CB>-Todd Elliott The 1571, D060 and D9090 use Dos 3.0. The 1541 and 2031 use Dos 2.6. The 8050 uses Dos 2.5. The 8250 uses Dos 2.7. (I think the SFD-1001 does too but it isn't in this list) The 4040 uses Dos 2.1. The 2040 uses Dos 1.0. The 1571 should be the best bet. Question: Will the 1571's rom chip just plug into the 1541 in place of its rom chip? - This message was sent through the cbm-hackers mailing list.
