In a Forum-64.de thread it was suspected that the RRIOT number 091466-01
would belong to the 2020 disk drive. But the poster (is this you,
"HofMar", as well as the author of reference [10]?) also mentions that
he did not see such a 2020 on his own ever.

I don't want to open up other such speculations but I would expect that
both chips (-01 and -02) are the same DOS version, but different
revisions. Basically both being DOS 1.0, but the -02 with a bugfix.

This is interesting. Once I read a posting from Anders Carlsson over
here where he also told that DOS1 cannot be read out with the well known
method from William/Olaf/Marko.

Do you know why this is so? Does this unability belong to executing job
codes (let the DC execute a memory page copy routine)? Or has it
something to do with the BC? I would like to try to find a solution for
this within my version of the ROM copy tool.

That would be really great and I don't think that evereone else did it
yet. The Zimmer's archive doesn't it now as well as other places.


I'm willing to extend and/or fix my dumping tool to your local needs (to
make extracting feasible, not fulfilling all your wishes ;-) as long as
there is a chance to get a copy of the extracted image file.
