That's the just name on my Atari archive CD-R. Also, keep in mind that you need the original Diamond GOS super cart with its PLA chip to use this image. It will do you no good with a standard cartridge. And for those that don't know what Diamond is...it's a programmable GUI environment created around 1988 for the Atari 8-bits that offering moveable windows, mouse support, and all of that type of stuff. Unfortunately there weren't too many apps made to take advantage of it so the programmable aspect really didn't end up helping too much. Reeve Software did release a Paint, Write, and News Station for it (I think we released a Diamond News Station?), as well as a developer's kit. Anyhow...hope the 3.0 ROM helps...I'm an emulation fanatic and I certainly appreciate what 'Yogi' did a couple years ago with maintaining the big Atari 8-bit archive (I contributed many files myself) and I love to see this stuff kept alive for the history books. - Alan From: areeve@mindspring.com (Alan Reeve) Newsgroups: comp.sys.atari.8bit Subject: Here's the Diamond GOS 3.0 ROM - Diamond2.rom (0/1) Date: Wed, 04 Nov 1998 00:42:26 GMT Organization: MindSpring Enterprises Lines: 7 Message-ID: <363fa26a.16871149@news.mindspring.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: user-37kb6qc.dialup.mindspring.com Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Server-Date: 4 Nov 1998 00:43:40 GMT X-Newsreader: Forte Agent 1.5/32.451 Xref: fermi.tro.net comp.sys.atari.8bit:9650 Here's the final Diamond GOS ROM image...precisely 64k...burn it to a 27512 and you'll be set. As usually I take no responsibility for any side effects in doing this. You're free to distribute it...add it to Atari archives...make emulators that work with it...whatever... Sorry if anyone is bothers with binaries in this newsgroup, but it's only 64k. - Alan
