It only had QL level 2 directory capabilities (MAKE_DIR etc) and not the ATR device, which was a completely different ROM from someone in Germany (Jorg Schiemann maybe?). The idea of the ATR device was to allow a QL to read Atari format disks (hence the ATR name) and hence DOS disks since they are similar. I'd gladly add the ATR manual to the Docs CD if copyright allows it and someone could either OCR it or send me a copy to OCR. -- Dilwyn Jones _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
