UR andUR-2 were different.Built in you have Word, Idea!, T-Base, T-Report and
View80.Sardine and DOS were Ram add-ons that could be loaded when needed.A
great ROM but the RAM versions of Sardine are MIA except for the 200.
This ROM is just Word, Dos and Sardine. So it really isn't extending the
Ultimate ROM series.
At this point I'll post the beta as SARDOS but if we get a better name I'll
change it. Not the greatest name but it clearly defines the two ROM images that
were merged together to make it.

How about Ultimate Rom 3 (URIII or UR3)?. It's not as catchy, but it extends
the series, which is what you are doing.

That's one of the names I thought of. In fact, the folder were all the
disassembly code is on my machine is SARDOS.
Either that or PHENIX but I'm not sure if that describes it at all. Has to be 6
characters to fit on the menu.On Mar 28, 2016 8:37 PM, Cobergland

Not for the NEC. But I have been testing it on Virtual-t. Wouldn't have been

You don't have a Rex? That and virtual t are the best ways to test option roms.

I think so. It's the ROM I have wanted to some time. I finished it up today so
the image is off to the EPROM burner. Now the real testing begins.

Subject [M100] A New ROM on the way
I've been working on a new ROM for my NEC for about a year now and I'm
just about ready to release it. I took the Sardine ROM and TS-DOS ROM
and figured out how to merge them into one. It required me to move 33
bytes of code from Sardine higher up into the ROM area, removal of the
internal 7k word dictionary and then adding TS-DOS. I had to change some
of the jumps in TS-DOS to match the OptROM code that switches back and
forth to the regular system ROM but everything is working really well
now. The two outstanding issues are to get rid of the Sardine prompt
that asks if you want to spell check with the Rom or Disk and the T-Word
indicator that checks to see if DOS is loaded. Right now it is looking
for the RAM hooks not the ROM hooks. Once I have these two items ironed
out I'll post it.
