Can anyone help me obtain NVDI 2.5?

It's missing from Atari Mania and the versions that are there are a format I can't convert.
I can only convert MSA and LZH formats.

I would like to test these older versions to see if any work with EmuTos and Notator without crashes.

Thorsten has actually compiled a super-small version of NVDI 2.5 that is just the AUTO program, just copy it in and you're done:

Maybe someone @thorsten.otto @Steve could put it in our software section so we have a archive of all V2.5 variations..

Thanks Steve. I'll just create another account as I'm still unable to log in.

I think I got my NVDI 5 off your Atari Music Network which is now offline.

Thanks Exxos. I discovered a problem with Notator while testing clickoff. 3 of the editor command keys crash the program. When I remove NVDI 5 it doesn't crash, so I'm going to test older versions and see if I can make things more stable.

I'm very happy now this is the least of my problems. All this chopping and changing and the Atari's been great!

:) This is why I just like to accelerate the actual ROM itself. Of course is not going to be as fast as NVDI.. Compatibility wise just running ROM faster doesn't generally break anything... Also does not use any RAM.. But of course there is always trade-offs with all this stuff, pros and cons as always.
