[comp.sys.atari.8bit] SpartaDos X?

jrd@STONY-BROOK.SCRC.SYMBOLICS.COM (John R. Dunning) (11/14/88)

I've heard a lot of good stuff about this SpartaDos X cart, so I decided
to buy it.  Unfortunately, all the mail-order places I try either say
it's not yet available, was available but is no longer, or they've never
heard of it.  Anybody know where I can lay hands on this mythical beast?

It's not mythical, but it's hard  to  get...  At  the  last  [11/5/88]
Suburban  Chicago  Atarians (SCAT) meeting, I asked an Atari dealer if
ICD had shipped him any SDX carts.  He said that  he  has  back-orders
dating from June!  (And we're in the same state [IL] as ICD :-)

So, I gave up on asking for it for Christmas :-(

  If you want the SpartaDos X cart then call ICD themselves.  Their number is
(815)968-2228.
   Currently they are shipping it with a preliminary manual which has a major 
bug in it.  Wherever you see the word "WINDOWED" substitute the word "BANKED".
 That is the bug, took me days to figure out.
