[Coco] [Color Computer] Re: ADOS

I believe Art Flexser still sells ADOS and ADOS III

I suggest you contact him directly...

ARTFLEXSER at delphiforums.com

A-DOS was developed by Art Flexser.  It came in three versions, ADOS for the 
CoCo 1 and 2, and ADOS 3 & Extended ADOS 3 for the CoCo 3.  It was 100% 
compatible with RS-DOS if you didn't need to patch Disk BASIC, and added 
features to RS-DOS, noteably  40 and 80 track drive support. ADOS came on a 
disk, and could be loaded into the CoCo, or you could customize ADOS, 
program an EPROM, and use the EPROM as your disk ROM, therefore booting your 
CoCo with ADOS.  This was a neat, because many users then set their CoCos to 
boot with the 80 column screen.  It also ran the CoCo at double-speed, even 
during disk and printer i/o, featured auto- line numbering, arrow scroll 
through listings, auto edit of errors, macros, etc. Extended ADOS 3 added 
things like parellel printer output (assuming you had the right hardware), 
wildcard filenames, and a RAMdisk..
