America. I urge you not to try, because it will create such chaos. Atari cannot be expected to support an OS if everybody with a C compiler can create his own version. Please be patient: I'm not kidding when I say the new GEMDOS will be out soon. (By "soon" I don't mean "next week." I mean "sooner than you could get the source, figure it out, make any useful changes, and debug them to the point that you would trust your hard disk's file structure to it.") ============================================ Opinions expressed above do not necessarily -- Allan Pratt, Atari Corp. reflect those of Atari Corp. or anyone else. ...ames!atari!apratt

Thats awfully true. I just recovered my harddisk from the backup... I found out what this book is, and what it cannot give you: it is not the compileble source of gemdos/bios/xbios. It just gives you a closeup to the system. It gives a lot of hints to *beware* sections and lists a couple of serious bugs. I just hope there ist somebody with a C-Compiler *and* the complete source (no ampersands missing...) who will recompile it and give us an update. hase -- Hartmut Semken, Berlin (West) (*east of West-Germany :-) hase@netmbx.UUCP answer: 42 question: under development.

That's what I wanted to read. (I gave up..). When will we see the update (in Europe)? Will we get some kind of "source" or hints to adapt TOS to homebrew hardware? I just finished patching my ROMs to support the german 68020 board PAK68. This patch was published in the ct, my favorite source of ST-internals.
