The menu's disks I have are lite dos menu's dos 2.0S, 2.5, 3 + 4, Boot sector menu's Multiboots, Ian K, Rob C, Howfendos 1 + 2 and Alpha Boot (90kb, 130kb), most Rob C menu's and Howfendos 1 needs the Translater disk on XL/XE. SpartaDos menu's, lite dos menu's dos 2.0D, boot sector menu's US Alphaload, Howfendos 1 + 2 and Elton C (180kb), Howfendos 1 boot sector menu's also needs Translater disk on XL/XE. I am actually cataloging my entire Atari 8bit collection as I am planning to offload everything including unreleased software and manuals, when I have finished the list I will offer it here to UK users first I may split, however I am not documenting any Pirate software, but I will ask what disk densities they can handle thus not giving them 180kb disk when they only have a stock 1050. The unreleased stuff goes to Atari-Age!

Greetings Ladies and Gents, [BillC] that true if we are talking about Dos type files, however Multiboot and Ultra Speed Alphaload do not use Dos file types, they are boot sectors of an actual boot disk or cassette. Most people that wrote these boot menu programs only had a single disk drive (1050 with Lazer, Happy, Super Archiver 2, US duplicator or US Doubler) modification to allow 180kb per side, therefore were only designed for one drive copying, a basic 1050 130kb cost £300 in 1986 plus a minimum of £60 for a 180kb modification £360 about $486 USD or $622 CAD, I got my first Atari 400 in January 1010 tape deck in June 1985, a 800XL in January 1986, a second hand Atari 810 disk drive in November 1986, in 1988 I borrowed a quad 1050 180kb for a month while developing the early foundations of Assembly Source Interface V1.2A that was released in September 1992, in 1989 I offered to buy the quad 1050 and got it, but never paid for it until 1999!

Thank you Bill I already seen that FAQ, but it offers no insight of what bugs was fixed in each version, so I am still looking!

Greetings Dean what you doing in Scotland, I thought you were based in Doncaster (UK)? you may or may not remember me, but I created your PD 191 ASI V1.5AM+!

Greetings Ladies and Gents, does anyone have a bug-list for the versions V1.1, V1.2 and V1.3 of Omnitrend's Universe??

Thank you! Universe V1.2 Format Disabled.zip

Anyone got a copy Omitrend's Universe V1.2 ATR's?

I had a quick look and the issue was the 102 (year) was static, quite possible it was version 1.0 or 1.1!

My pirate copy that I obtained from a Newcastle (UK) super pirate in 1993 could not be completed as it had a bug with the year, the months increased but the year remained the same year thus you never got the hyperspace booster message and also could not pay-off the loan, no idea what version it was.

There you go! Universe 1.3 Format disabled.zip But you really should get a copy of Disky II the best sector editor. see #34 by therealbountybob http://atariage.com/forums/topic/239573-atari-disk-editor-advice-wanted/page-2

If you would you like to stop the game from formatting your "Player" disk everytime something goes wrong, then get a sector editor. After this minor change on both disks all that will happen when something goes wrong is the game will stop, thus you can either reboot the "Flight 1" or "Starport" disks to try again, plus you don't need to backup your "Player" disk every five minutes or so.

Greetings [Binarygeek] Rick I would be more interested in the locations that you modified for each function, but my main gripe was running out of fuel and when you went back to base it was game over. A few modications you could do: 1: Every time you sink a ship increases your fuel by 7 days, adds 4 torpedoes and 10 gun rounds. 2: Torpedo reload time to 4 seconds. 3: Just standard complement of fuel, gun rounds and torpedoes. 4: Standard depth for gun and periscope.
