+Stephen Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Looks awesome. Is this a multi-OS board for the 800? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rybags Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 In monetary terms I think that'd fetch more than a 32K board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanr256 Posted November 28, 2012 Author Share Posted November 28, 2012 Yes, it's the 8k Omnimon board with the Omnimon 80, Omniview256 and RDOS 800 chips. I'll have to review my docs but I think one of the chips can be plugged in the empty socket on the board. I have an 800XL with the OmnimonXL board. -Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. I will have to do some research on this one. My 800XL has the RamrodXL. My last exposure to an "omnimonned" 800 was way back in 1983/1984 when a friend had one. We used to experiment with programs using the monitor. -Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any chance of getting a dump of the Omnimon 8k ROM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanr256 Posted December 24, 2018 Author Share Posted December 24, 2018 The board is packed away in a box, like most of my Atari stuff. I do not have a way to dump it. -Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
