Ive finally finished this small project. Ive made a EPROM with the AMSDOS replacement called Parados. Ive simply burnt the ROM file onto a 27128 EPROM. Ive then remvoed the AMSDOS ROM(40015) from the 6128, installed a socket and droped in the Parados ROM.
The next part of the project is to get a 27C256 EPROM. This would then allow me to have both AMSDOS and Parados on the same EPROM. I attach a switch to the EPROM to allow me to choose which OS is selected when the machine is turned on.
Never heard of Parados until now. What makes it better than Amsdos?
Parados can handle different disk formats. It can read 720k disks in a 3.5″ drive. Also has a RSX (|drive) that allows you to format disks etc without having to boot CPM.
Is there any compatibility problems with some game/applications when running PARADOS ROM instead of standard AMSDOS ROM?
I’ve not come across any problems yet.
