Booting to TOS 1.0 from floppy disk.

Thanks @derkom

Always good to see and hear new things.

I noticed the boot TOS's have a thinner Atari logo (both the US and UK versions) than the TOS 1.0 that came with my Atari.

This was the info screen from my TOS 1.0 ROMs:

I have the same problem. Seltos never worked for me. Tried loads with it, all sorts of images, gave up in the end. Problem is TOS needs a lot of hacks to work from RAM. When the hacks don't work, neither does TOS. There is only EMUTOS which will behave.

Try these:

The UK version has these in the menu:

The US one just has the desktop.

p.s. I'd forgotten about TOS 1.0s nerve wracking pauses, where it just sounds like it's crashed.

You can load in any TOS image into its flash ROM , direct from that TOS image site. There's a video in my YouTube showing how easy it is to program... Oh you really need a H5 as well
