Looks awesome. Is this a multi-OS board for the 800?

[Rybags]

In monetary terms I think that'd fetch more than a 32K board.

[ryanr256]

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.

That's the RAMROD MMOS by Newell Industries, a nice find

The multi-OS circuit board is called the Ramrod/RamrodXL depending on 800/800XL, Omnimon/Omniview are names of Newell OS's.

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.

RDOS was a ROM based version of MyDOS.

I has 1 8k Omnimon on my Atari 1200XL but what I seen is pink screen and what it does do ? Anything special than BASIC 8 K ROM ? Can you give me specific web site about 8k Omnimon on Atari 8 bits ?

Do you still have this board? Any chance of getting a dump of the Omnimon 8k ROM?

[ryanr256]

The board is packed away in a box, like most of my Atari stuff.

 

I do not have a way to dump it.
