As you may remember, years ago I designed an adapter that let you put both the system image and an option ROM image into a single chip that replaced the System ROM, both the standard (new) or non-standard (old) version; some folks on here may even still have one in their M100, probably loaded with TS-DOS.
In another M100 I replaced the option ROM with RAM and load/save/copy etc. various ROM images using the EME extRAM tools, but of course I can't have TS-DOS in the same memory area as the option ROMs. The Dial-a-ROM and REX are certainly excellent solutions, but I'd still like to make the Option RAM concept compatible with TS-DOS, even if I have to add or reuse a physical switch to select between RAM and ROM. Any other ideas? m On Sat, Feb 25, 2023 at 11:26 PM John R.
