gladders Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Hi all, sorry for the string of threads lately... So I have a 520 STE upgraded to 4MB. The floppy drive is dying so while it can see files on some floppies, it invariably can't execute them. But that's another concern. Anyway when I turn it on, the white screen appears and the floppy drive starts whirring, and then after about 10 seconds TOS appears and it all seems fine. But isn't there suppose to be a RAM test and Atari logo on that white screen? Looking at Desktop Info reveals little about the version of TOS/GEM I have, but the latest year of copyright is 1989, and the Atari logo is rainbow...

exxosuk Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 (edited) I don't know what version of "rainbow" tos there is, but AFAIK its 1.4 only, that shouldn't be in a STE anyway. Not sure what version the logo came up in, but definitely its in TOS206. I don't know about 106 or 162 versions which are normally in the STE's but don't think the logo came up in them, someone else probably knows more on there. You could try the app sysinfo to show the version of TOS. Edited December 5, 2015 by exxosuk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junosix Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 (edited) Yeah, 1.6/1.62 doesn't show the logo or do the RAM test, it's TT/Mega STE/Falcon TOS versions that do that. 1.6/1.62 do the rainbow Atari logo under Desktop Info though.

_ThEcRoW Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 (edited) If you use tos 2.06 on your ste, it shows the logo and memtest. As you have 4mb,you can use tosram in order to load the tos in the ram and boot from there. Edited December 9, 2015 by _ThEcRoW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
