I don't like option 1 at all, BDOS is excellent but if you start to make it incompatible with software, I don't think it will remain as popular :( Option 2 sounds better, but that doesn't mean that you will stop development of BDOS itself does it? (i.e. You aren't talking of abandoning the current DOS with the CDROM functionality in favour of the MSDOS one are you?) > Anyone found the hidden demo in my RGB demo? Umm was RGB that demo that was on Fred a while ago, that didn't work first time...so they produced a patch in the next issue, and that didn't work either? :) Or am I thinking of something completely different?
