Gunstar Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 (edited) I remember Alan posted a bunch of Diamond stuff here a few years back when that long thread was on-going and people questioning the existance of 3.0. Which I was one of the few that actually did own back in the early 90's, The cartridge long lost, but the 2.0 and 3.0 manuals are still in my possession. 3.0 was only sold by direct mail-order from Alan and he would give you the choice to send the 2.0 cart in for an upgrade, or just send out the 3.0 eprom and new manuals to you. I chose the latter. Anyway, I think he posted the source code too, back then, but I guess it doesn't hurt to get it from another source just in case, for posterity. and you never know if something new might come to light, like some previously forgot desk accessories or something. I know I have some Diamond stuff somewhere on my PC that I downloaded from that thread. Well, I went and did a search and found the Diamond GOS 3.0 thread which has it for download, but I didn't see any posts or uploads by Alan Reeve. I think I might be remembering another thread on another Atari forum. But at some point he released it all into the public domain within the past few years, maybe it's archived online somewhere? Maybe the source code hasn't been uploaded and archived yet... I found all I had for Diamond 3.0 that I'd downloaded from where ever, it includes development stuff too, but I don't think any of this stuff is source code. And another .zip that contains, I think, all versions of Diamond GOS. posted below.

But I guess it was @bob1200xl that posted them here, instead of Alan Reeve. I did have a conversation with Alan on another forum and thread a few years back.

+bob1200xl Posted February 22, 2021 Author Share Posted February 22, 2021 Thank you for finding that for me. I don't remember the circumstances, but it seems to be all good. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's found source code that many thought would never be found or even declared public domain. He's been in contact with people like Bill Wilkinson and the family of the late Frank Ostrowski (Turbo BASIC XL). Sincerely Mathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
