I'm trying to convince Sparta Dos to work with my Happy-enhanced 1050 (or is it the other way around?). I know it is possible to set the Happy 1050 in U.S. Doubler emulator mode, but it's a pain to have to boot with Warpspeed 7.0, set US emu, then reboot with Sparta. Ideally, I'd like to get a .COM file that sets US emu mode, and run it at startup. I will gladly write such a program myself and post it if someone would be kind enough to provide the technical info regarding what SIO commands the Happy is expecting. Even better, if someone could provide me with the new address/phone for Happy computers, I will order the tech. manual and do it all myself (the phone number listed in my Happy docs connects me to a Dentist's office in California!). And finally-- is there some sort of a public source of Sparta utility programs? And if there is, why aren't they also on atari.archive? And did the crash of Atari.archive affect the 8-bit software too? -Roy Wood

There are quite a few SpartaDOS utilities on GEnie and I would imagine on CompuServe too. The file name doesn't always give a good indication that they work with SD. You will have to look at the long descriptions. I have a lot of them on some PD disks that I got from our Users Group but I can't get to them now. A couple that come to mine are 'wedge' and 'wedge2'. There are many more. Kit Kimes AT&T Bell Labs Naperville, IL ...!att!iwtsa!kimes

I think I know where to get it around here. I will see what I can do. If anyone else wants it, maybe I will post it, otherwise, I will email it. *---------------------------------------------------------------------* !
