I'm making archival copies (ATX where possible) of my original disks, and I'm finding many early titles that won't execute properly. Since these were from the 800 days, some of this may be because of the OS rather than bad disks.
Is there a list of commercial titles that require the 800 OS -- and -- what is the most compatible 800 OS? I've always thought that the Omniview OS was quite compatible, but maybe there are other good ones?
Thanks,
Larry
Of those, I would probably pick OmniView XE.. But check the CRC32 of the one you have, there are different versions floating around:
CEC9CA43 - The one I've had installed on my 320XE since the early 90's. Works great. No idea if it has any OS based RAMdisk function, never used it if it does.
E4BF5B98 - Found this on the net, seems functionally identical to the above one from my testing... Interested to know if anyone knows what's different.
5E908DB4 - I found pre-installed on my AtariM
